In my mind, the premiere expression of (value) CA Grenache. Tart, bright, enough vanilla and cracked pepper. Tuesday (Asian) Turkey burgers never tasted so good. Well played, Randall. — 12 years ago

Crisp and off-dry. A delicious blend of the three fruits which deliver a great balance. Subtle bubbles providing a little play for the tongue. — 9 years ago

The wine is a lovely and rich greenish gold, much the same as the LCB “normale,” but maybe a little more vibrant. Aromas are predictably savory - beeswax, lanolin, minerals, citrus - and flavors walk that same path. The tropical fruit hits hard, with that Roussanne nuttiness right behind. The earthy, almost soapy, note stays long after the sip while acidity holds a high threshold. You could spend $45 on a Chardonnay very easily, but this wine gives you something much more interesting for your investment. — 9 years ago

Old school California style field blend, with lots of ripe, wild dark berry fruit but none of the jamminess and oak to screw it up. Really delightful. — 10 years ago

Good egg! Lovely accompaniment to Tikka Masala. Savage rations, of course, but the wine lifts the meal to a nearly civilised point. @BonnyDoon Vineyard — 10 years ago

Fresh tarmac and cooked berry on the nose. Very focused grenache. This wine makes me aware of Monterey's potential. Very good but I'm not sure I'd pay $48 a bottle for it. — 9 years ago

Classic Northern Rhone style. Bright black fruit, violet, a hint of smoked meat and black pepper/olive. Mid weight, fresh acidity and well structured. Definitely a cut above standard Cali Syrah. Classic wine from a classic producer — 10 years ago
