Stellar. Earthy, elegant, and layered. Stewed strawberries and dried cherries with a little peat. A special bottling made for Michael Mina. It’s a shame there isn’t more of it. — 7 years ago

Illahe

Bon Sauvage Pinot Noir 2014

Purple red in color, dense. Blueberry blackberry minty smoke and wood notes in nose. Berry cherry smoke notes in mouth (later morphing almost into cola) with some tongue coating astringency in finish. Strawberry and blackberry aftertaste. A little aging might polish the few minor edges remaining in the wine — 8 years ago

Historic Vineyards Collection Los Alamos Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015

ABC made Pinot in Santa Barbara for 30 years, still hand picks & sorts heavily in the vineyard, open top fermenters allowing “punch down” by hand. Top Pinot’s never pumped, only moved by gravity & age in new French Oak. ABC Pinot is basically same since 1982. Lively, big blue fruit aromas & sweet spice, aged for 2 years French oak, 25% new. Palate sweet dark berry fruits, cacao & cola notes, nice mouthfeel. Soft tannins, easy drinking now, lingering ending with a fruit character. Nice! Tasting Sample! — 6 years ago

Santa Barbara Historic Vineyards Collection Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Chardonnay

Peppermint, peaches, & nectarines. Nice nose. Nice complex fruits on the palate, peaches, minerals, slight creaminess to give the wine some depth. Some nectarines, citrus & creaminess round out the finish. Pleasing stuff. Noticeable acid and full body. — 8 years ago
