16 months, 40% new, but 100% French from from Vosges. Blend of Sierra Mar and Soberanes Vineyards in Santa Lucia Highlands. Baking spice, pie crust, cream, orange blossom, and golden pears lead very much into the style we all know well. — 9 years ago

One of the more compelling California Syrahs I have had. I tried my first three wines by this producer tonight. This one just jumped from the glass. No surprise considering the winemaker. — 10 years ago

Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir. Deep ruby color with bright red fruit and beautiful acid indicative of a cool climate Pinot. Great structure with notes of winter spices, coffee and chocolate. Produced by two of nicest guys I have have ever met, Rich Aurillas and Dave Roberts - both former baseball players and all around good guys. Only 150 cases produced. — 10 years ago

Classic smokey meat nose of Syrah with nice fruit aromatics and dark fruits in the mouth. Brilliant a acidity that Soberanes can offer is well integrated by the winemaker — 8 years ago

Moderate reddish purple in the glass. Pretty floral and perfumed notes on the nose with more subtle earthiness. Ripe, juicy, concentrated black cherry with licorice and spice. The coolest region of KB's three appellation level pinots and a blend of Garys', Pisoni, Rosella's, Sierra Mar, and Soberanes vineyards. I prefer it to the Sonoma Coast and Russian River offerings. — 9 years ago

Bibiana came to Brasswood yesterday to talk about her wines and her storyline from Columbia to France to California. Showed her Donum Pinot and Russian river Chardonnay and Soberanes Syrah to the entire staff, barside. When asked about the obstacles to overcome in making fine wine here as opposed to there she answered, " there are no obstacles to making fine wine here in California. The obstacle is to do it , have access to the fruit and a means to make it. Otherwise , all preferences are for this place, California ." — 9 years ago
