Had this at Paesanos in San Antonio, great night. Decided to keep on the barbera train, great decision. Moderately priced again, nice smooth wine with good flavor, nothing too intense. Interesting fact, this maker has a moscato that's really good as well — 12 years ago
Bottle of choice from the fridge this late night: a 2011 Calera Central Coast Pinot Noir. I am on my Calera train this week it seems, lol-last night was a Chardonnay from Calera, tonight a Pinot noir. I must admit, I am now a big fan of the Calera wines so far; this Pinot noir was awesome! The wine is light in similarity to many Burgundies, but has the fruit common with most California wines. I will be definitely drinking more Calera Pinot noir in the very near future! Color-ruby Bouquet-crush cranberries, with raspberry jello . There is definitely some light earthy notes, as well as floral notes. This wine has a beautiful bouquet Palate- cranberry, raspberry flavors with nutmeg and a long spicy finish...awesome!

The splashy label gave me pause and I approached with caution, but once I tasted, I was hooked. Fruity and warm without being a fruit bomb. Strong finish with stewed fruit and a hint of star anise. I would enjoy this all night solo hit it begs for food. — 11 years ago

My favorite wine I've had so far. Granted I'm a college kid so my wines have been limited to under $30, but I could drink this all night. Very easy to drink compared to similar priced wines I've had. — 11 years ago
Way better than I expected. Firm tannins and wonderful fruit. Buried treasure. Voted most surprising wine of the night — 11 years ago

This was such a surprise! My experience with American wines is limited but when I tried this one: OMG!!! The bouquet is so astonishing, you'd want it to taste as it smells... !! Beautiful ruby colour and, believe you me... It tastes better than its scent. Rich, full bodied yet subtle in The palate with a wonderful oaky and fruity aftertaste. Wish I could find another distributor in Western Australia where I am currently living. I tried this one at the #AshStreetCellar in #Sydney . Great night with @Desiree Diaz and Ben and Jochem and enjoying wonderful food from Zach our master chef!! — 11 years ago
