Estate Cuvée Schultze Family Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015

Light ruby hue. Aromas of cherry, cream, grass, minerals, and smoke. Medium-light body, soft tannins, and plus acidity. Bright and balanced with a lasting finish. A little tight at first, but softens after opening a while with hints of vanilla on the palate. — 4 years ago

Special Burgundian Clone Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir 2005

Drinking beautifully with soaring aromatics and a complex melange of scents and flavors including orange zest, sandalwood, forest floor, and exotic spices. Gorgeous wine. These Windy Oaks Pinots age so gracefully. — 6 years ago

Khikhvi 2018

By the glass with lunch, no formal notes. First time ever trying Khikhvi and I can imagine this is how wine was made 1000 years ago. Obviously extended skin contact with a copper salmon color. Funky fresh nose and complex on the palate with all sorts of interesting fruit and non-fruit things going on. Acid and tannin providing good structure. Certainly a change of pace and quite enjoyable actually. — 6 years ago

Vineyard Designate Series Windsor Oaks Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Dark black / red edges. Dark cherry & blackberries with currants. Long legs & pleasing tannins on the finish. Excellent pairing with grilled aged Rib-In Ribeye. Great for 40th wedding anniversary. Looking forward to next bottle on 45 anniversary. — 7 years ago

Staglin Family Vineyard

Booth Bella Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Well that was a weird bottle. Smelled amazing and tasted very off, no TCA or anything like it, difficult to describe. It had a layer of very tart tannin-like overlaying flavor that was not good. Left it open for 24 hours and it was much improved. After 48 hours it was a nice bottle of CA cab. Clearly something off with this bottle and the 9.2 rating is a 9.1 from day 3 and some add for ‘not typical’. I had high hopes for this wine and don’t think I have had a fair sampling of it — 5 months ago

Windsor Oaks Vineyard Mourvedre 2013

Juicy and bolder than the ‘12, but still plenty of acidity and loads of red pomegranate,red currant, and other red fruits. Stone notes, too. This is a terrific addition to a dinner. — 7 years ago

9.2

A savory juicy textured herbal food pairing champ. Like cooking sous-vide with an immersion circulator, what was once a geeky oddity has found a permanent home on our table. Not a universal solution, but really the right tool for the job in certain situations. Like pan seared halibut with fennel or spring vegetable risotto. — 8 years ago
