Satsum Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay 2014

So interesting as this evolved in the glass. Texture and richness. Citrus pith like with fresh avidity and slight tannin. Funky as can be — 10 years ago

Estate Grown Portola Springs Vineyard Chardonnay 2012

Don't know another Cali chard that has the degree of Burgundian-ness that this guy has. Oak is present but just enough for texture and complexity. Mineral and bright bright fruits....oh and acid. A ton of stuff you don't find in Napa/Carneros. Fuckin great wine! !! — 10 years ago

Vallerga Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

Skyline Central Coast Riesling 2011

Delicious Riesling, best I've had so far from the Central Coast. Floral nose and typical fruit. Lively acidity. Could achieve greatness if it were even more dry. — 12 years ago

Rosalee Santa Cruz Mountains Rosé Blend 2015

Yes. This is a white Zinfandel. No. It is not sweet. But still, it made me want to go grab my guitar and sit out on my back deck and play some John Prine songs. Either that or fill up the old bath tub out on the lawn and sit butt naked in some cool water on a hot day while slamming the whole bottle to my head. But seriously... we had this with Salmon and Yellowtail sashimi and it was perfect. This is a fantastic food wine and an even better porch pounder. — 10 years ago

8.9

Tasting this alongside Thomas Fogarty Santa Cruz Mountain Chardonnay 2013 to test the importance of context. It turns out that tasting White Burgundy IN Burgundy is pretty cool. This Burg is a nice wine, but it's probably not gonna bring you to tears. Generously sulfured, but after about 20 minutes it's not noticeable. Pretty serious little wine. — 10 years ago

Russian River Valley Sangiovese 1999

Really good, and not going anywhere. Developed tobacco/cedar/plum/tannery/bing cherry goodness with no lack of tannin left. California needs more Sangiovese and it needs it done well. — 11 years ago

Single Vineyard Series Camel Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

Mountain fruit. Light bright cherry turning to baked. The minerality in the finish is light but long. So happy right now, 2 years in the wine fridge and time did this beautiful creation justice. — 10 years ago

9.0

Loved this wine, well worth the wait in my cellar since 2009. The wine is still young and has at least a few more years, yet it is now smooth, balanced, round and pleasurable. Color is deep black, no signs of age, nose is sexy and smooth like velvet, with licorice, violets, black currents, light mint and sweet chocolate, body is full with round caressing tannins, lovely mild balancing acidity and a long delicious finish. A true pleasure. My first from this winery, not my last! My score 90, drink to 2018 — 10 years ago

Carneros Pinot Noir 1987

Who knew Carneros Pinot could be this good? Tense, with fresh herbal aromatics and lightness, but with plenty of that musky, slightly decay-like aroma of aged red wine. It dances across the palate with more of a waltz than a tango. — 11 years ago
