Enjoyed this one. Had the 2022 in October of 2023. Rich blackberry flavors along with some dark cherry. Lingering tannins finish off a very smooth finish. Enjoyed with a pork tenderloin covered in a honey mustard Cointreau glaze and French onion inspired orzo. Would buy this again in a heartbeat. Very much a California cab sauv so a bigger mouth feel and hint of sweetness. — a year ago

Sunday morning late brunch, bacon, eggs, fresh-baked coffee cake. Obviously calls for mimosas. This is what you need for a superior mimosa: OJ, a little splash of Cointreau, and superior bubbly. This was certainly a superior bubbly. — 4 years ago
Farmers market visit this morning dictated this after finding some decent Heirlooms awaiting my organic garden ones and deserving after cleaning the damn gutters all afternoon. .
Like this Rosé quite a lot. The price for it, not so much. But, worth it once in a while and this one has been laying down a number of years, so… If you haven’t had a good Tempranillo Rosé worth acquiring.
I like it as it is not overtly sweet like many Bandol’s & Californians.
The nose shows; blood orange, not quite ripe tangerine, baked rhubarb, strawberries, red not dark cherries, ripe, yellow peach with skin, hints of watermelon at the rind, limestone marl with orange & red flowers.
The palate shows nice viscosity. Blood orange with peel, not quite ripe tangerine, baked rhubarb, strawberries, red not dark cherries, ripe, yellow peach with skin, hints of watermelon at the rind, touch of pink grapefruit, something in between Cointreau & Grand Marnier, sun tea, very soft chalk & white spice, limestone marl with orange & red flowers, rainfall acidity, nicely knitted, a fair amount of tension for an aged Rosé, excellent balance & structured with a smartly polished, elegant, lush finish that lasts nearly two- minutes.
This 2010 is in high cotton and not slowing down. Another 8-10 years with maybe more. Leans into 95.
Pairing; Organic Heirloom tomatoes grown in a greenhouse topped w/ di Stefano Burrata, Spanish Ricon Subbetica Olive Oil, Tondo Balsamic Vinegar (the best period), organic fresh basil, Companion Simple Sourdough Crustini’s. — 4 months ago
Punchy, tangy, tangerine, kumquat, candied lemon. Bright, incredible texture, touch of bitter and mouthwatering, tons of electricity. Layers upon layers of mixed citrus peel, ginger, Cointreau, sultanas, Sicilian almonds. Party and complexity all rolled into one. Wow — 4 years ago
