Charles still makes my favorite new world Malbec. Ten years old the better. But, the drink nicely young. Just lush, ruby, rich and elegant on the palate. Blackberries, black raspberries, glorious raspberries, dark cherries, some strawberries. Both light and dark colas/licorice. Dry brush, dark chocolate, rich dark soil, medium baking spices, caramel, some pepper, violets for days, great acidity and a very well balanced, polished finish that lasts minutes. — 10 months ago

What can I say I love anything Angela makes, and the new Tribute to Grace tasting room in Los Alamos is a gem. My Dad declared this was his favorite wine ever and my mom is from nearby Cucamonga, so let’s just say everyone was happy. For that reason, wine of our trip out west after not seeing the folks for 18 months. As always, just incredibly elegant Grenache, light on its feet, but not without its nuanced power — 3 years ago

Surprise of the night. Dead ringer for a Left Bank. Just wonderful, well balanced, nice mix of fruits and minerals, layers of complexity, a smooth finish that kept going and going... — 7 years ago

Couldn't hold out any longer, I've had this at least 7-10 days now,
Great cork for a 22 year old bottle, juice is great! No brown or bricking of the wine. Someone stored this properly.

In fairness to Ca Chardonnays, I’m not a fan of their Chardonnays. There are few I really enjoy. It’s round & lush on the palate. Bruised apple, pear, lemon, lime, some buttery notes, caramel, toast, dry, crushed, powdery limestone ( a fair amount) cheese cloth, cream, strong volcanics, yellow & white fresh flowers, good round acidity and round somewhat pleasant finish. — 10 months ago

Very effervescent; smells very perfumey; 100% Chardonnay; thin. Meh. I’d drink it but I wouldn’t seek it out.

Loire-style Malbec from WA state? Yes! Gorgeous and well-structured, we get berries and white pepper on this. Medium finish. Soft nose hinting at more of the same. Clean. Velvety. Fantastic with food. Gives us hope for WA wine. More of this, please. — 6 years ago

I hoped this would be better than the Liparita and it delivered, with grace. Generous, but well-integrated, use of oak that imparts some tasty caramel. The fruit is dark and rich, but savory. Some secondary cacao and meat offer complexity alongside a finish with moderate length. A decent ~$50 Napa Cab. — 7 years ago

Fantastic showing. Hazelnut, ginger, pineapple and toast, brilliant balance. Impeccable midpalate followed by a persistent finish with brioche, orange blossom and whipped cream with lemony notes. At its peak. — 2 years ago

Really ballsy and unique wine. Today’s tasting in Yountville will go down as one of my favorites of all time. First I’d ever heard of this grape, grown in Paso. Black fruit covered in licorice. If you go (and I’d highly recommend it), go for the cheese pairing it’s well worth it. — 6 years ago

Dark ruby red. Black cherry, plum, licorice, and vanilla on the nose with more subtle notes of rose petals and earth. Dense, brooding dark fruit on the palate with balanced acidity and good length. Aged 10 months in 70% new French oak before bottling. — 7 years ago
