The 2017 Chardonnay is soft, supple and absolutely delicious. Light tropical notes, lemon confit, white flowers and bright acids give the 2017 striking nuance as well as character. The Foxglove Chardonnay is built on a core of fruit from Los Alamos, with a touch of fruit from Paso Robles, vinified and aged in steel, with no malolactic fermentation. Best of all, it is a stunning value. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2019) — 6 years ago
100% Mourvèdre from Paso. Delicious and an incredible value. Rich, deep and voluptuous-you can dive right into the glass with this one. Slate and cherry undertones on the nose. Long finish out the back side. Love this wine. — 7 years ago
Wowsa, had this for a few years and what an amazing surprise. A bit of fruit, small tannin so very smooth ending that lingers. — 9 years ago
This is one of my first Washington wines I've tried. It's smooth and light with a nice flavor. I'm not the wine expert but I have been to Napa, Sonoma, Paso Robles, Santa Barbara, Amador County & Lodi, and this is a nice wine. I'd buy a case! Don't try the cold grape wines (tried some Minnesota wines) it's like drinking kerosene! And wines on Maui (not so good either) — 9 years ago
Taste of Santa Rita (hills wine tasting room) deliciousness on 117 day in Los Olivos — 5 years ago
Blend of #chardonnay #gewürtztraminer and #moscatel #muscat Chardonnay is the leading grape. Fresh and juicy, reminiscent of Sta Rita Hills. — 6 years ago
In hills of Paso Robles, not far from Hearst castle, there is a man with a Homeric vision. His name is Daniel Daou and he is devoting his life to creating outstanding Cabernet’s. Deep red with dark berry nose, aged for 11 months on French oak (60% new). On the palate blackberry, black cherry and licorice, pepper spice with savory fine tannins. Medium+ finish ending with cacao and earthy herbs. Great value. The ‘17 is a bit richer than ‘16. Tasting Sample. — 6 years ago
Bought the 2013 vintage at tasting room in Los Olivos. Pricey for a Pinot but delicious — 7 years ago
This vintage and further vintages are from Sta. Rita Hills. This vintage was from Buona Terra Vineyard, now the Sanger Family West Vineyard. — 7 years ago
Nice light tannins once opened. A hint of pepper much like a Los Rocas red blend from Paso Robles area. — 9 years ago
If you happen to still have this wine in your cellar, be stoked. A one off from Tobin James, this is showing beautiful with blackberry jam and bramble fruit. Long lovely finish. — 9 years ago

Drive by this winery all the time-located on Bear Creek Road in the Los Gatos Hills - Pale ruby color. Aromas of cherry, violets and baking spices. Gorgeous flavors of cherry and those baking spices at the finish. — 5 years ago
