So this is Chateau Margene's "prestige cuvee" and it spent 3 years in new French oak, half on the lees. This is just too oaky, but good for the style. I'm not a fan of Paso Cab generally, but this could attract fans of Silver Oak if it weren't so much more expensive. — 10 years ago

A bit fruity, thin, not overly tart. Should appeal to pinot noir fans. 2012 seems to be a solid year for Nebbiolo — 11 years ago

Very pleasant boutique bottling from a superior vintage featuring a texture of black pepper, black tea, savory and dark cherry. Purchased for low $20s, this producer does small productions beside selling fruits to leading Mendocino producers. Low level of tannin would make this a an easy choice for by-the-glass and for many Pinot fans — 12 years ago

From our friends at Hobo Wine Co, they sourced fruit from the area to end all areas of Zinfandel: Rockpile. Great for TPB fans hanging with their homies. Ripe but not overly, structured but not face-rippingly tannic. — 10 years ago
