Such a great Bourgogne Blanc drinking better than a number of 1er Crus showing lemon, pear, green apple fruit with a stony, mineral, floral & racy acid notes — a month ago
Very sleek and smooth Sangiovese wine with Merlot as the background grape. Black cherry, some herbal elements and a medium finish that feel appropriate for this well made wine. — 6 months ago
Needs a good day to open up. At first quite brutal in an unyielding way. I left this on my custom Argon line for a week. Reviewed this many times before. Absolutely delicious and driven by earth herbs and hint of red fruits. More or less for aficionados only (I don’t want to be condescending here) as so much patience is required. Drink now because i do not expect the fruit to hang on all that long. — 2 years ago
Bought at Pine Orchard 10/21, $36 Santa Maria Valley, Santa Barbara County and tasted with Las Alturas Pinot. Lighter, brighter, fruitier style Pinot. — 4 years ago
Our bottle doesn’t say Petite Syrah, just “red wine”. Bought from Treasury employee store at a nice discount. Tasted more expensive wines that weren’t as good as this one. — 4 years ago
Interesting Zinfandel (73%) based California blend. Also includes Petite Sirah (13%), Carignan (10%), Mataro (3%) and Alicante Bouchet (1%)). Dark ruby/purple color with a slight garnet rim. Pronounced aromas of ripe red and black berries, mint, violets moist earth and wet stones. Plush flavors of black berry/raspberry/plum fruit, mulberries, cola, dried herbs and sweet baking spices. Touch of smoky black pepper spice on the long and zesty finish. Medium-plus bodied and robust with a juicy profile and soft/silky tannins. Excellent picnic wine! Memorial Day 2026. — 6 months ago

Nose: Cherry with a hint of baking spices
Body Light body- (CS on training wheels)
Palate: Acidity forward (which could be part of the BC flavor) hints of dark fruit, like plum and blackcurrant Would pair well with: Meatball w/red sauce. Prosciutto and mozzarella cheese. Potato Skins w/bacon, and bacon wrapped scallops — 3 years ago

Concentrated yet balanced, this Reserva shows dense black cherry and plum layered with cedar, vanilla, and a whisper of incense. Firm, mouthwatering acidity lifts the generous mid-palate. Fine tannins and a long, savory finish.
2019 delivers the goods. Tremendous value at $15.00. — 4 days ago
