Really delicious w/ 1 hour decant! Love whole Cluster wines; a lot of finesse in the glass! @Mike Smith 👍. @Paul T- Huntington Beach has a nice informative history on Petaluma Gap; thank you! — 3 years ago

Pleasant surprise. This wine taste like a Russian River Valley wine. I do not remember what I paid for it but it taste really good. Had it with cod fish yesterday and shepherds pie today. It works! — 6 years ago
Waited to get home to try this one. The last bottle was corked. This bottle, not nearly so much!After the last bottle was corked, this bottle was opened the next night. Poured a light straw color. Nose of lemon and herbed buttered popcorn. The entry was acidic and dominated by lemon and Asian pear. Middle of this wine is where the buttered popcorn and kernel notes kicked in. The wine finishes rather acidic, but with good weight and density. I still think this one has quite a few years left in it. The next one to drink is the last 2013 for sure. Drink or hold this one another 3 to 5 years. — 7 years ago

Another great Saxon brown expression of chard. Lively, malo action going on, orange rind and some spice with a few floral hints. — 3 years ago
