The 2010 Esprit de Beaucastel from Tablas Creek was a tough act to follow, but this elegant Rhône blend from Sonoma just did that.
The nose was quite similar with aroma of blue fruits and earthy elements with hint of violet, it was the palate that set it apart: soft, complex and deep, with great texture and beautiful acidity that adds the tension. Elegant and seamless.

2018 Smooth, rich, lush. Great value and lingering full-mouth finish. Hint of jammy berries on the taste and just a great warm climate red from there. Would buy it again and again in a heartbeat. — 6 years ago

Strawberry on the nose. Big, fruit leather, hint of violet, and subtle minerals, tart dry finish. — 6 years ago
Just perfect. Light color, but lots of depth in flavor. Red berries and Central Otago dirt. Strong sense of terroir and place. Perfect balance. And so, so drinkable. — 7 years ago
Solid minerality and texture. Oak is restrained yet apart of the mid-palate structure. A bit meyer lemon-y, and does make the profile a bit specific — 9 months ago
