My 2nd pick of the month from the Santa Cruz Mountain Region. Delicious layers of fruit mixed with coffee, chocolate tones , and a blackberry finish. These wines should be fantastic in 4-7 yrs. laying them down ( but had to taste) hee hee. — 8 years ago

Wow, brand new bottling and a stunning one at that. Santa Cruz Mountains, bald mountain vineyard that is known for minerality and complexity, and this does not disappoint. The nose is rich with a werther's original-like caramel note as well as some peach skin.. lovely aromatics all around. The palate is firm and rich, but retains some zingy acidity, loads of cream, and a lingering mineral-driven finish.. impressive bottle - a standout for $25. — 8 years ago

Aged Cab flight- replacement for the flawed 1979. Fill into the neck, although the cork was pretty fragile. Still dark and good life in it. The Gemello and Woodside were nice historical references for Santa Clara Valley and northern Santa Cruz Mountain AVA wines. — 5 years ago

Should have aged this wine for a decade. Forest and ocean mist, limestone quality to the tannin structure. Excellent wine. — 8 years ago

This would fool any wine professional in a blind tasting into thinking it was from Burgundy. Beautiful balance of earth and fruit, low alcohol, beyond food-friendly. These guys at Arnot Roberts can do justice to just about any grape varietal they touch. And with amazing Santa Cruz Mountain fruit like the Peter Martin Ray Vineyard has a long history of producing, it's a perfect recipe for magic in the bottle. Oh yeah, 2012 was a pretty decent vintage as well. — 8 years ago

Waaaay too young, but a treat to check out nonetheless. Loud, brawny tannins out of the bottle; mellowed into pure mountain fruits, anise, and an underlying earthiness. — 8 years ago
