Big fruit dialed back by welcome acidity. Still holding up well. Good tannins in the background. Not much heat from the booze. — 9 years ago

A testament to terroir, and sadly the end of an era. — 8 years ago

Central Coast Cabernet Sauvignon 1979

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.

Had another bottle recently, seemed in better shape. Enjoyable.

Ventana Vineyards Syrah 2001

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.

Ventana Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Love Byington Sauvignon Blanc. It's a nice medium-bodied wine that can be paired with many meals and still hold its own. — 9 years ago
