Pear, lemon curd, golden apple, citrus acidity, and clean minerals. Balanced, with more focus on acid and terroir. Paired well with potato leek soup and chicken breast. — 7 days ago

Leather, dried red fruit, oak, some plum and blackberry. Big and bold, a bit smoky. Fun to try a different expression of garnacha. — a month ago

A very classic central coast Pinot — this is a well executed genre exercise vs something artistic or expressive. A solid choice for Thursday evening. — a month ago

Dark cherry and cocoa. Takes a bit to open up. Plenty of tannin. Supple. Nice on its own on an early fall evening. — 14 days ago

Black cherry, fresh and dried red fruit, plenty of tannin, and some tobacco/cedar notes. Medium heavy body. Don’t catch a lot of fruit on the nose. Fun label, solid value. — a month ago

8.5

Big, brambly, bold. Not harmonious yet. Hard to say if everything will come together at some point. Big red fruit, some woody notes, unripe red currant, plenty of tannin yet has some juiciness. Unrefined but kind of fun. — a month ago

9.0

Cedar and graphite on the nose. Blackberry and raspberry, cocoa, fig, balanced by a somewhat lively acidity and tannin. Could use more time to come together. Good with burgers or bbq, and easy to drink. — 21 days ago

9.0

Fresh strawberry, raspberry, plenty of acid, some earthiness. Lively, well balanced and has enough depth to serve as a good transition into cooler weather. — a month ago

Delicious. Fruit forward for the region and the producer, but it’s working for me. Raspberry, dark cherry, red currants. Hints of cocoa. Well balanced. — 2 months ago
