This past November I visited Los Olivos, CA and the whole purpose was to visit Saarloos & Sons Winery and become more familiar with their wine. After spending the morning with Kieth Saarloos the owner I learned a lot about his family values and the heart and love he puts into his wines. Needless to say I became a wine club member. Their wines can only be purchased by becoming a member, at their shop in Los Olivos or online.

Tonight I have opened the 2013 Wolfhonden Petit Verdot. On the nose there is big dark fruit, plum, blackberry, blueberry and some black cherry.

On the palate I get big black cherry, plum, sage, dried herbs and a touch of smokey oak.

This is a full bodied wine with medium + acidity and smooth rounded tannins. A very well balanced wine with everything in order.

Keith Saarloos and Saarloos & Sons Winery does a very nice job with their wines. I recommend if ever in the Los Olivos, CA area to drop in and visit their tasting room.

This is an unbelievably good drinking wine. Pleasant on the nose and bliss in the mouth. I almost don't don't want to post so people can't find out about it. But I would hate not to share the joy of the day.
