This one really resonated. Tasted amazing the first and second day. Aromatics were petrol and calcareous. — 2 years ago

Petillant Naturel. Holy smokes this one moves the goal post. A different echelon. I didn’t share this bottle with my family. It was all me. Colorful, amazingly ripe but clean fruit, expressive but finished without the perspective of the tannic non-autolysis texture I despise in Pet-Nat. Wow wow. I taste a lot. A 10/10 in its class. — 3 years ago

My favorite varietally true expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from Happy Canyon - Santa Ynez Valley. Very nicely balanced acidity and ripeness not overdone. Very expressive dark fruit and some woody herbs. Decanted and consumed hours later. Fine grained tannin and restrained more so than most common SYV producers. This wine stands apart as a very balanced Cab without being “big” yet still offering plentiful fruit and beautiful bouquet. — 6 years ago

Opens up to a beautiful bouquet of dark fruits and spice on the nose, an outstanding nose. Mouthfeel finishes thin and there is a lingering green tannin that hasn't quite aged yet. Cork looked solid. I'd leave this cellared for several more years. Overall, really happy with this vintage. — 8 years ago
