On the pricier side, dry with a soli bite. Would like it to be a little smokier but leaves a lasting after taste. I’m also currently in Hawaii on a beach drinking this so there is literally nothing in this world that can disappoint me right now. My spirits are high. — 7 years ago

Garys' Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013

Wow, really a big, fruit driven Pinot. Deep dark cherry fruit, a bit of tobacco, oak, and acid with a long finish. Maybe better because we're at the beach. — 9 years ago

Dry Stack Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2017

This is a full-throttle unfiltered SB 😅 Very hazy and cloudy with plenty of particles of all shapes & sizes floating around. Loads of pineapple, lychee, peach, and honeysuckle on the nose and palate with a lovely acidity, all of which conjures up images of lawn parties & beach sunsets. — 7 years ago

Aesthete SB from the same vineyard. Must try ... drink at almost room temperature. It’s the only thing they make. It destroys Russells SB. $55.00 a bottle, free shipping it you join.

Château Potensac

Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

The nose has notes of lavender and a faint reminder of beach sand. The first sip started a bit spicy with cinnamon and nutmeg. The tannins are high and chalky at first but fade quickly. The finish is a nice combination of wood, toast and blackberry. I think this wine would benefit from another few years of aging. — 11 years ago

La Crele Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc

Crisp and refreshing,, sometimes how good a wine tastes & feels is just as much about where and when you drink it - after a hot, "Nado" CA beach day this hits the spot and all the right notes! — 11 years ago

Kim Crawford

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Truly a lovely surprise! Fresh, just dry enough and slightly citrusy .... Summer beach breeze in a bottle! For 15$ this wine is exceptional. I sipped it with an ahi tuna salad with mango and goat cheese but I'd pair it with just about anything. For me, this wine is easily consumed with a group of friends with diverse tastes: a perfect "social" pairing! Salud! — 11 years ago

Stonier

Windmill Vineyard Pinot Noir 2007

Fair bit of bricking, nose is fairly pronounced with roast root vegetables, barnyard, plum and clove. Mid weight and showing good fruit from entry on - plum compote and red cherry - plus spice, caramel, beetroot. Nice complexity without feeling deep - more a sense of entwined flavours. Length and freshness pretty good, that oak caramel sweetness lingering with stewed rhubarb and red plum. Good drink; have got more tucked away but I'll be onto it soon - drinking well and don't think it's going to improve from here. — 12 years ago

Matthiasson

California Rosé Blend 2014

The 2014 Mattaison Napa Valley Rosé is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, and Counoise from the Windmill Vineyard. I love this wine because what it communicates is restraint and tensile minerality as one would find in a good Provence rosé. Delicate floral aromas, slightly underripe white peaches, and white hand soap lend dimension to a lithe frame that has a subtle and demure touch of creaminess in the background. White plum skins and pie cherries crescendo before slowly unwinding. 11.2% ABV | Sample — 11 years ago
