Lovely mouth feel, nice finish and acidity, easy drinking — 4 years ago

Alban Vineyards

Alban Estate Vineyard Grenache 2008

Wow has this aged nicely. The fruits is settling down and the terror is really coming thru. The depth and complexity are quite beautiful. As to the 15%+ alcohol it is not noted on the nose or palate. Surprisingly no heat at all.

Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir 2014

Strawberry nose. Cooked strawberry in the glass. Low alcohol and classic California fruit. Fruit forward but well balanced with good acidity. A good one for a great price if you like this style. — 9 years ago

Pandora Edna Valley Grenache Syrah 2016

The baseline for Pandora is awesome, so we proceed from there. Wasn’t blown away by this vintage, but I suspect it’s just too young. Give it a couple of more years (or a multihour decant) and I’m sure it will start to sing. — 5 years ago

El Desafio de Jonata Santa Ynez Valley Red Blend 2008

Didn't have too much of it because I was already a few sheets to the wine but it was lovely nonetheless. That's what happens when you don't eat all day and do a tasting and a wine dinner! — 11 years ago

Wish I had more of these in my cellar. Drinking great w an impeccable balance of black fruit, savory and mildly spicy elements. Fully resolved texture, and vibrantly alive, this could take more time in cellar. — 6 years ago

Deep purple colors in the glass. Heavy cab with blueberry, vanilla, and tasting notes of earth. Very yummy cab and went perfectly with pot roast. — 6 years ago

Sine Qua Non

Mr. K The Noble Man Alban Vineyard Chardonnay 2002

Darker hues than I've ever seen from this bottling. Rather amber and dark. Marzipan, kettle corn, carmelized fruit. I enjoy tasting these but they always guarantee a hangover for me. — 9 years ago
