Nice slight fizz. Bright fruit. Medium body. Easy drinking. — 7 years ago
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
Always awesome. Montrachet with less structure and acid — 8 years ago
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

Santa Barbara county Pinot goodness! — 12 years ago
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
Silkier, spicier than the Santa Barbara. — 6 years ago
Really digging these Santa Barbara Chardonnays...I got underripe melon, pineapple, honeysuckle and white flowers...maybe white peper...med/+ butta.. mid + oak..med- alc/med+ acid...ate with shrimps. Pretty good, but would go with another grow site(ones that had more overripe melon) — 7 years ago

Drinkable AF. — 8 years ago
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
Delicious! Drank at Zanny's birthday festivities — 10 years ago
Sticks and stones and red fruit. I don't know what a Sablonnette is, but I know it makes sick wine. Truly love this producer. — 12 years ago
