Not many CA semillons floating around. Legendary vineyard! Preserved lemon, nuts, honeysuckle, honey with a bit of spice, hint of vanilla, good funk, great acidity. I keep wanting more. Amazing with point Reyes pierce point cheese. — 3 years ago

41% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Syrah, 7% Petit Verdot, 1% Sauvignon Blanc.

Sheet of sediment in bottle, stood upright 24 hours, before decant. Filtered into decanter. Nicely aged. Strong bottle notes in decant. I recommend 3 hr. Decant. 4 hours onward, fruit notes waned.

In the tasting notes, Marijuana resin is noted. Yes, there is a taste of hash or cannabis resin in the dark notes of the wine. Pleasant, well integrated, savory, in the know.

Delicious, mature beauty. Dark bottle notes, with still bright cherry note. Cherry notes notable for estate, beautiful energy in wines.

Enjoy now.

Thank you for being present. — 4 years ago

50% Mourvedre, 25% Syrah, 25% Grenache, biodynamic, hand picked fruit. (Rating 9.2-9.3)

Thank you for being present then, to be my present now. Great Job!

Amazing 14 year old GSM from California. Cherry notes are surprisingly fresh and vibrant, well balanced (acid/tannin) delicious dark notes in the background (leather, chocolate, tannin). Fruity without being sweet. “With 0.4% residual sugar — not so much to make it even remotely sweet or turn it into a stereotype of a California fruit bomb, but enough to render it tender” - Wicker Parker - 11.01.2010 http://www.renaissancewinery.com/scripts/winepg.cfm/_/8/2006/Mediterranean-Red/

Next to the Claret blend from the same year this seemed slightly one dimensional but on its own terms the easygoing mature dark fruit and hint of leather and mocha was exceptional with an epic prime rib, still some good structure for a merlot this old — 6 years ago

Utterly tasty for a warm day, if about as complex as lemonade and about as much to do with wine as lemonade. — 8 years ago
