El Desafio de Jonata Ballard Canyon Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

2021 vintage. Light-medium body but with more stuffing than encountered in the previous 6-7 vintages. Unanticipated frontal-palate richness. Expected, back-end, oomph without massive tannins. Pretty without being precious. Would love to throw this ringer in a Napa and/or BDX tasting. Phenomenal without the cloying weight of the usual suspects. Best Cabernet Sauvignon effort I’ve had from this winery. 01.29.25. — 9 months ago

Great central coast Syrah from Michael Larner in Ballard Canyon. This area is overlooked snd should not be. This is a delicious, rich snd nuanced Syrah that you will enjoy. Get it if you can — 5 years ago

Combe Ballard Canyon Trousseau 2022

Light garnet color. Very interesting nose and palate of red fruits, rose petals, dried herbs, black tea, bergamot and sweet baking spices. Hint of eucalyptus on the long, complex and earthy finish. Smooth tannins. Lively, bright and very well balanced. Nice concentration for a light bodied wine. Excellent! — a year ago

Syrah So Hot Estate Grown Ballard Canyon

Incredibly fun syrah. Whole cluster, carbonic and early picked. Bright and super fruity. Blackberries on the nose and fresh blueberry pie on the palete. Dry farmed and only 12.5% alcohol.

A fun explosive fruit bomb. Great with spicy pizza.
