Central Coast ripeness well balanced with freshness, acidity, and a light hand in the winery. — 8 years ago
Nose is cherry pie, strawberry and cranberry. On the palate is more strawberry and cranberry with clove and cinnamon overlaying an earthy mineral backbone. It drops off slightly in the finish, but this is a well rounded, medium bodied Pinot with excellent bang for the buck. — 9 years ago
Once I stopped wanting this to be Muscadet (much lower acidity) or Ramato Pinot Gris (not nearly the tannin/phenolic structure) I really enjoyed this. It's a much quieter and more nuanced 'orange' wine, rewarding close attention and time taken. Lots of development over 3 days, and I'm curious where this is in another year or two.

Bright, juicy, cloudy California Mourvèdre (100%) from the Dirty & Rowdy Family. Described as a “snapshot of California Mourvèdre”, the 2018 Familiar comes from vineyards in 5 different appellations: Antle Vineyard in Monterey county, Evangelho Vineyard in Contra Costa (120+ years old vines), Rosewood Vineyard in Mendocino (90+ years old vines), Shake Ridge Ranch in Amador county and Skinner Stoney Creek and Skinner White Oak Flats in El Dorado County. Strawberries, right amount of funk. Delicious — 6 years ago

Some cran and raspberry on the nose. Very full and herbal flavors. Nice hit of acid on the backside. Mouthwatering and juicy. Has a great tannic element for balance too. Lovely stuff. — 9 years ago

Blueberries, dude. Blueberries. Purple flowers, not white. A wild mouthfeel, great suppleness and then lively acids. Light but serious. Attention grabbing. Seductive. — 10 years ago

Lovely light, lower alcohol (13%) pinot noir from Chalone AVA. Good acidity, really opened up with the roast chicken we ate tonight. — 7 years ago
Beautiful aromas of mixed berries, violets, and perfume. Small amount of funk. Great acidity and mouthfeel with silky tannins. Personally I enjoy the Antle Vineyard Mourvèdre more but this is still quite delicious. — 8 years ago
