B did a great job in 2017. This is an outrageously good cab franc. Big wine but tastes like cab franc. Minerality, hint of green, plush dark fruit. — 2 years ago

Butter butter butter! Warm dark fruits with a balanced start and even smoother finish. Raspberry, blackberry, light jam, leather, with a hint of allspice. June 1, 2021 berns with Tara. — 2 years ago

Had to be a great experience

Tom Garland

@Shay A 1st time trying. Really nice expression of riesling with plenty of acidity, dry,low alcohol (around 12%) wine. Notes of apples, some stone fruit, minerals, lemon, slate. Worth checking out.

Tom Garland

@Jay Eagan Yes, fascinating to hear about his experience with Mondavi, help setting up Opus, how and why he got into winemaking, etc. The food and wine were good too! Cheers.
