Very nice and a bit different. It’s a Rhone blending grape that Pali decided to bottle on its own. Seem to have some licorice, dark cherries and a bit of soy in the nose, very light with somewhat a short finish. A nice Beach House drinker for a warm evening. — 6 years ago

A Tuscan red wine strongly linked to its production area. Dark ruby red in appearance with a dense and compact body, like its scent that offers notes of incense and red fruits. Its main feature is precisely its scent, thanks to a complex and intriguing bouquet. It incorporates body and the right tannic boost to the taste. A blend of cleverly mixed Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Try it with game. — 8 years ago

Leads with pleasing citrus tart. Light on the nose and thankfully light on the buttery flavors. Clearly a Chardonnay. Would work with a bold meal , but not a patio sipper. — 8 years ago

Pali Cortado, around 80 yrs old from solera that used to belong to Gasper Florido. Single Cask, bottle December 2013. The aroma on this was incredible. The taste was the opposite from the nose. Smoke/burnt note with notable presence of walnuts. Preferred this over the 49. Great bottle to try. First time experiencing old sherry. — 8 years ago

The Fiddlestix Vineyard is located at mile marker 7.28 on Santa Rosa Road in Lompoc, California, which is situated in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. In the mid-90's Kathy Joseph of Fiddlehead Cellars, along with the viticultural icon Taz Steinhauer, acquired the 133-acre, former flower farm, across Santa Rosa Road from the Sanford & Benedict Vineyard, and in 1998 they planted 100 acres of Pinot Noir. Aside from the small amount earmarked for Fiddlehead's own production, much of the vineyard is contracted to other producers, including Ampelos, Ancien, Anglim, Arcadian, Bonaccorsi, Dragonette, Jonata, Ken Brown, Hartley-Ostini Hitching Post, Gainey, Ortman, Pali, Paul Lato, Prodigal, RN Estate, Rusack, Summerland, Tyler, Vogelzang, Wedell , and TAZ, not to mention Etude.

Opens with an austere earth note in a tone reminiscent of Barbaresco, and in the words of Miles Raymond, it's "tighter than a nun's ass." 45 minutes later, though, and it's singing and juicy. Black cherry, but not overripe, leads this medium bodied, pungent thinker, while a virtual greenhouse of floral shades help twist and shape its direction. Secondary dusty earth and walnut skin reveal the source of its austerity. True to its terroir, there's a tertiary layer of spice and rocks that provides the depth needed to go from good to great. — 8 years ago
