A Burgundian-styled Cab Sauv from the one of the most compelling Sub AVA of Napa mountains (Mayacamas) which has an amazing soil and solid influence from the Pacific. Crafted with an amazing balance of 68% Cab Sauv, 20% Merlot, 5% and the rest to round it off its structure and age ability. The 2011 is still climbing to its peak. Enticing notes of dry red fruits on the nose and mouth, delicate, outstandingly silky and nearly perfect balance!
The finish shows its beauty. (if you find it, it won’t disappoint you) it will give the run for the money. — 2 days ago

A top dog white wine from the legendary Tensley, and this one seats among the most aromatic of his line, a blend of 50/50 Viognier and Rousanne, from Santa Barbara. Honey suckle, floral with a compelling acidly, kumquats, tropical fruits, and harmonious balance and delicate texture. This wine takes you to another dimension! Long finish and the mouthfeel is so inviting! — 21 days ago

A decent Cab Sauv from the Estate Salvestrin specifically out of the Dr. Crane Vinyard in St. Helena, Napa. It’s composed of 83% Cab Sauv, 10% Merlot, and 7% Cab Sauv. It’s deep and intense of baked dark cherry on the nose, great texture on the palate and pretty silky mouthfeel. Tannins are structured and smooth. Great overall. It can age beautifully! — 2 days ago

This is one of the softest Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa floor I tested in a very long time. Extremely elegant, and beautifully structured, warm and delicious. The wine dances in your palate. The balance is striking and the finish is so delicate and crisp that takes you to a whole different level. Crazy delicious! — 14 days ago

Tensley P2KV Rodney’s Vineyard is an amazing 50/50 Viognier & Marsanne, the aromatics are so inviting, baked pear, honey suckle, revigorating acidity, and perfectly balanced. Long lasting finish, but not over lingering. Another edition of Tensley P2KV’s that will disappoint! — 21 days ago

Locally sourced Tempranillo grapes out of the Temecula valley, CA. A very casual and youthful Tempranillo with uplifting cherry notes, a bit peppery, medium plus tannins, elongated finish and decent mouthfeel. Some dry leaves and some toasted wood chips. A bit young to my taste. — 2 days ago

A white blend composed by 50% Vermentino, 45% Albariño, 5% Malvasia from Temecula, CA. Bright acidity, mellow on the nose and palate, apricot and lemongrass notes are persistent, clear and not lingering beeswax finish. Can be a bit fruity for some! — 2 days ago

This is an amazing IGT out of international variety Sauv. Blanc, it has a up lifting acidity, mild citrusy, mandarin peel. Compelling sapidity, nice minerality, dry and very refreshing. A subtle touch of wood, and low in AVB% 12. Deliciously mouthfeel. Cheers! — 21 days ago
