A delicious blend that warms you up on a cool night. Great to curl up w a good book to. Bought in Santa Barbara at the Grassini wine tasting room. — 9 years ago
I had this at Kali in Los Angeles, where sommelier Drew Langley watches over an immaculately curated wine list. Does "Summer of Riesling" do it for you? It does for me, especially when they are such good examples. My wife had a Kabinett, but I had this Vandenberg example from Santa Barbara County. They listed it as "dry and medium bodied," which is good advice for a Riesling. This one, though, has a nice touch of petrol - I mean why order Riesling unless it has that? - along with extreme minerality and a muted citrus note. Paired it with the Niçoise salad to great effect. Also a hit with the wife's roast pork, Pennsylvania native that she is. — 9 years ago
Elegant! We are loving the quality you can taste coming from Grassini wines. This Sauvignon Blanc is floral with a nice full bodied and round finish that lingers with flavor. — 10 years ago

Notes of berry — 10 years ago
Day 1: Very pure bright strawberry and cherry. Super fresh and weightless.
Day 2: Damp earth, smoke, and spice....same weightlessness.
Two wines for the price of one. — 11 years ago
This wine thinks it is a dairy product - much more oak than we usually like (but that is why we tried the "long aged" - to try something different). Beautifully executed. — 11 years ago
One of our favorites! Oak, pine, rich and aromatic. Smooth oakey finish but not too dry. Mild dark berry sweetness. — 13 years ago

Cool Grenache! Looks red/orange-brown in the glass and drinks with lots of acid and restrained cran fruit. Not boring like many Grenache - almost like a California frappato. D&m before camp trip — 9 years ago
