Unoaked Monterey Chardonnay 2015

Earthy, mineral and burnt peanuts nose. Hint of green herbal notes on the nose as well. Definitely a lot of peach on the front palate. Burnt, smoky flavours throughout, but the wine is unoaked. — 7 years ago

Reserve Saunders Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Yummy.. not a punch you in the mouth fruit forward but has the quality build of a higher end cab .
This 2005 held up very nicely .
Decanter a must to pour with out setiment. BUTTERY BlackBerry jam like , some vanilla and Caramel chocolate linger around smooth tannins and leathers.

Brewer-Clifton

Mount Carmel Pinot Noir 2005

Wow. Absolutely terrific offering from Brewer-Clifton. At 11 years, this has an incredible nose of spiced rhubarb, dried strawberries, and a sagebrush undertone that adds terrific complexity. Has the classic spice one picks up from the Melville Verna's pinot, but is much more subdued and integrated into the wine, adding to its complexity. Wonderfully balanced, this wine probably has several more years of life left but is drinking beautifully right now. Probably the best Brewer-Clifton I've had. — 9 years ago
