A bit of stink that blows off, then surprisingly fresh fruit. Clean dark berries and great purity. Long and settled. Good balance — 7 years ago

The nose on this gives off an impression of zinfandel, jammy and peppery red and black fruits dominate. The palate compares abd goes well with the charred mid-rare filet I had. I say 8.9 because it's a damn good value for a Paso cab, or really any cab for that manner. — 10 years ago

Bold Syrah, paired well with the NY steak we had at the HPII restaurant and the bone in prime rib. Killer! — 11 years ago

Very refined and Burgundian, definitely one of the more medium bodied Cali pinots I've encountered but no less for it. — 8 years ago

'01, kind of shocking grocery store find. Mocha, licorice, spice and a little bbq smoke. Some black and blueberry hanging in there. Very good. What was it like in '10? — 9 years ago

Insane fruit forward Jamminess, but super tight until about an hour in. Let it sit, and it's a treat for an aged marbled steak. Delicious for the price at Whole Foods $19.99 — 9 years ago

The Fiddlestix Vineyard is located at mile marker 7.28 on Santa Rosa Road in Lompoc, California, which is situated in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. In the mid-90's Kathy Joseph of Fiddlehead Cellars, along with the viticultural icon Taz Steinhauer, acquired the 133-acre, former flower farm, across Santa Rosa Road from the Sanford & Benedict Vineyard, and in 1998 they planted 100 acres of Pinot Noir. Aside from the small amount earmarked for Fiddlehead's own production, much of the vineyard is contracted to other producers, including Ampelos, Ancien, Anglim, Arcadian, Bonaccorsi, Dragonette, Jonata, Ken Brown, Hartley-Ostini Hitching Post, Gainey, Ortman, Pali, Paul Lato, Prodigal, RN Estate, Rusack, Summerland, Tyler, Vogelzang, Wedell , and TAZ, not to mention Etude.

Opens with an austere earth note in a tone reminiscent of Barbaresco, and in the words of Miles Raymond, it's "tighter than a nun's ass." 45 minutes later, though, and it's singing and juicy. Black cherry, but not overripe, leads this medium bodied, pungent thinker, while a virtual greenhouse of floral shades help twist and shape its direction. Secondary dusty earth and walnut skin reveal the source of its austerity. True to its terroir, there's a tertiary layer of spice and rocks that provides the depth needed to go from good to great. — 8 years ago

With friends having wonderful conversation and drinking a nice Pinot from the Hitching Post Santa Rita Hills. Good strawberry, cherry, a nice smooth mouth feel, vanilla, and a balanced all around feel. Very good drinking. — 10 years ago
