Has more of an elegant feel than a Raffault, which always seem to have more power but also always in transition( since i cant afford library releases). Still tho, some barnyard on nose, lets say Conn. Farmer version, rather sleek polished fruit. Chinon version of tannins=low. An honest, enjoyable bottle — 8 years ago
In a great spot right now.
At 14.9% alc. according to the label I had my concerns but this is actually balanced.
Kudos to Celia Welch for another great wine.
(If I could give an extra point it would be because of the owners. You have to look hard for a nicer couple in the valley than Bill & Olga Keever).
Go visit and taste if you can! — 8 years ago
There is a peculiar beauty to Olga & Barnaby's wines. peculiar not because they are weird, they are elegant, aromatic, balanced. Peculiar in that there is a magic to them beyond what one might expect. Always just so damn delightfully lovely. — 10 years ago
its chinon and a baked potato for the windy blustery ides of march, that's dinner since my boo is away and all there's to do is watch game of thrones and work harder and sleep deep dreams that you can only have when you sleep alone. I really enjoy this but lately everything tastes light and characterless. maybe I'm just not listening enough — 11 years ago
Another beautiful SB from the Keever Family and Celia Welch.
I've been a fan of this winery from day one and highly recommend people checking it out on a visit to Napa.
The wines are fantastic and the owners Bill and Olga (together with their children Jason and Ashley) are just some of the nicest folks in town. — 8 years ago

Possible wedding wine? Brambly juicy medium bodied red with flavors of resin, pine and anise- pair with Raki? :)

Yum! I love the rose season. This is a clean, crisp rose... I would drink it anytime from April thru September. It reminds us of our trip thru the Loire Valley. — 8 years ago
Typical herbaceousness of the vintage, it was one of the easiest to spot blind. Reminds me of a very good Loire CF, perhaps the 1985 Olga Raffault Les Picasses. — 9 years ago
Love this! Great job Barnaby and Olga! — 9 years ago
