This 2013 blew our collective minds! Old vines, unique terroir of the Dundee Hills AVA. Perfect balance with vibrancy; earth, fruit, and tannin come together and honor the great legacy of a master sorely missed, rest her soul, Patty Greene! Now this is tremendous example of the heights an Oregon Pinot can reach!! — 6 years ago
As someone who loves the minerality of a good Riesling, this was a very interesting red for me. Grown in the clay dunes between Sintra and the coast, this presents a soft mineral impression on the palette, but is still remarkably smoothe. A wonderful pairing with Thanksgiving dinner. — 6 years ago
From the Kick On Ranch vineyard in Los Alamos in Santa Barbara County (a proposed AVA between Santa Maria Valley and Santa Ynez Valley). Apparently this vineyard is located ten miles east of the Pacific Ocean and constant winds have created a unique series of sand dunes in which these Riesling vines are planted. Brilliant pale yellow. Intensely mineral Riesling nose, with a hint of flowers, much like a Saar Riesling. Delicate and crunchy with impressive purity of fruit and high mouth-watering acidity. Long finish. Low alcohol 10,21%. In a blind tasting would have taken this for German. Impressive. — 8 years ago
100% Garnacha Blanca (white Grenache) from 60+ years-old vines rooted in “panal” soils (fossilized sand dunes). Barrel fermented and aged for 8 months in 500 liters French oak barrels. Elegant and complex with aromas of white fruit, apricot, orange rind, almonds and oak. Full-bodied. Peach. Mineral, somewhat saline. Long finish — 5 years ago
History goes back to the 17th century, one of the oldest chateau’s in the appellation, dating back to the 1600’s, when it was built by the Marquis de mons de Dunes. Mostly Merlot with intense berry fruit aromas and hot pepper spice. On the palate blackberry and blueberry fruit, almost jammy with oaky spice notes. Lingering with tight tannins ending a bit hot with pepper character and mineral tones. Good but needs more time. — 7 years ago

Yum. Close your eyes and be transported to a cozy English country pub. Perfect with a Ploughman’s or a Steak and Ale pie. This bottled version is so much better than the nitro version which used to available. — 5 years ago
