Another great wine from this great, great producer. Aromatic with California ripeness yet fresh and lively. Raspberry, dark chocolate, dark cherry, herbs and spices. Great quality of fruit. Long finish. — a month ago

Requires some air but utterly delicious. So different than the ridge ‘pagani ranch’ but equally as insightful with regards to that terroir. Lush, complex and truly ‘American’. Bravo! — 2 years ago

Only showing some slight age on the palate. Color is still dense and deep with a clear rim. A very interesting wine and one I couldn’t have guessed at all. — 2 months ago

Very good. Benefit of Covid due to excess previously vineyard designates included in this wine. Vineyards like: Bedrock, Nervo, Sodini, Evangelho, Katushas, Teldeschi, Pagani, Old Hill, and Enz!!!!!!!!! — 4 years ago

This is a big, bold, , powerful, chewy wine. Not a nuanced one. Very nice if that's your thing. — 6 months ago

Overpriced exotic white blend from Sonoma: you get a bunch of that Malvasia nose, very floral, fennel, herbs, citrus-y, silky on palate, nicely integrated acidity - more austere on palate, lean/angular, herbaceous green edged, but w/decent power — a year ago

Black & blue fruits, sage & spice. Hint of brine. Could rest another 2-4 years... — 5 years ago

Of the handful of Geyserville vintages I have had, back to 03, this is my favorite. I decanted for 2.5 hours, and it continued to evolve over a couple of hours. This deserves more time in the cellar, but whatever. Dark, brambly black and red fruit, black licorice, white pepper, baking spices, & clove on the nose (with none of the meaty, soy sauce flavors the 2015 Pagani Ranch had recently). The oak is there for sure but it suits the wine. Explosively flavorful... I look forward to seeing how this taste in the future. Great Father’s Day bottle! — 5 years ago
