Wonderful nose of dark fruit, oak and cinnamon. Fantastic tastes of blueberries, blackberries, cassis, baking spices and oak. A bold wine with solid tannins that are still working to put on silk gloves. This is a blend of grapes from all 15 AVA's in Napa back in 2010. Probably has another decade or more in terms of optimal bottle life. Steve Reynold's at his best. — 9 years ago

A very nice Bordeaux blend from Steve Reynolds. Excellent notes of rose petals, cinnamon and earthiness. On the palate I pick up dark and red fruit, spice and rosemary. Very smooth tannins wrapped around a hint of acidity that makes for a very nice mouthfeel and finish. One of our favorite wineries in Napa. @ — 10 years ago
Medium bodied, tiny touch on the sweeter side but still dry. It is a rosé. — 11 years ago
Bright, fresh and delicious red blend of Refosco and Merlot from Matthiason. Tasted with Steve in Napa! — 11 years ago
Tasted blind amongst some great Napa wines and performed very well. Very elegant, pretty red raspberry nose. Elegant and restrained on the palate, but still vibrant and youthful. A wine with lots of soul and personality. Well done Steve! — 11 years ago

Another masterstroke from Steve Pannel, beautiful cold climate shiraz, good body, dark berries, touch of soft spice but overall a nice fruit driven shiraz for Australian climates. — 9 years ago
I purchased a case of this wine on release and have been drinking a bottle per year to follow the evolution of this unusual grape variety as produced by the superlative Carole Meredith and Steve Lagier.
The early bottles showed a bloody brooding meaty power, but the wine has become more refined over the years.
This last bottle was the brightness with pleasant acidity, pure fruit, and a gracefulness on the palate that was slightly reminiscent of Gattinara instead of Rhone Syrah.

Light golden color. Probably the most complex nose of any white wine I've ever had. I get meyer lemon, some veggies, metallic elements, and about 10 other things I'm not good enough to pin down. Wine is crisp and balanced with just the amount of tartness I enjoy. Above average finish. This is a wine that is not meant to be figured out but to be enjoyed for its multiple dimensions. Well done Steve! — 8 years ago
