Diora Pinot Noir from Monterey. Rich depth of black fruit nuances from Santa Lucia Highlands. Decanted to let it open up. Very enjoyable. — 2 months ago
2021 vintage. No 2020 made for obvious reasons and only 90 cases of the 2019 vintage made so realistically not in the marketplace. 2018 (9.6) yielded a whopping 152 cases. 2021 was slightly more prolific but not exactly easy to run into. Same eternal, quiescent pace and style as the 2018. The rare Napa Cab effort inviting conversation versus attempts to dominate/control/stifle it. You can keep all your assorted vintages and producers of Beckstoffer This and Thats. I'll take this, any vintage, over any interpretations/producers of that, any time. And, frankly, once you taste it, you likely will too. @me with your impressions. 01.29.25. — 2 days ago
Did not match up to the Kapcsandy. Nice but not as rich and plush as I remember. — a month ago
Parfait! Le soleil toscan fait de jolis miracles! La vanille , bien boisé dans bel équilibre!

My gosh. Big, dark red. Velvet, soft, dark wonderful fruits. Slight touch on the tongue on the finish. Was wonderful with a marbled Wagyu — a month ago

Thank goodness. No pre-ox on this wine. Have been burned by a lot of Williams selyem chards
But this wine had the dark golden hue yet no pre ox. Very fresh and gorgeous
Like the best WS chards - this tastes nothing like typical California Chardonnay and is more like a chateaunuef de pape Blanc
Fantastic melon and stone fruit flavors.
Minimal oak and a good acidity that gives you a bit of heat / alcohol but not too much.
Really enjoyed this wine with salmon and caviar. — 6 days ago
