Blend with the local Nebbiolo. Medium–light. Good mountain minerality and a little funky. Tar + roses, graphite, some brambles, lush apple, touch of stewed strawberry, mild tannins and acidity but nice and savory. From Amaro Spirits & Wine. 08/31/21 — 3 years ago
Deep, dark, dense, inky purple with a core as dark as the devil's heart! Notes of blackberries, blueberries, bay Laurel and cinnamon on the nose. Expressive and powerful, deeply extracted ripe fruit, balanced acidity and a flinty, mineral laden finish with a touch of smoke. Spellbinding!!! — 6 years ago
2021 vintage. Not a fan of Sonoma Cabs (excepting the old late 70's-mid 90's Laurel Glen efforts). Exceptional polish and harmony for a great but new vintage release. Medium body. Drinking verry nicely now but should really start strutting its stuff in 3-4 years. A "pretty" Sonoma Cab. 10.30.24. — 24 days ago

***I had no idea such witchcraft existed, but the world is a better place with Granny Z's Hard Iced Tea in it. Believe it or not, but this is actually a white wine flavored with tea. Local PA wine for the win. I see that the winery also has varieties including a mint wine, so I will be adding this winery to my bucket list for sure. I have never seen this at any PA Wine & Spirits store, but I bought two bottles at Wegmans (grocery store) in June of 2018. This was the only variety they carried, but if the others are good as the hard iced tea, I'm in for a treat.
Very sweet and literally tastes like sweetened iced tea. Very refreshing and perfect for hot summer days on the deck. It is easy to forget that this is a wine! Wish I could get this out here in the Burgh, but I guess good things come to those who wait! — 6 years ago

Shows a little of the bell pepper aromas that I often found in older Sonoma Cabs, but nicely balanced fruit that is still quite youthful, tannins have mostly receded, drinking quite well tonight, bravo Patrick for making this gem!! — a year ago
We both really enjoyed this. Recommendation from a worker at Morton Williams Wine and Spirits (Blair) — 6 years ago
