Ripe, big but savoury with great length and fine sweet tannin that seems to come from nowhere. Black and red fruited, complex. Would never have picked it as an Adelaide hills shiraz. Many thanks Seth and Magda! — 6 years ago

So I am new to this area by 7 months. Just started exploring the Temecula Valley wine region. I must admit, I kind of had apprehension because I've imbibed on great wine from many great places, so what was I to think about this unknown area? Well my local friend Lisa invited me to come out and do a tasting. As I entered the place, I was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance in this tasting room was impeccable. It's safe to say, this is the most attractive tasting room I've ever seen and I've been in the industry for some time. Magda was our hostess and her attention to detail and customer service was nothing but refreshing. I felt like I was in her home and she treated me as such. Now the wine. This blend is fantastic! It had a bright and medium fruit forward attack in the front end and a medium bodied flavor about it. Boysenberry Jam, smoked plum, and Bing cherries on the palette. Mild tannins, and a smooth medium dry finish. Had character in the legs like a Cab but qualities in color like a Pinot Noir. The Barbera in this blend was making its of known throughout the tasting experience. Highly recommend. — 8 years ago

Probably the best Muscat I've ever tasted. Not too sweet. Almost like a Riesling in character and sweetness. Honeysuckle, apricot, pear, sweet cream. Smooth mildly dry finish. Magda once again made the tasting experience wonderful on this warm and breezy Saturday afternoon. 🍷 — 8 years ago

Clean and crisp on the nose. Fresh water and fig. Apricot, honeydew, hint of jasmine, soft key lime pie. Hint of lemon rind in the back end with a dry finish. Thanks to Magda that made the tasting experience inviting and comfortable. Highly recommend. — 8 years ago
