Extremely fruity. Compared to the Ovid, it's a complete fruit bomb. — 10 years ago

An incredible wine. It tasted as if it were just a few years old. Beautiful core of dark fruit and earth. A gorgeous expression of the valley. As Austin Peterson, Ovid Winemaker, said as we drank this "man California wine!" — 10 years ago

Chenin blanc the only one in Naps when dad purchased the vineyards one was planted to Chenin they tore it out 2004 replanted 2005 Molly chappellet is the label only sold at the winery apple honey extract honeysuckle and bright acidity. Bought a homesteaders propery homestead 600 proprty 400 for the home real estate 300000 acre they were the only ones on the hill lovely intensity with a creamy texture long finish lovely minerality. Finish 45+? All vineyards replanted they have learned a lot so the wines keep getting better. Original 320 acres intact from Prichard. Very close to a dry vouvray. Neighbors Ovid continuum Bryant David Arthur they are 100% solar and organic the next generation will have a better piece of property. Bought next door neighbors property to protect the family but not a real estate guy so he only bought the extra 300 acres of property this is also where all of the water comes from. 120 acres of vineyard today. sister does legal work and brother oversees winery production. M and dad still around. The next generation? — 12 years ago

2009 Syrah was just unreal. Dark berry, pepper and a game meat or bacon type note. It just soared. After 3hrs open it was in the zone. — 11 years ago

Always love Experiment from Ovid. The 2005 was more cab franc dominant and it's showing well with another decade or so left in the tank. — 11 years ago

This is some *seriously* good Syrah. Right up there in terms of quality with the big wines from Alban Vineyards, Ovid, and Harlan Estate.
Immense fruity palate, but not in an overpowering way. Gobs and gobs of complexity and character to the nose and taste, and a lingering aftertaste that never seems to fade. And the dryness. The dryness and fruitiness in combination will blow your mind with every sip

Astounding wine. Truly astounding. — 11 years ago
