2021 was an excellent purchase. Smooth and a bit tannic. Delicious with pizza. — 4 months ago
Pop and pour: excellent aromatics, somewhat muddled on the palate. Notes from 1.5 hrs open. On the nose: asian spice, red fruit, blueberry. On the palate: excellent acidity, bitter herbs and minerality, a touch of heat, pomegranate, cherry pit and grainy tannin on the slightly hot finish. — 7 months ago
Coming from one of the coolest AVAs in Northern CA, I was expecting a fresher version when I opened the first bottle. But that was not the case at all. This is a 2nd bottle, and Iarrived at the same conclusion. Rich and concentrated, but full of varietal characters. Has the structure to go another 8-10 years.
A keeper. — 9 months ago
Just had a coravin taste of the 18. Really drinking well right out of the body. Mellowing out, big fruit, great structure, softening up for a great mouthfeel. This is gonna be really good soon. — 3 months ago

The 2021 Riesling displays spring flowers, crushed green apples and ginger spice. Soft textures and ripe tropical citrus tones appear on the palate, while kiwi and candied lime nuances linger. At 1.27 grams of residual sugar per liter, it maintains a lovely balance of sweetness and energy. $14.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, March 2023) — 8 months ago
Dark berries and chocolate on the palate. Rich and elegant. Medium body. Very good! — 6 months ago
Plum and red berry. Tannins still popping and could use a bit more time, 2-3 yrs. — a year ago

I am selective of the Merlot I drink. I enjoy this one. It’s a nice weeknight wine. I have bought it again. Nice for the price. — 2 months ago
