Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2023 San Benito County pours a deep ruby/purple with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of blackberries, black plum, black pepper, purple flowers, licorice, gravelly earth and a mix of cool and warm spices. On the palate the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Delicious stuff and a perennial favorite of mine. Drink now through 2043. — 8 months ago

Generally what you'd expect from a budget Pinot - oaky/vanilla, cherry, a bit of a bite — 4 years ago
Crisp nose of unripe pear, honey and lime on the nose. Baked honey crisp apple, white flower, slight petrol on the palate. Lovely minerality and sense of terroir in this wine. — 6 years ago

Deep purple colors in the glass. Heavy cab with blueberry, vanilla, and tasting notes of earth. Very yummy cab and went perfectly with pot roast. — 7 years ago

Third bottle and excellent! One more left. So much earth and herbs and bright red fruits. I love this wine. I’ve had two Mourvèdre wines I really enjoy from wineries that have shut down, who is using this fruit now? What other wineries can I get crunchy Mourvèdre that has a whisper of bandol but at the same time is hippie California? — 4 days ago
