Deep ruby color. Aromas of blackberries, cardamon and dried lavender. Black and blue fruit- the way a petit sirah should be! — 3 years ago

This Merlot-heavy blend (5% Cabernet Sauvignon) has a generous nose of smoke and dark fruit. The palate is rich with black cherry, mocha, vanilla and floral notes. Tannins are firm enough, but the sipping is still easy. It’s a really good, single-vineyard Merlot that deserves a hot ribeye.

Not a big fan of white wine. This 2005 one is really special one. The color, clarity, nose and body is top quality. — 6 years ago

Classically styled CA Chardonnay. Lots of butter and not too much oak but a fair amount. Green apple, lime, lemon, some butterscotch, high acid and a nice rounded finish. — 6 years ago

This yellow-gold wine rings the “old-style Cali” bell in all the right ways. A nose of apricots, mangoes and apples is helped along with the smell of buttered popcorn. Oak treats the palate as well, draping over the tropical fruit like a sunshade. The acidity is zesty, yet the mouthfeel tends toward creaminess due to the wine sitting on the lees for five months. The oak is a definite part of the wine, but the effect is softened enough so that it's a pleasure, not a pain. — 5 years ago
