Bought this at the winery 2 years ago in Amador County, where it had been a surprise for us. We’d gone out there excited to try Zin and Rhone varietals, and so were surprised that we liked this Cab blend so much. Intense and open and with a bit of complexity and elegance. So good.

Clean, beautiful fruit from Wild Meadow (think M.Shaps)… holding up nicely after eight years… Although the acid has weighed enough to make it difficult for cream based pairing options  — 9 months ago

Opens with nose of fresh churned butter & lemon. Upon first taste, surprised by its sting of citrus leaning towards grapefruit & cleanse of sustained limestone minerality. At this point, I checked the label again to insure its said Chardonnay as Sav Blanc & Viognier was there. It opens up becoming more floral, orange zest but maintains minerality cleanse. Medium body, little oak delicious-“Chablis”! Paired with pan seared chicken breast creamed sundried tomato sauce & gnocchi💥 — 3 years ago

Chega a lembrar um pouco de malbec. Pouco alcoólico, mas encorpado, excelente cheiro de carvalho, gosto mais adstringente. Excelente combinação. Apesar de ser mais encorpado, é bem fácil de beber. Cor entre um cabernet e um pinot noir. Precisa respirar antes. — 7 years ago

I don’t know how many bottles of this I had, but this was my last one. From a remarkably wet vintage, Mark was able to use more PV to add tanning and depth of flavor to really save this build. Ironically, day two was better than day one! Flavors really unfurled as would be indicative of a highly concentrated wine. This was a real education in a bottle. — 4 months ago

90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec, all from Moon Mountain vineyards, resulting in a dark, weighty, grippy, and spicy wine. Put this with a rich dish and it is perfect. Paired in flight with liver pate on toast. — 8 years ago

Excellent examples of wines PERFECT for pairing with food. They specialize in making a wine that is beautifully complex and layered, but when paired with dishes that focus in on 2 or 3 good ingredients, is an ingredient you realize, "Wow, I can't this with out it".

Elegant, supple, soft - meaty weight, thyme, raspberry reduction, red plum skin, clove. — 8 years ago
