2019. This is the long élevage that spent 18 months in neutral French oak. Tart berry/cherry, savory herbs, earthy tannins, and bright acidity. If blind tasted, I’d swear it was French. It was a perfect accompaniment to grilled flank steak and Lebanese zucchini with homemade chimichurri. — a month ago
Fresh & fruity with a little minerality. Really enjoyable with a light summer meal. 🍤🥖 — 4 years ago

Very fresh with still some good fruit. — 6 years ago
Beautiful stone fruit up front, a mellow middle, grapefruit at the end. Almost a little grape lollipop. Perfect start to a Sicilian dinner. Drinkable, a little dry ending and could be brighter. A dip in the ocean. — a month ago

Pretty unusual blend of Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and Nero d’Avola from different vineyards in Mendocino County. Fermented separately and then aged in barrel for 6 months. Beautiful, complex nose with notes of red and dark fruit. Cherry cola, cinnamon and some smoky notes. Fresh, medium-bodied. Tart red fruit, some blood orange. Great acidity. Fun, very enjoyable — 4 years ago
Martha Stoumen and Las Jaras collab. Absolutely crushable. Very lively effervescence, some light cranberry and blackberry notes and a very clean finish. Not sure about the price of admission at $45 a pop but delish nonetheless. — 6 years ago
Nice port-style after dinner wine with subtle coffee aromas. — 6 years ago
