Bien Nacido Vineyard N Block Pinot Noir 2013

Marvelous floral nose, very well balanced. Top notch Pinot — 8 years ago

Chanin

Bien Nacido Vineyard Chardonnay 2013

Powerful, dense and full bodied with a high acid finish. This needs to lay down for a while. — 8 years ago

Jaffurs Wine Cellars

Bien Nacido Vineyard Viognier 2014

Has to be in the conversation of the top Cali Vio's. Unctuous tropical fruit and flowers with the right dollop of acidity. Ever so slightly off-dry. Outstanding with chicken in Thai peanut sauce. — 8 years ago

Bien Nacido Cuvée Santa Maria Valley Viognier Chardonnay 2013

there's a wild and wooly oaken monster trying to emerge but the lacy and flowery viognier coaxes it back in the bottle — 10 years ago

La Fenêtre

Bien Nacido Vineyard Chardonnay 2010



Smooth, right degree of ML. Look out of any window, any evening, any day.
You'll always be grateful for what La Fenetre does with Bien Nacido Chardonnay, Block 11 and "i" Block.

Apologies to Jerry. I wish that I was drinking with him as wel as the rest of you. This one helps me to pretend.

Bonaccorsi

Bien Nacido Vineyard Syrah 2007

Complexity over 2 days. Initially more a fruit bomb (think Aussie Shiraz). Day 2 brought smokey meat and a Côte-Rotie clone! Super interesting — 10 years ago

Clendenen Family Vineyards

Bien Nacido Estate Plantings Petit Verdot 2008

Did a cheese pairing with this monster. Full of flavor and married well with a rich smooth Vermont cheddar. Complex wine. — 11 years ago

I’m not thrilled that you gave hs a higher score than the true believer. Typo? However, my team and I did grow the grapes for this wine, so I guess I would rather lose to my friend, Mr. From than someone else. I humbly concede.

@Hammell We will have to open a '13 TB soon to do a proper comparison
