Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2013

9.5

Light golden color. Probably the most complex nose of any white wine I've ever had. I get meyer lemon, some veggies, metallic elements, and about 10 other things I'm not good enough to pin down. Wine is crisp and balanced with just the amount of tartness I enjoy. Above average finish. This is a wine that is not meant to be figured out but to be enjoyed for its multiple dimensions. Well done Steve! — 6 years ago

Steve, not quite all that as you make it sound like Coche Corton Charlie but great effort. Like the secondary flavors from the extra fermentation which adds a texture and nuance and that uniqueness is what you should seek. — 8 years ago

This 2013 was tried with Steve Klein and owner of DAOU ! A Awesome experience! Wine was bursting with blackberry and blueberry flavors. Soft tannins yes, but very approachable. Super jammy too. 2013 Reserve at its very Best! CB 93 — 8 years ago

Reynolds Family Winery

Persistence Napa Valley Red Blend 2012

A very nice Bordeaux blend from Steve Reynolds. Excellent notes of rose petals, cinnamon and earthiness. On the palate I pick up dark and red fruit, spice and rosemary. Very smooth tannins wrapped around a hint of acidity that makes for a very nice mouthfeel and finish. One of our favorite wineries in Napa. @ — 8 years ago

Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Steve Eisenhauer made great wines from this site - clear and varietally correct, never too ripe, with a medium body, and lovely subtle elements of clove/band-aid Brett and tobacco that enhanced the classic flavors of black currant. — 7 years ago

Fifteen Meritage Red Blend 2010

Wonderful nose of dark fruit, oak and cinnamon. Fantastic tastes of blueberries, blackberries, cassis, baking spices and oak. A bold wine with solid tannins that are still working to put on silk gloves. This is a blend of grapes from all 15 AVA's in Napa back in 2010. Probably has another decade or more in terms of optimal bottle life. Steve Reynold's at his best. — 7 years ago
