Unctuous nose with ripe, bruised fruits. Peachy and macerated. Floral qualities and an alluring dash of freshly ground white pepper. Good rich texture with a calcareous finish and a little suggestion of light nectar or thistle honey. — 7 years ago
With each sip of this tropical fruit and honeysuckle explosion, my mind’s eye builds another block of my future backyard habitat and eagerly anticipates the inevitable butterfly perfusion — monarchs in time-lapse fanning out to take up temporary residence in every inch of milkweed, bull thistle, and salvia. While I can’t stop environmental destruction, I can create my own environmental insurrection. Monterey Wine Club. D: “Deep Taste David” feels “refreshed” by this buttery, lemony, something-or-other. — 8 years ago

Cameron has made a vermouth, by serendipitous means and by realizing that the amaro herbs of milk thistle, rosemary, cardoon, sumac, quassia bark and chamomile were already growing on the property. This vermouth is based on a barrel of 2010 Cameron Pinot Noir, with these herbs, honey, and a fleck of electrifying orange peel that adds to the brisk acidity and depth of plush yet bitter flavors tingling on the palate. — 10 years ago
