Found this in a farm shop not far from Lodi: I love stumbling upon unexpected bottles like this. 100% Petite Sirah, upfront fruits, with substantial oak and tannins. High quality, ageworthy, and California at its least commercial and predictable best. — 10 years ago
Tried 2 different vintages in a row, last night after a long day of clean up from water heater bursting and flood. Sunday night 2012 Roar Chard reminded me of Kistler style of Chard, in fined unfiltered, full body great fruit wonderfully balanced.. Like Kistler sentiment at bottom. Now tonight with trash half way down the street the 2011 Roar Sierra Mar Vineyard is rich as Chards get. Great fruit with nice mouth feel no sentiment , refreshing tropical fruits with just a touch of oak.. Boy is this good!! Having aged this a whole 1 year really gives this rich chard backbone and Grace!! Delicious!! Thank Everyone on Roar Vineyards for this Awesome Chard.. Charlie Beatty WineWorks Marlton — 11 years ago
Maybe too fruit forward for some hardcore Old World wine drinkers, but I'm a sucker for a bold CDP. This one is drinking perfectly right now - just lush notes of blackberry and currants with nice woody herbs on the back end. I could down 5 bottles in a row. 94 pts. — 11 years ago
A taste from a bottle that my regulars source from their row of grapes in Napa made by Bill Harlin (wine maker). Tannins for days. Dark Cherry — 11 years ago
