Marvelous floral nose, very well balanced. Top notch Pinot — 8 years ago

Bien Nacido Vineyard Viognier 2014

Has to be in the conversation of the top Cali Vio's. Unctuous tropical fruit and flowers with the right dollop of acidity. Ever so slightly off-dry. Outstanding with chicken in Thai peanut sauce. — 9 years ago

I’m not thrilled that you gave hs a higher score than the true believer. Typo? However, my team and I did grow the grapes for this wine, so I guess I would rather lose to my friend, Mr. From than someone else. I humbly concede.

Bonaccorsi

Bien Nacido Vineyard Syrah 2007

Complexity over 2 days. Initially more a fruit bomb (think Aussie Shiraz). Day 2 brought smokey meat and a Côte-Rotie clone! Super interesting — 11 years ago
