Was apprehensive at first as last time I had this (a year ago with Big Wave Dave) it was the cliche Oz Shiraz fruit bomb with high alcohol bordering on over extraction. On the second outing a lot more complex. Still classic cassis fruit and choc/tobacco overtones but not over the top and with some nice acidity still. Less spice than typical. Nice underlying tannin backbone. Lovely mouthfeel and medium body and finish. A little time has done its work nicely. — 9 years ago

Refreshing clean finish from the Central Coast. Faint pear and burnt caramel with a slight citrus overtone. Delightful with grilled fish or chicken. Dave Mathews is affiliated with the winery. Reasonably priced -
go buy a bottle and give it a try - you'll end up buying more... — 10 years ago

Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir. Deep ruby color with bright red fruit and beautiful acid indicative of a cool climate Pinot. Great structure with notes of winter spices, coffee and chocolate. Produced by two of nicest guys I have have ever met, Rich Aurillas and Dave Roberts - both former baseball players and all around good guys. Only 150 cases produced. — 10 years ago
