The 2023 is a ruby red, full bodied Pinot with a smooth silky finish. Paired with a salad and grilled salmon. — 4 months ago
Bubbly fun pop top with a grapefruit hue. Bready nose with a peach and red berry back. Fresh and crisp mouth feel with well balanced acidity. Red fruit on the palate and oh so crushable. Pair it with a simple pizza or mild cheeses. — 3 years ago
Had the 2018 with Kristen and Al, super good light Pinot — 4 years ago
Nice reminds me of Trousseau. Licorice nose, Raspberries, touch white pepper, touch sweet although stats say 0%, it must be the fruit, very nicely done. My wife - first ‘huh’ then it is actually not bad. Geek wine but fun. Sells out so fast there is so little just some tiny vineyards in CA. William Pfeffer apparently planted it it’s an ancient variant from Bordeaux. — 5 years ago
Old Vine Albarino from a small Church vineyard. One of my favorite prodcuers. White flower, lemon zest, hint of salinity and screaming acidity. — 21 days ago
Incredible zest to it—a perfect fresh white. — 2 months ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2023 San Benito County pours a deep ruby/purple with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of blackberries, black plum, black pepper, purple flowers, licorice, gravelly earth and a mix of cool and warm spices. On the palate the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Delicious stuff and a perennial favorite of mine. Drink now through 2043. — 8 months ago

The elegant side of #grenache - High-toned strawberry + red floral elements on the nose, elegant creamy texture on palate, soft tannins, balanced acidity. Lovely wine from I. Brand & Family Winery. #centralcoastwine — 4 years ago

Third bottle and excellent! One more left. So much earth and herbs and bright red fruits. I love this wine. I’ve had two Mourvèdre wines I really enjoy from wineries that have shut down, who is using this fruit now? What other wineries can I get crunchy Mourvèdre that has a whisper of bandol but at the same time is hippie California? — 8 days ago
