A lovely Chardonnay with a satisfying silky mouthfeel, crisp acidity and bouquet of jasmine and white melon. Going to splash a bit into the butter/garlic/lime sauce to finish the halibut.

This was described to us as having “layers of earth” and there was an earth element but the first impression was of fresh, bright red cherry and currant with ample acidity. It opened up to deeper notes of dark cherry and earth. Paired well with a modern version of Peking Duck with a rich reduction sauce spiked with sherry vinegar. I think a few years more in the bottle will develop more complexity. — 7 years ago

That’s a great pairing. I just had the 2014 and it’s showing great. Lots of lavender and dried rose petal.

I had this vintage in France in 2013 and it was brier-y and tannic. 6 years has smoothed, softened and deepened this wine. We drank it with vintner Richard Sanford and his wife and all agreed it was beautifully balanced. — 6 years ago

A beautiful Santa Maria Pinot from talented winemaker Dieter Cronje. More fruit forward and powerful than the adjacent Sta Rita hills cousins. Smooth, silky, with a long finish, balanced acidity and a touch of smoke on the nose.

Packed with fruit but also acidity and tannins to balance it. Perfect with a grilled ribeye and a mushroom/wine reduction sauce. A California classic zin. — 7 years ago
