Deeply amber in the glass. Aromatics a touch restrained but with some aggressive swirling it brings out the caramel-y fruit. Maybe a bit over the hill, lacking some acid. But still nice. — 8 years ago

Lots of acidity. This will age for a while. I'd suggest laying it down. Dances on the palate. Grassy finish. — 8 years ago

Only 1 barrel of this was made in '13. It has the front of a SB with the nose and finish of a quality Chardonnay. — 9 years ago

This vintage shows more oak than in prior vintages. Big, bold, version of California chardonnay. Missing the elegance of last year. Still enjoyable. Just me splitting hairs. — 9 years ago

Opened last bottle this evening. Still structured but the tannins mellow and become less disjointed as it warms and aerates. Clove, cardamom, spicy black olive. A bit of tannic dustiness clouds the finish but let's pour a second glass and see what happens next. — 8 years ago

Lots of mushroom and a bit of funk on the nose. Love it. Fine tannins and such a perfect mouthfeel and velvety finish. Much more aligned with my Pinot characteristic preference. — 8 years ago

Another post of my recent CA trip to see my daughter we visited Santa Barbara Winery Babcock. We tasted was Radical Pinot Noir from a small hillside in the heart of the Radian Vineyard, owned by grower Jonata Winery. Ruby red with purple tones and aromas of ripe fruits and complex spice. On the palate concentrated flavors of raspberry and cherry infused with dried aromatic herbs and fine tannins. The finish had a touch of smoky tones and lingered through the ending. Very Nice. Tasting Sample. — 9 years ago

With every wine I suppose their is a story....but this one is special. Last night the honorable Judge and 6'7" finesse forward @Roman Sukley opened an incredibly rare and special bottled of SQN with a personal note inscribed on the bottle "made for my great friend Roman and his family and all his friends, Manfred"....not only was it an astoundingly generous gesture by Roman but the wine was spectacular and to me drank like an aged Riesling, with fantastic structure, rich kumquat, burnt honeycomb and warm apricot flavors and a long sweet and intense finish. The cork pic is residual sugar that Roman spotted and documented. The other members of crew in the photo are Roman, Doctor of wine @Charles Gudas and the beyond compare @DAG....much thanks for the new friendship, good times and amazing wines. — 9 years ago
