2004 Vintage. Best tasting yet of our import from Australia. Enjoyed at Ventana Grill , Pismo Beach, CA. Excellent food to go with! Coast view with whales offshore. Happy July 4th weekend! — 8 years ago

Big fruit dialed back by welcome acidity. Still holding up well. Good tannins in the background. Not much heat from the booze. — 10 years ago

I don't normally like white wine that much but this is incredibly smooth. Not too sweet, not too acidic. — 10 years ago
At Ventana Big Sur. Big oaky buttery. Kelly and I both loved it. Paired very well with our oyster mushrooms — 5 years ago
A testament to terroir, and sadly the end of an era. — 8 years ago
Interesting one from the 70s... seemed over the hill at first, but with some air it came back to life. Would have been great if it had a bit more fruit left.
Winemaker's Comment: 79% Cabernet Sauv. from Tepusquet; 17% Petite Sirah and 4% Merlot from Ventana Vineyards. Full, rich flavors & color. Unfined. Bottled March 1982. D.D.A. — 9 years ago
Quite powerful fruit and acidity. Aged well, lots of sediment required decanting. Some funk on the first night, gone on the second. Good, but not as good as the Paso Robles Syrah of previous years.
Winemaker's comment: Deep & dark. Classic Syrah bouquet w/ bright, spicy flavors. Rich & complex, fine finish. Unfined/unfiltered. Bottled May 2004. — 10 years ago
CT gives it an 88, but it's a 90+ in my book! — 10 years ago

Love Byington Sauvignon Blanc. It's a nice medium-bodied wine that can be paired with many meals and still hold its own. — 10 years ago
