From a vineyard on Howell Mountain. This is in a good place, but the last glass, 3 hrs after opening, was the best...so no hurry. Beautiful nose at that point. — 7 years ago

Long cool bottle of the classic Gewurztraminer. Color has slightest golden hue. Smells like pears and beeswax. Flavors are clean and crisp. Not much or any residual sugars. More pears in there. Bright acidity. Meyer lemon. This is very good CA Gewurtz. Food wine with zip and zing. Even holds up after 4 years of age. Winner, winner Gewurtz with dinner. — 3 years ago

Similar in style to Beaulieu wine. Slightly more tannic and food friendly. — 8 years ago
This quickly became one of my favorite wineries! Friendly, approachable, small production, delicious food products and delicious wines! This vintage is 96% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, and 1% Malbec. I get loads of blueberry, cedar, licorice, flowers (maybe violets), cherry and a hint of peppermint here. Medium body with medium grippy tannins that carry flavors of cherry, licorice and a flint like flavor. Give it time to breathe. Made very much in a old world less fruit forward manner. — 8 years ago
