Beautiful bloody and transparent shade of red. The aroma reminds me of dry prune or dry ripe/resinated black grape. On the palate, the wine is easy drinking, medium astringency, with balanced red cherry, earthy quality, and spices. Went surprisingly well with our sushi omakase! — 8 years ago
Bright aromas of sour red cherries, rhubarb, earthy spice and some savorury/stalky herbal qualities. Both and weight both immaculate. Supple, fluid, intense and great length. Drinking well now with develop just stating to peek through the primary fruits. Still has time. — 8 years ago

Finishing off the night...cheesecake and bourbon. Ocean is definitely a wee bit briny but has all the savory caramel and vanilla notes of its Presidential brethren, smooth and rich comported. And not so loaded with the alky...so I may have another — 9 years ago
This was a very well-balanced deep wine. Would definitely buy it again. Karina loved it. — 10 years ago

A friend shared the 2011 bottle. It was delicious. A nice full body with a good amount of tannins, but pretty smooth. I noticed some berry notes. — 9 years ago

Absolute beauty - such balance of articulate fruit (both apricot and "grape" flesh) and powerful acidity/mineral restraint. Texture and taste -- it was ALL THERE - grace & power! — 7 years ago
Was lucky enough to taste this again. From a hillside vineyard on an eastern slope on the second ridge from the Pacific Ocean. Deep Ruby with forward fruit aromas of red fruits and peppery spices. The palate shows sour raspberry and wild cherry with flavorful spices. Vivid acidity with soft tannins were noted. The finish was lingering with oaky notes, minerality and earthy tones. Very nice!

An all time fav. Vines grow up to the cliff overlooking the ocean. Can taste the shist and salt. Delicate ethereal wine. Maybe a muscadet? — 9 years ago

Everyone could say it must be Burgundy! It’s a footprint of california-made wine that a faint oak vanillas. Cherry, cranberry, very elegant aromas and flavors. — 5 years ago
