This wine’s bouquet brings to the fore memories of the sea. Once I take a sip, I picture a tapas restaurant with mahogany paneling, ambience lighting, and linen tablecloths.

At first taste, well-balanced. Perfect rich and tart berry flavors with a hint of natural vanilla and oak. Not too tannic and light & bouncy on the tongue. For me, I would love this with whitefish ceviche, tacos, and/or pasta.

Versatile and affordable.

Reminds me of a platitude I live by in terms of wine (and life), “If it tastes good, drink it.” I can still hear Larry, the spectacled, fourth generational New Yorker yell from behind the counter, bottles stacked on cardboard boxes, of his boutique downtown wine shop on Maiden Lane.

A delicious rose that didn't stand a chance on the patio overlooking downtown Ojai on a warm day. More shall perish this weekend. — 8 years ago

Santa Claud sings jazz to you in a small bar in Normandy, and you're cold but ruddy. Is this stand up or true mirth? It's the holiday you imagine in a bar near Skid Row in Downtown LA when you take a sip of this and are transported by a northern bite to your tongue. Irony or sincerity--it's so fresh but so sweet! I could go for more fizz, but one only feels permitted to request such things when engulfed by luxury — 9 years ago

Second red wine sampled at the Jean Edwards Cellars tasting room in downtown Napa. Deep and dark ruby red. Nose has some raspberries, dark cocoa, creme de cassis and some leather. Slight furriness with moderate acidity (6.5/10) and backed with good acidity. Dark cocoa, cassis and black cherries in the moderate plus body. Long finish with some earthy notes. Definitely a lot better on PNP. Drink till 2026. 90+. Blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot. 21 months in 60% new French oak and 110 cases produced. — 9 years ago

Brilliant purple red in color. Red raspberry gummies, floral and mango notes in nose. Gamay like flavors - tutti frutti, cherry and butter - but actually a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Petit Sirah. Light, fruit forward.

Mid level Cab from the Bounty Hunter in downtown Napa. Complexity all around. Nose is simmering raspberry jam, cinnamon, and coffee. Layered palate with semi-tart red jammy fruit, chocolate, earth, and leather. Massively tannic finish. Well worth the release price. If you haven't been, it's a great place to kick off or finish a day in Napa. Their BBQ is some of the best around. — 9 years ago
