Well-made single varietal cabernet grown near Monte Bello. Smooth blackberry and graphite. Round and medium weight mouthfeel. Less complexity given the single varietal but made with finesse. β 7 months ago

The Antica Terra Botanica Pinot Noir has concentrated notes of black cherry compote, mulberry, wild strawberry, violet, blood orange peel, crushed stone, tarragon leaves, cacao nibs, & clove with fine, polished tannins, lifted acidity, balance; an elegant wine thatβs light on its feet with depth of character, projecting a quiet strength. β 3 months ago


Winemaker dinner at Nari. This was clearly young and tasted next to the 2011 missing the depth of maturity β 4 months ago
2021. Drove to Omaha to attend an Arnot-Roberts wine class and tasting, and got there early to enjoy some delicious oysters with a bottle of fantastic Chardonnay that wasnβt on the tasting list. Unfortunately, Nathan Roberts flights were delayed and the class was cancelled, but weβre going home with a bunch of tasty wines instead! β 6 months ago
Still young for my tastes but checking in on a go-to producer. Killer with King Crab Salad sandwiches π₯ͺ
This bottle was a bit slow out the gate and needed some air to reveal the magic inside. This bottle was a pick up from Corti Bros when passing through Sacramento via Tahoe.
Finesse, and beautifully prolific white wine structure all the way throughout.

Deep ruby color. Aromas of blueberry, leather and eucalyptus. Solid wine! Flavors of cherry, raspberry, cedar and pencil lead. Great vintage!
