Devil's Gulch Vineyard Pinot Noir

Lots of plum and boysenberry on the nose. The same tastes come thru on the palate with some subtle baking spices. A long elegant finish. — 9 years ago

Calistoga Cabernet Franc 2013

This is not your Frenchman's cab franc. Super ripe dark berries, tons of booze, intensely concentrated flavor, dusty tannins, a dash of sweet spice. Long finish of ripe, concentrated fruit, but boy that booze hits the nostrils and stays there. Needs decanting. Quite a payoff once it airs out though. — 9 years ago

Hallcrest Vineyards

Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon 1964

Gary Westby
9.8

While the winery is still there, this amphitheater vineyard site is long gone. It made some of the lightest, leanest Cabernet that this sunny state has ever produced. Although at times this wine smelled like a fall leaf pile, it had length and focus in the league of great Champagne. The last glass had revitalized currant fruit and top class texture without any hint of heaviness. A great experience and important piece of California history. Bear Gulch greatness! — 11 years ago

Legan Vineyard Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir 2012

Vineyard is south of trout gulch-1600 feet-planted in 79 and dry farmed-picked at 22-23-100% whole cluster-little stemminess and green note on nose-not on palate-great acid and good ripeness but towards tart fruit side — 12 years ago

Kutch Wines

Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2015

Delectable Wine
9.4

Kutch's 2015 Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast) is a very pretty wine that straddles the line between the more reductive style of the 2014 and lusher expression found in the 2016. Lemon peel, white flowers, chalk, mint and white pepper give the 2015 brightness, aromatic lift and tension. Insistent saline notes punctuate the driving finish. Most of the fruit is from Bohan, although about 10% of the grapes came from Trout Gulch, in the Santa Cruz Mountains. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, April 2018) — 7 years ago

Cc2 Hilltops Shiraz 2014

Veeerry friendly Shiraz at this price. Cherry up front, red apple tobacco, good structure and a frenchman's even hand taming those tannins. — 8 years ago

Couloir Wines

Chileno Valley Vineyard Pinot Noir

Outstanding effort from John Grant, interpreting the hard scrabble Pinot meticulously farmed by Devil's Gulch Mark Pasternak. Notes of sandalwood and cranberries set the tone for this agile and rewarding Pinot Noir. — 9 years ago

San Lucas La Grande Plage Diurne Grenache Blanc 2011

Exciting white from San Lucas. Plenty of fruit courtesy of the Grenache blanc, yet light enough with crisp acidity. No oak or butter. A bit of a rarity, so had to stock up. — 11 years ago

At eight years, five and a half years after the initial review: On the downslope now, time to drink up. Still nice, fruit and acid have stuck around.
