My favorite of their reds. Lots of plum flavors. Would be awesome with food. — 5 years ago

This really hit the spot with our grilled shrimp and vegetables. Honeysuckle, toasted honey, apples, maybe some lees? Refreshing, complex for a white, and a great balance of fruit, inorganics, and acid. Top notch if you’re looking for an Italian style white! — 6 years ago

Dense and aromatic, with ripe blackberry and cassis but no sweetness or syrup. Loads upon a loads of white pepper. Fine tannins. This has aged remarkably well. I have this sense, perhaps mistaken, that Wells basically did a stylistic about face between 2006 and 2007 but perhaps that overstated the case. — 7 years ago

Delicious and a little funky in that old world tiny bit of brett and VA, but unobtrusive way. Yum. — 7 years ago

Beautiful, elegant, ripe and dry light & mid red fruits. Red licorice & cola, super soft chalkiness, round semi-sweet earth with crushed rocks, beautiful acid and long ripe elegant fruit finish. Friends of ours brought this to dinner and I'm calling the winery to buy an allocation tomorrow. — 7 years ago

I'm with Byron and he decided to challenge us. This reminds me of picking blackberries and passing forks for the pie. Ride with me down the Russian river but stop and take Bart to this haven. — 9 years ago

Nose of a classic zin - dark berry filled fresh baked scone.

A good solid zin. Not too hedonistic, more focused and less Jam.
Blackberry bramble, anise, astringent tannins. Hump day wine.
For those who love a good zin at a great price.

Firm tannins give this cab structure. But there is also plenty of fruit. A complex, layered experience. Nice. — 7 years ago

Probably the most exciting wine I've had from California or maybe the U.S. this year. Absolutely delicious, refreshing acidity with bright, soft blackberry fruit and the faintest hint of cassis on the finish. It's perfect. This is my favorite kind of wine. — 7 years ago

Had on Jet Blue of all places. Dry and smooth, they could have circled all day and I was ok. — 8 years ago

9.3

Oh man. Cool wine. It's almost Savoie-like in its mountain berry purity on the nose and in the mouth, but has some great grippy tannins and acid to let you know it's here. Really one of the most interesting wines (and wineries) from Sonoma. Get some while you can. Yum. — 8 years ago

Smells blue, like the color of a washed blueberry. Balances huge power and blue fruit with a clean cut. Not gloppy at all. — 9 years ago

Complex yet accessible. Notes of dark red fruit. Balanced. — 9 years ago

Mike Daniel

8.9

Toasty and alcohol dominant upfront, but a little decant or time in the glass and this peppery, oaky, berry petite Syrah is ended up nicely. Actually had enough glycerol flavor and structure to have some layering of flavors after 30 minutes, and would likely be even better in a couple more years. Dark fruit moves to the forefront with balanced spice and wood with some time. Not a huge wine, but really good value. — 6 years ago

Wine for slugging...actually they could’ve made it a little lighter on its feet now that I say that, but for $14....I actually think maybe they could’ve cut out a bunch of parts and labor in the process and it would fly even faster — 6 years ago

This wine drank like it was produced in Vittoria Sicily. Big funky and super earthy, lots of barnyard. Great Nero, was astonished it was produced in US. — 7 years ago

Brilliant wine from broc cellars. Great minerality and berries. Really well balanced. One of the top roses for me this year. — 8 years ago

First vintage bottled under the new Eagle Peak AVA. Already drinking fantastic out of the bottle with a perfectly perfumed nose and a texture that tells you stems were involved during fermentation. About 15% carbonic maceration on this vintage. — 8 years ago

I was skeptical at first...inky black and 15.3 ABV, but the wine is well balanced with plenty of freshness and lift. Just the ticket with tonight's daube de boeuf. — 8 years ago
