The ‘22 vintage was terrific. The ‘23 is even more so. With a lovely dollop of Cab Sauvignon be prepared to drain the bottle lickety-split. If pure pleasure can be given a score…an easy 100 points! (But seriously. How does one score excellent rosé? I just don’t know.) — 2 years ago

Not my cup of tea but if you are a fan of Paso Robles wines this big, rich and full-bodied cab will certainly give much pleasure. My scoring….purely a guess…9.3. — a year ago
What a lovely wine. White flowers abound with spicy citrus flavors and a long finish that remains for a good five minutes. Unless I’m missing it (quite possible) those needing their minerality fix will be a tad disappointed. — 2 years ago
Paired with New England lobster rolls and French fries. Oh, so good! — 2 years ago
A little too soon to know where it’s going so I’ll come back in 24 hours. (Initial thoughts? It’s just OK.) 24 hours in…a tad too rustic for me and just seems out of wack. Perhaps an extra dollop of Syrah might have done the trick. No need to rate. — 2 years ago
A Kermit Lynch import. Enough said. A stunning Fleurie. Just stunning. — 2 years ago

It’s not often that you see the village of Sablet make a showing in Los Angeles. Pity. The wine: a tad rustic on opening but nicely settles in to the background when the dark red fruit punches out and combines with dried earthy herbs. One would be hard pressed to find a better example of classic CduR Village…especially given the difficulties of the ‘21 vintage. Well done! (An hour in…add candied tangerine to the palate. What little heat there was…Gone!) — a year ago
