Was hoping to like this but it was a solid if unmemorable CA Cab. Nothing much to say which is all I have to say…. — 3 years ago

Retail notes,

There’s a sweet-spot for domestic Sauvignon Blanc found in a special part of Bennett Valley that experiences a strong maritime influence as it flows through the Petaluma Gap to Sonoma Mountain. Within that funnel of cooling coastal air, the Dry Stack Vineyard is in a prime location at 550 feet elevation at the base of Mt. Taylor. I’m continually drawn to Sauvignon Blanc from Dry Stack and the vineyard produces fruit with detailed notes of fresh guava, rocky minerals, ripe tangerine and mineral infused citrus. You might be familiar with Russell Bevan’s version from Dry Stack, and Grey Stack has been a pillar on our tasting list in Yountville.

With Grey Stack, everything begins in the Vineyard with exceptional quality fruit, but from there, the wine is given a voice by winemaker Patrick Sullivan, whose experience includes making wine at Peter Michael, Paul Hobbs, Lewis Cellars and Rudd. This is absolutely one of the finest examples of California Sauvignon Blanc with its superior focus and incredibly vivid, distinctive flavors. If you love Sauvignon Blanc, or better yet, even if you don’t… Try this one and you’ll probably never look back. — 4 years ago

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Inky in color with a short purple rim.

Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and elegant, with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

Showing blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, vanilla, spices, chocolates, light tobacco, peppercorn, light earth, graphite and herbs.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This Cabernet Franc from Yakima Valley is already drinking very nicely. Rich and fruit forward. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.

This 6 year old is good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

A good sipping wine, and will pair nicely with BBQ Meats too.

14.1% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

This is a beautiful Carménère, all earthy and full of savory minerality. The blackberry and black plum aromas creep through the smell of that dirt with tar, forest floor and tobacco all over them. A hint of vanilla sweetens the sniff a bit. On the palate, the dark fruit is draped in sweet oak spice, and you’ll find a bucketful of tannins until the glass has been sitting for awhile. This is a steak wine, intended for a big, juicy piece of beef. — 5 years ago

Still too early to the party. Second time at this, still needs a few years. Oh has it changed in a year though. It’s massive. Deep nose of fruit, with silky tannins and deep black fruit on the palate. Olive and charcuterie. Round out this incredible expression of Syrah. Time will be kind but it’s limited — 5 years ago

Needs a lot of time to open. Super tight at the open. Give it some time and flavors are abundant. Deep dark fruit and finish that goes on for ever. — 7 years ago
