Neighborhood wine store. Front end expected and typical, back end was a pleasant twist of under ripe white fruit with nice complexity. — 6 years ago
Fantastic single-vineyard albariño! Floral aromatics, clean yet weighty palate balanced perfectly with a saline backbone. Need to find more! — 7 years ago
Soft tannins with round mouth feel. Nose reminds me of an old world wine. Like it. 2012 bottle 1212 — 8 years ago
Yep, you want to get this. — 9 years ago
A pure & wild expression of #albarino - reminiscent of 1er Cru Chablis or a fine Muscadet. Very cool, if a little wine-nerdy. Admittedly I am a fiend for Albariño... — 9 years ago
Lush and balanced. Delightful notes of raspberry and light herbal flavors. Paired well with a lamb/pork/beef meatball in ragu sauce. — 10 years ago
Wow. QPR extremely high. Bright. What a great lead to any Cali Pinot. — 10 years ago
Cheap and unbelievably good ! — 11 years ago
Crisp nose of unripe pear, honey and lime on the nose. Baked honey crisp apple, white flower, slight petrol on the palate. Lovely minerality and sense of terroir in this wine. — 5 years ago
Mmmmm this is a porch pounder! Light lemon/lime with nice mineral and salt. I would call it “round” not crisp. Delish.

I can always count on Frank Leal's Meritage "Carnaval"...to go with Italian from Gino's in Salinas! Yum! — 11 years ago
Oh snap! My first time trying one of the 2017 Mataro’s from Sandlands and this San Benito County is fantastic! Beautiful, pure, fresh plums and other dark cherry with black pepper and other spices. It has an almost ferrous characteristic about it that I find quite charming. Lots of tannin and acid so let this be a note to those who are holding these in their cellar: just wait. This should be killer by 2022 but it’s already pretty exciting to drink. — 6 years ago

2013, Benito Santos, Igrexario De Saiar, Albarino. I really like Benito Santos wines. Golden yellow: tart apples, citrus, minerality, salinity. Everything that I want with pan seared white fish. — 9 years ago
Was super pleased. Good fruit; good structure and good value for the price point. Will def drink again this winter. — 9 years ago
The greatest Cabernet you can never buy. Side by side up against GAJA, it held its own — 10 years ago
