Oddly enough had to go to Ohio to drink Ca grapes. Solid Barbera. Let it sit for a bit and when it opens , dam. That’s a good wine — 4 years ago
Sweet front but dry on the back end. Great with a few ice cubes to cut the sweetness. — 5 years ago
Had a nice crispness you’d expect from SavBlanc and a more interesting barnyard flavor, paired with vanilla and a hint of straw. Enjoyable and a good wine to start the evening with. — 5 years ago
From TJs DC. Surprisingly good Pinot Noir. — 5 years ago
Dark fruit aroma. Easy smooth upfront with a dry middle and a long dry finish. A hint of the peppery sin and a hint of the cab boldness. — 7 years ago
Very good Pinot — 8 years ago
This was excellent and had both a spicy set of flavors, white pepper, bell pepper and hints of barn floor, as well as a nice fruit set of flavors in boysenberry, and black cherry. Beautiful deep red and violet colors. Definitely seems like it could also benefit from more years in bottle. — 3 years ago

This needed a 2 hour decant. Nose of figs, blueberry pie that is heavily spiced with clove. Palate is lovely with more baking spice, stewed fruits, blueberry jam, and some good tannin. 100% Napa but great in that style. — 5 years ago

A smoother cab sav. Love it — 6 years ago
Fantastic 2013 cab that we enjoyed when we were getting away to Tahoe the first time with baby. Der war unser Hochzeitswein. — 8 years ago
Lighter in color for a 2019, more of a medium ruby. Nose is cherry pie, not tart cherries but sweet black cherry. A bit of dust and a lot of cedar chest. Great structure, smooth tannins, and medium to full-bodied. The lighter color fooled me into thinking this would be a lighter cab, but it packs plenty of punch. The finish lingers especially pumping those cedar notes throughout. — 4 years ago
Deep purple without a hint of any other suggesting improper storage. Classic if a bit understated Napa nose. Soft yet appropriately firm tannins. Ripe black fruits. Luscious wine. Suggest drinking sooner rather than later owing to fruit ripeness. — 4 years ago
Pure Anderson Valley at its best. Aromas is plums, raspberries and violets lead to a soft and velvety palate. Flavors black fruits mingle with soft spice and earth and a finish that lingers with warm acidity and lingering fruit. A beautiful Pinot with a perfect amount of age. — 5 years ago
A great blend, makes me want to be in Tuscany. — 5 years ago
Non Vintage but released in 2014. I thought that this had matured and softened enough and glad@that I opened it already. it was ready. Really soft and mellow. Very easy to drink . Fruity but not jammy. Acidity and Alcohol was mellow. — 6 years ago
Delicious. Full bodied, nice acidity and the right amount of oak. — 8 years ago
