Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2013

Not overly complex but a nice Pinot noir for someone who is tired of so many imposter pinots. Nice, lively light berry flavor balanced with good, but not too much, alcohol and acidity. Would buy again. — 9 years ago

Anwilka

Stellenbosch Cabernet-Shiraz Blend 2005

Greg Ballington
9.3

Deep garnet in color. Nose has started to wear off, very light charcoal and earthy tones. There are some undertones of black fruit. Starts off earthy and lots of dark fruits like plums on the palate. Additionally the palate was slightly toasty. Moderate tannins (5.5/10) and moderate body. Finish was long and lingered. Not surprised by the power of this wine even after 10 years and the dark fruits on the palate. A little disappointed by the nose but still a delicious wine. After tasting this we will be making a stop by Klein Constantia tomorrow! — 10 years ago

Blanc de Blancs Brut Colombard Blend

The free bottle the Westin gave me for my birthday. A nice sparkling wine for sure. Dry - but not too much, and just enough sweet. I enjoyed it very much with the rich piece of chocolate cake they also treated me to as well. — 10 years ago

This is crazy good. one of the most delicious young can based wines i have had from WA. lots of fruit and concentration with good complexity. i have a few more bottles that i can't wait to taste in 4-6 years. this has the stuffing to last 15 easy but it won't need anything like that to reach greatness. run don't walk to find some.

A great, very unique take on sweet vermouth. Extremely well balanced and light. Love the fruit, the cherry notes are subtle yet uber fresh. On the rocks now but oh how this will be perfect in a manhattan. #perfectmanhattan @Steve Matthiasson @Jill Klein Matthiasson — 10 years ago

Sonoma County Cabernet Franc 2014

Cabernet Franc is currently enjoying a resurgence in popularity as a varietal wine, and this is an exemplary effort. Dark ruby in color, the tannic structure is medium, and the cherry and blueberry fruits really shine through. The finish manages to be both slightly sweet and a touch tart. I recommend chilling and then decanting for perhaps an hour. — 9 years ago

Cimarossa

Riva di Ponente Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Mia Klein knocked this out of the park!
#howellmountain fruit at its best, a superb expression of terroir in Napa which to me is usually oversold (and over-oaked). #miaklein #cimarossa #rivadiponente
Vivid red currants, cassis, a touch of mint and graphite, the palate is juicy, loaded with perfect balance, acidity and ripe, firm tannins that have started to mellow. This is from the western facing terraced slope of the property and was my favorite of the tasting way back in 2012. The cooler effect of a western exposure seems perfect in this vintage.
