16’Arista UV-EL Diablo Chardonnay. What makes these wines so absolutely fantastic since 2013...to me it is obvious, Matt has turned this winery around. If you like a hammer style Chardonnay such as Kongsgaard/Morlet/Peter Michael. This is not necessarily your wine.
Chardonnay that’s not heavily coded by let’s say vanilla Bean “You guess it”Elegance/finesse/balanced & CLASSY. Unlike his Ferren Wines (Love them)this has slightly less punch. Highly recommend. — 4 years ago

If you’re looking for the James Bond effect without the financial nosebleed, this maybe for you… Beautiful visual salmon pink presentation in the glass. Wispy mouthfeel with a nice light structure. Moderate tannins and acidity make this “ladder up” rosé a summer special. However, locating rocking horse sh!t might be an easier proposition. — 6 months ago

Powerful! Deep purple color. Smokey and meaty. I like it, but might be overpowering for some. — 4 years ago

Absolutely incredible. Massive nose of spice. Bold flavors of red fruit and pink peppercorn. Medium acidity and a long dry yet somehow juicy finish. This wine is a knockout now, and will continue to grow for many years. — 6 months ago

This killed it. Perfect harmony of the lacy, aromatic Northern Rhone nose with the classiest massive Cali presentation of Syrah fruit. — 9 months ago

My first experience with this producer, and wow! White burgundy is very hit or miss for me, but this was a total hit.

In the glass, someone could have told me they poured me Kongsgaard and I’d of believed them. Deep golden color. Even aromatically and initially on the palate it was as though someone blended Kongsgaard (very Hudson like), with mersault. There is a bitter honey/truffle honey note up front alongside overripe peach, honey roasted cashews, and orange marmalade. On the palate, it’s certainly rich but not so much from oak...honeycomb, honey covered cotton candy, caramel dipped golden delicious apples, almond shavings and a kiss of lanolin on the finish. This only improved in the bottle after 2-3hrs of being open. Drinking wonderfully right now. I need to hunt down some bottles! Thanks for the heads up here, @David T . — 3 years ago
