Very smooth, well priced Malbec.. low acid — 8 years ago
Intense and masculine on the nose. Notes of cranberry, strawberry, cherry, slight barnyard notes with cold granite minerality and fresh earth. On the palate, moderate acidity and low tannin, and palette confirms the nose. Great wine. Does better when opened about 30 minutes prior to service — 8 years ago
Darker fruit and some tannins. Well balanced. — 8 years ago
Xmas 2017 gift from Paloma. Low alcohol 5.5% fun and sweet — 9 years ago
Epic, but obviously tight low alcohol Cab. Opened nicely over a 2 hr period though clearly needs more time and not close to ideal drinking window. — 9 years ago
Totally funky white blend - 60% Moscato de Allasandria/40% Albanello. Deep gold color (assuming skin contact). Apricot, orange blossom and pepper spice. Becomes more floral as it opens up. Minerals and a hint of oxidation. (A bit “sherry-like.”). Ripe apple on the finish. Nice balance. Relatively low alcohol (12%). Quite interesting. — 7 years ago
Fruity light, almost like a sparkling water. Low alcohol content — 7 years ago
This wine has a moderate aroma of blackberry, smoke vanilla and spices. It is flavorful, full-bodied, high in acidity and has low to medium round tannins. The predominate flavors are plum, BlackBerry, vanilla, smoke and spices. — 8 years ago

Loved this Sav Blanc. No acidity. Pear and subtle minerals -mellow-almost like a good Chardonnay. Drank it with the growers,Tom and Brenda; amongst the grapes on the hillside outside Calistoga. Just fabulous. — 9 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. — 7 years ago
Strong acidity and low alcohol. Red fruited and moderate tannic presence. Cool, refreshing and tangy. Better with food given the profile. — 8 years ago
An excellent bang for the buck! Personally, I find Californian CSs to be the best in the world. This is a low end example and it’s still great! Blackberry and dark cherry with hints of toast and spice. Not very long aftertaste though. But definitely a great every-day wine. — 8 years ago
Semi sweet cherries and medium body. Some dark chocolate notes. — 8 years ago
Lovely wine, has a little salinity to it in my opinion — 9 years ago
Excellent Pinot for $10 — 9 years ago
