Very fruit driven. 13.8%. Lacks interest besides that. Red fruit - strawberry compote. Good acidity. Not my style and not complex enough for the $. — 2 days ago

Better than the 15 Les Vergelesses. Quite modern for a Burgh and fruit / driven comes across a touch sweet; although plenty tannic. Mostly cherry 🍒 and raspberries. More stuffing than the Vergelesses. Good stuff just not my style. — 18 days ago

Top Riesling for a Song. White peaches, limes, rangpur limes, touch cardamom, minerality and salinity en masse. This is the best value of German GG Riesling by a mile - Lyle is right! - In fact anybody who passes up on this should have regrets. — 6 days ago

Kirk - Captain. Spoils this a little bit. The Label. 20$. Otherwise a very nice consumable Barolo for a steal. Quite tannic - Rose, hint of violets, dark 🍒. Hint cardamom. Needs age 3+ years. If you like Barolo - this is a no brainer - and for the price - I thought my friend made a mistake when she presented me with the bill 130$ for 6 bottles in CA! So J. Howard is correct this is good. — 15 days ago

Camping on Figuera Mountain close to Los Olivos drinking Great Pinot. Bought and retried the wine. 13% plenty of raspberry some cherry and spice. I met Ernst Storm this weekend- definitely a name to watch - his Pinot’s are the most Burg like ones in Santa Barbara right now. Tyler is just as good but more dollars. This one is quite fruit driven but still excellent. — 22 days ago

So as promised - second tasting within 2 weeks. Ernst Storm told me this wine is from young vines on clay soil. Dark cherries, minerals, hint black tea, surprisingly complex. I will keep an eye on this Vineyard. It shows great promise! — 8 days ago

12% alcohol. Good acidity, not super complex but a really nice every day Chenin Blanc. Ripe yellow limes, lemons - hints of fresh cut grass - so juicy and fresh. I bought 6 bottles - my go to white for the next weeks. — 12 days ago
