Amor Amarillo Renaissance Vineyard Sémillon Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Not many CA semillons floating around. Legendary vineyard! Preserved lemon, nuts, honeysuckle, honey with a bit of spice, hint of vanilla, good funk, great acidity. I keep wanting more. Amazing with point Reyes pierce point cheese. — 3 years ago

Taken From Granite

North Yuba Cabernet Sauvignon 1999

Wow. Dusty, sweet, such pure deep red ripe fruit. Cooked cranberries, granite, spice, lots of energy. Palate is thrilling, palate isn’t quite as complex. A pretty sweetness on the finish but this is so fresh and tart at the same sime. Mature but nowhere near fading.

Finally a cult Cali cab I can get behind!

Hay Penny Mendocino County Rosé 2023

Pretty color of light peach with a salmon tint.

Fruity nose with red apples, tart strawberries, raspberries, cherries, citrus, minerals, sea salt, and light spices.

Medium-bodied with medium-plus acidity. Crisp and refreshing.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, strawberries, citrus, cherries, lemons, apples, light earth, herbs, and sea salt.

Tangy finish with limes and tart raspberries.

This is a very tasty Rosé from the Sierra Foothills in California.

Nice and easy drinking right out of the bottle. Well-balanced and elegant. Neither tart nor bitter, which I liked.

This Single Vineyard Rosé is good by itself as a sipping wine. Tangy and interesting.

100% Syrah whole-cluster grapes were fermented in stainless steel vats.

12.8% alcohol by volume.

North Yuba Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Going strong. This was actually the “Reserve” cab whatever that means…still don’t really understand what their nomenclature was. Regardless, it’s a very strong vintage for the wine with the red fruit still intact, leather and umami rounding out the picture — 3 years ago

North Yuba Sangiovese 1995

Classic Renaissance nose of cherries, cassis, leather and herbs. Palate is drying slightly but still incredibly elegant. Time to drink up but this wine has had quite an arc , and in its heyday was truly great. Maybe not quite at the level of @Pooneet K ‘s Monte Bello from tonite but in the conversation IMO! — 3 years ago
