Lawrence Vineyards Syrah. Rocks minerality and funk. Flowery blackberry on the nose. Jammy and slightly smoky, but not overwhelming. Very smooth. — a year ago

I am so pleased with this sangiovese that I don't believe it myself.
It looks brilliant and transparent
It feels vibrant, irony and smooth
The freshness plays all the game like in a sangio from Tuscany.
It reminds me a bit of a Rosso di Montalcino by Stella di Campalto or a good Chianti from Radda.
I am truly impressed with this wine. — 6 years ago

Pronounced Ho-notta (but Ho-latta is also acceptable). The name pays homage to the 1845 Spanish land grant, Rancho San Carlos de Jonata. At the time the land grant covered a large part of the Santa Ynez Valley. Today’s Jonata is at the heart of the former land grant. The Jonata name was borrowed by the first pioneers from the local Chumash Indian and means “tall oak”. Prior to planting the vineyards, Jonata had the viticultural team from Château Latour do a survey of the 600 acre property to determine which sites would support which types of grapes. Latour returned with a preliminary verdict: plant asparagus. El Desafio! This wine represents Jonata’s defiance and uprising to that challenge. 3 hours open and it’s absolutely stunning... cassis for days... so much mint... and savoriness... and chocolate... so classic Cali Cabernet, but still terroir-driven. — 9 years ago

Beautiful Pinot Noir; slightly stalkiness, mulch, amaro and dark Forrest fruits. Lovely tension and grip with a real thrust in its finish. — 9 years ago

10% abv
Can be served chilled, but i must admit it loses a bit the mineral that is quite irony
Savoury and fairly long
Owen Latta is friend with Joshua Cooper and he is as talented as Joshua
They aim to make Central Victorian wines great again but with a twist.
The potential is obviously there — a year ago

Latta’s first Syrah. I’m guessing of many to come. Funky on the nose, smoked meat on the finish. What’s not to love? — 7 years ago

Damn fine rendition as well. A bit more masculine than the Latta, but still vey representative of what Grenache should be... all red fruits and sandalwood. — 9 years ago

The 2022 Roussanne CB is delicate with white peach, sage and wet stone aromas. It opens with a pleasant inner sweetness, contrasted by crisp mineral tones and crunchy, pithy fruit, all on a medium-weight frame. Candied limes and sour melons linger as the 2022 finishes fresh and saline. $25.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2024) — 2 years ago

On first opening I wasn't sure, and now I've nearly finished the bottle. Savoury, rusty coloured Nebbiolo. Yes it's very very lovely. 2014. — 9 years ago
