SummitVine Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Outstanding Cab. Shows why 08 Cali cab is way more cellar worthy than 07. Blackberry, cassis, blueberry tootsie roll, if there is such a thing. Asian spice, cinnamon, nutmeg notes. Fine grained with excellent grip. Wish I had more — 10 years ago

St. Ralph The Liar White Cottage Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Busted this bottle out a while back! Probably in my top 5 wines I have had in recent years. St. Ralph The Liar is a great name too! Dark Fruit for days!!! This was a great 2007 Howell Mountain! — 11 years ago

California Grenache 2010

Everything I like about Grenache in one bottle - floral nose, berry fruit, spice, subtle tannins and some acidity for balance. A tiny bit dryer and it would be perfect. Winemaker's comments: 1/3 from old vines at McDowell Vineyard in Mendocino, 2/3 from younger vines at Pierce Ranch in SW Monterey. — 12 years ago

If you enjoy heavy tannins (and aspirin), this one's for you!

Barbareño Santa Ynez Valley Syrah Petite Syrah 2011

Our second Viking Yurt wine. This Syrah blend was big and robust and exactly what you wanted to drink on a cold mountain in conjunction with short rib and dessert. I think with a few more years it could've developed some serious complexity.

Estate Howell Mountain Merlot 2008

This wine is killer. Everyone loves Napa Valley fruit... But Napa Mountain fruit?! Forget about it! Love the Howell mountain! The red fruit nose jumps out of the glass but then it shows its age mixing in spices: cocoa powder, cardamom, and tobacco. Delicious! — 10 years ago
