Cucamonga Vineyard

Raj Parr Wines

Scythians Palomino

Really salty and acidic in the best way, something different but great! Medium bodied with some heft on the mouthfeel, but a really zesty and briny finish — 3 months ago

A Tribute to Grace Wines

Hofer Vineyard Grenache 2022

Pretty great. I feel like it could use more time in bottle. A couple hours of air and it was cherries, dust, strawberries, white pepper, a hint of jalapeño, maybe red apple with baking spice. So lovely. — 6 months ago

Scar of the Sea

Lopez Vineyard Palomino 2022

Really pretty and complicated bottle. A bit orange, definitely some skin contact. The aromas lean heavily towards dried fruit in the vein of apricot, mango, and pineapple. Some salted almonds and ginger. — a year ago

Scar of the Sea

Lopez Vineyard Zinfandel 2023

Wait! Could this be better than broc vine starr zin! I need a blind tasting stat! Raspberries, earth, cherry, a bit of pine forest, some dust, maybe pepper, plums for sure, but then roses and more flowers. Lingers for a minute on palate. Outstanding. I wish there were more of these zins available. — 8 months ago

@Tom Casagrande you definitely need to. Just bought a few more bottles. Interested to see how I like them after initial excitement.

Revolution Cucamonga Valley Zinfandel Palomino 2022

When I hear "California zinfandel" I rightfully want to run away but what Raj Parr is doing to revive LA viticulture is definitely worth paying attention to. The palomino's salty acidity cuts through the zinfandel sweetness for a fresh and balanced white. — 5 months ago

Natural style, wild. Kirsch Cassis fruit reminds me of Mission. Moderate acidity — 2 years ago

Hermann York Wine

A Lone Wolf Bob Munoa Ranch 2020

Opened and brought to a Charity dinner. So many wines open, so this was hardly touched. Brought home and enjoyed over nine (yes 9) days. Made as a Rosé, this wine has some weight to it. Wonderful first effort from the Hermann York team, who are making excellent wines from SoCal old vine vineyards in Antelope Valley, Rancho Cucamonga and others. This one is from a 120 year old own-rooted vineyard on the Pechanga Reservation near Temecula, planted 60 years prior to the current commercial vineyards in the area. Mission, Grenache and probably some hybrids, as the vineyard had been abandoned for about 60 years. This had plenty of CO2 to keep it alive, with a nice Champagne pop even on day 8. A good group of guys making fun and interesting wines! — 2 years ago
