Wine Creek Ranch Primitivo 2019
Quivira is one of those under the radar producers that consistently makes compelling, authentic wines. Their commitment to biodynamics is obvious the moment you walk the property. Popped and poured; consumed over two days. In the glass, the wine is a bright ruby color that stains the glass. No signs of sediment at this young stage. On Day 1, the wine was a darned good quaffer but nothing particularly striking and, in fact, seemed almost indistinguishable from any run of the mill, Dry Creek Zinfandel. By Day 2 however, things became much more interesting and the structure really started to show more which balanced out the fruit. The nose remains quite reticent with delicate red fruit, lavender, underbrush and pastilles. On the palate, tart red cherry fruit, blackberries, plums and some green banana emerging on the finish. Medium tannin; medium+ acid which lingers providing a long, satisfying finish. Ultimately, this is a really enjoyable Primitivo that needs a lot of air to really appreciate. — 4 years ago

Dieden Vineyard Zinfandel 1999
ripe raspberry rivers flow through to a long finish. high alcohol (14.3) full body. there is still med+ acid matching the med darkred fruit. Better with an hour of air so these can probably last another couple years in great shape. lovin the 90s Quivira that I've tried — 5 years ago
The Quivira Collection
Wine Creek Ranch Sauvignon Blanc 2019
Popped and poured; consumed over three days. Best on day three. The 2019 Quivira “Q Collection” Sauvignon Blanc pours a pale straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose the wine is bursting with bright citrus fruits, fresh herbs, fresh asparagus, fennel and minerals. There is an overwhelming sense of freshness that is very attractive. On the palate the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Citrus fruits, namely grapefruit and lime, dominate accompanied by limestone-like minerals. The finish is long, zippy and satisfying. I dig this style of California Sauvignon Blanc: bright and energetic. — 3 years ago

Pillsbury Vineyard Zinfandel 2018
Just released and very primary at this moment but there is a hell of a lot to like here and shows remarkable restraint considering the 14.8% abv. The overarching theme is freshness. Dark ruby, almost electric magenta. This is a vibrant wine full of brambly fruit and racy acid; tannins are medium. A balanced wine that’s drinking very well right now and will likely improve over the next 10 years. This would pair wel with any hearty meal. 100% biodynamic. — 5 years ago
