Deep purple in color; cedar, dried figs, and black cherries on the nose; medium acidity; medium tannins; tastes like blackberry jam, a hint of chocolate, and wet gravel with a long peppery finish. Nellie says is fine. I like it, but there's a little too much oak. Still a really good wine. — 3 years ago
Very smooth and fruity Pinot. — a year ago
Beautiful gewurtz that paired nicely with a dinner of spicy, smokey, and citrus sushi and wagyu beef dishes.
Pale golden yellow. Beautiful aromatics of honeysuckle, nectar, apricot and lychee. Features a medium sweet and fruit forward palate with tropical fruits, starfruit, apricot, mango, and peach. Underlying it all is a slate and mineral component, like petrichor. Good acidic structure. — 3 years ago
Highly underrated Alsace Riesling. — a year ago
2022 vintage. This was rocking. Medium body. Off the charts nose. Gorgeous dialogue between the levels of concentration and subtleties. 13.0% ABV and 322 cases made. A fave Syrah/Pinot producer from the Santa Ynez Valley/Santa Barbara area and always look forward to their yearly interpretations of the lands. 4.3.24. — 2 years ago
2018 vintage. Winemaker Matt Brady tames the hedonism of the Santa Rita Hills (only for a spell, don’t fret) and adds a little body, earth and spicefest to this offering. Doesn’t hurt that the juice is from 100% Pommard (muscular/hevvy Pinot) clone. Ruffly, 150 cases made. Find you do, acquire you must. — 3 years ago

10% new oak
Nose: plummy dusty.
Palate: darker fruit. More pommard-like. But bright. Very good balance. Hint of balancing bitterness. Very lithe
