A sometimes forgotten about winery that rocks. — 11 years ago
Initially tight on the nose and coming across as overly tart/acidic on the palate. Two hours in the decanter do wonders for it, though. The cranberry notes evolve into fresh cherry and the acidity comes into terrific balance with the other elements. A restrained, graceful CA grenache. — 12 years ago

Leo Steen is doing wonders with California Chenin Blanc. I imagine this will do better with a little more time in the cellar. Succulent white flowers, minerals, lemon zest and green apple glide down with enough acidity to pair this well with a number of dishes. — 11 years ago

Coravin treatment 4 months ago, opened bottle last night with about 1/3 left. Beautiful, lush layered black fruit buried in a forgotten laundry hamper. — 13 years ago
Simply incredible. Perfect balance in flavor and bubbles, it envelops your mouth in its wonders. Must try, must buy again. — 11 years ago
Apologetically I have forgotten all the lovely details about this wine, but I remember it being fantastic and worth the higher price and allocation tactics. Happily am hanging on to many Latos from this vintage and am so excited about it 👍🏼 obviously inspired by good burgundy...and manages to be very natural, not much dress up is being played here that's for sure. Happily puzzled and surprised. 👊🏼 — 11 years ago
