Snappy acidity. Medium bodied with lemon, tangerine, loads of white pepper, and a green note I can’t quite place. Asparagus? Other tasters mentioning arugula. Mineral, even a bit salty. Excellent. — 13 days ago

Just not great, especially at this price point. Fruit, acidity, and tannin can’t seem to find balance. Alcohol sticks out. Quite bitter.
Wish I had better things to say. Terrible QPR. — a month ago

Decanted an hour. Lots of sediment. Beautiful nose. Sweet violets. Olives. Blackberries. Balanced and at peak, should hold here for a few years but I don’t see it getting better. — 7 days ago

Not my style. Big fruit and huge oak. Deep and concentrated. Loads of vanilla. — 13 days ago

Structured and intense. Youthful notes of lime peel, guava, mango, and papaya with striking acidity. Medium bodied with a mineral spine. One of the best domestic Rieslings I’ve tasted. Don’t hesitate to cellar. Lives up to the hype. — 23 days ago

In a great place. Orchard apples, honey, lemon oil. That elegantly waxy Chenin texture. This came off sweeter a couple years back. Has really integrated the sugar beautifully. — 7 days ago

9.1

Excellent QPR for a minimally oaked style. Bright and tropical. Lemon, mango, and guava but not overly concentrated. These Santa Barbara wines are offering a taste of the domestic “old world”. Impressed for $23. — 13 days ago
