The most special of wine experiences. 40 years tastes great. Thank you, Ben, for the idea and selection! — 6 years ago

Vino rojo-purpura con destellos violetas muy brillantes, en nariz resalta la ciruela negra antes de ser pasa y los frutos rojos, la pimienta, el romero, detectó cardamomo, hierbabuena y un poco de tostado, en boca muy aterciopelado (casi cosquilloso), taninos medios y chocolate negro (de los finos) y un final largo. Lo acompañe con un corte rib-eye prime grueso, espárragos, queso maduro y un jamón ibérico de bellota y todo marido delicioso — 7 years ago

Monthly WTF wine group. Special event this month as Ben provided all ‘80s Napa cabs. A few of us chipped in and provided some whites/bubbly.

Toasted Graham cracker, cassis, and even some old cedar wood. Structure was still in tact and young tasting. — 7 years ago

Pretty nice pinot, on the thicker side, reminds me of zinfandel. Dried dark cherry and almonds. Cherries linger in the aftertaste. — 8 years ago

Deep garnet colour. Dusky spicy fruit aromas. Savoury and spicy on the tongue definite strong tannins. Enjoyable but looking forward to cellaring this for a while. — 10 years ago

Smells a little like cotton candy and exhibits notes of cedar, clove, prune, cherry, red rose, eucalyptus with perceivable mint-traits. In another dimension this may be a cousin of Heitz's Martha's Vineyard. Awesome to have with bbq'd steak, garlic bread and knowing this is the only winery for this AVA ( just 20 miles south of where I got to imbibe this 400 case production of local goodness. ) — 9 years ago

Tasted blind, friend thought French, Sancerre- the elegance is, but has a slightly viscous body ( which for me is more Viognier, but what do I know about Marsanne? ). Quite delicious, & subtle. Lemon grass, our Aussie adventures continue. About 20$. Good value. — 6 years ago

Well I dunno about previous years but wow the 2016 is great. Massive hit of strawberry upfront but enough backbone that I like it more than some of the Nouveau's I've had. So good in the warm weather! — 9 years ago

Very akin to the warm santa inez sunshine - pleasant and bright on the pallet, but somewhat lacking depth and complexity. Cherry and tobacco — 9 years ago

Should have aged this wine for a decade. Forest and ocean mist, limestone quality to the tannin structure. Excellent wine. — 10 years ago
