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.

90 points.

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. — 2 years ago

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! — 3 years ago

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 — 2 years ago

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

Cherry, plum, soil tones, leather. Gotta remember to pop these every so often because I bought so damn much of this wine and, as long-lived as these bottles are, they won’t last forever. Reliably delicious — a year ago

A gift from the past becomes magic of the present, in the hands of @ownrooted. This is a pitch-perfect interpretation of Pais / Listan Prieto, the grape brought north from Mexico by Franciscan friars and planted so religiously (had to do it) at the outposts they established that it simply became known as the Mission grape. At its best, and make no mistake, this bottle is among that company, it offers bright strawberry and sour cherry fruit married to dried floral and herbal notes and shot through with electric minerality. Unbelievably refreshing and delicious. These bottle are crazy scarce, I think my annual allocation as a long time mailing list member is merely one (1), but if you can get your hands on one, it will be worth it. — 3 years ago
