Dry farmed, own roots, planted in the 1890s. Old California meets the modern age. Field blend and I don't care what the grapes are. Pretty on the nose, even better in the mouth. But so young. Glad I have more. Such a delightful wine. Went great with tonight's spicy tri-tip. Thanks, Morgan! — 9 years ago
Bright acidity. More raspberry than cherry on the nose. Tannins stick primarily to the tip of the tongue and dies quickly at the back. — 10 years ago
Delicious. Perfume is Californian. Dark red fruits, hints of chocolate and some tobacco, but it's new world. Layers of fruit that are smooth and seamless. Long long finish. Just wonderful; doesn't hurt to have with a Kobe beef marinated tri tip grilled medium rare. — 10 years ago

First wine of the day and it's light and fruity with the tannins and hints of grapefruit that lad on the tip of your tongue. A very light and refreshing wine. — 11 years ago

Big style Chardonnay from the southern tip of Africa, excellent. — 8 years ago
2005 purchased at the chateau. Medium bodied but with a nice long somewhat floral finish. Unusual for a St Esteph, which usually has a more earthy profile. Medium tannins and medium bodied. Not quite enough oomph to stand up to the barbecued tri-tip we had but very nice. — 8 years ago
With light freshness and subtle fragrance from early spring mowing, the wine lies on the tongue tip like a mild kitty. The long and lingering finish carries exceptional and totally unexpected tannins. Well worth it's price. — 11 years ago
Made by the great randy Dunn the grapes for this wine are sourced from the wahluke slope and tri cities this wine is a more elegant style of Cabernet Sauvignon and even has a bit of Brett medicinal cigar box spice and some herbs and milk chocolate notes. A very fresh and elegant wine with currant and plum fruit with some of that cigar box spice and fresh earth. Finish 45+ most excellent — 11 years ago
Dark cherry and vanilla on the nose, delish smooth silky on the tongue. Overall awesome. Better than any cash tip! — 12 years ago

Very fragrant nose with strong berry notes. Sweet but full bodied mouthful. Acid at the tip of my tongue. Great for $9.9! — 8 years ago
