2022 vintage. This was rocking. Medium body. Off the charts nose. Gorgeous dialogue between the levels of concentration and subtleties. 13.0% ABV and 322 cases made. A fave Syrah/Pinot producer from the Santa Ynez Valley/Santa Barbara area and always look forward to their yearly interpretations of the lands. 4.3.24. — a year ago

@Delectable Wine this is the August Kessler Rüdesheimer Berg Rooseneck Beerenauslese Riesling. Caramel in color, a little funky on the nose and not revealing of the beauty to come. On the palate, the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. . Notes or ripe apricot that linger.  — 7 months ago
An enjoyable Pinot Noir. Attractive aromas, starts with slight acidity and a touch of cinnamon and finishes clean. — 2 years ago

2018 vintage. Winemaker Matt Brady tames the hedonism of the Santa Rita Hills (only for a spell, don’t fret) and adds a little body, earth and spicefest to this offering. Doesn’t hurt that the juice is from 100% Pommard (muscular/hevvy Pinot) clone. Ruffly, 150 cases made. Find you do, acquire you must. — 3 years ago

10% new oak
Nose: plummy dusty.
Palate: darker fruit. More pommard-like. But bright. Very good balance. Hint of balancing bitterness. Very lithe
