Still young for my tastes but checking in on a go-to producer. Killer with King Crab Salad sandwiches 🥪
This bottle was a bit slow out the gate and needed some air to reveal the magic inside. This bottle was a pick up from Corti Bros when passing through Sacramento via Tahoe.
Finesse, and beautifully prolific white wine structure all the way throughout.

One hour decant(little cloudy sediment). A stellar inky ruby red color. On the nose: creme brulee, blackberry, forest floor, dark cherry, leather. Taste: dark cherry, pepper, tea, charcoal with a beautiful chocolate graphite long finish. A elegant, rich mouthfeel and full body wine that is aging nicely.
Vinified in Sacramento!! With grapes from Napa To Kalon...small production at a great price if you can find it. — 5 years ago
So I went into Total Wine In Sacramento,.last night of a week long business trip, thinking maybe they'd have a nice Barbera or Ridge Zin, and came out with this. Obviously too young, but jam packed with berries, game. Lovely floral finesse and lift. Just pure class. Made my week. — 6 years ago

A gift from a friend and my first taste of a "luxury branded wine designed to fit your lifestyle"(their marketing 😂)....I might not be their target customer since I live in a small bungalow home in Sacramento, but I'll give it the ole swirl/sniff/sip/spit anyways.
1 hour decant (lots of cloudy sediment). On the nose: very aromatic notes of black cherry, nutty vanilla, charcoal, cedar, floral. Taste: smooth, silky, rich teeth staining wine with blackberry pie, licorice, black currants, dark chocolate, pepper and a LONG dry finish.
Not feeling the luxury, just a well made Napa cab like a couple hundred others out there. Cheers!
Tusk..."because there are those who regard luxury and those who live it"...sounds like a deodorant commercial tag line😆 🤣 — 2 years ago

Surprised how much I enjoyed this one. Had an extra night after kid sports in Sacramento so ran to Mustard’s for dinner. Enjoyed both the wine and the meal. — 11 days ago
