Carmel Valley (Central Coast) has been a favorite destination for my wine adventures. Joullian has been a staple there for 25 years--winemaker Ridge Watson included. Their 2007 (silver at the SF wine comp) lacked that cab kick. — 13 years ago

Solid core of acidity surrounded by lemon-honey flavors. More flesh than extreme south Napa Chards a la Watson Ranch (as one would expect). Lovely wine. — 12 years ago
