Pretty consistent with the 22 vintage. Tart, fresh, raspberry, a little bitter and herbaceous towards the end. Slightly less abv at 12%

Follow up: By day 3, it’s not good anymore. — a month ago

An excellent sparkling wine from Carneros. 96% Pinot Noir and 4% Chardonnay sparkling wine made in the traditional method. Hard to find but well worth the search. Love everything from Crocker & Starr — 3 years ago

Another special gem from Oakville. Rudd produces some stellar wines and this Samantha is a shining example of a Cab that is coming into its own. Still would improve on the shelf for another 10+ years. — 4 years ago

Big, beautiful Cab. Dark and dry, approachable now but should age nicely. — 3 years ago

Pretty red and rainier cherries. Nothing complex, but enjoyable and doesn’t taste like a 14er. — 4 years ago

Star bright yellow gold. Abundant nose of tropical fruit bubble gum. The medium palate expands the nose to kumquat, underripe papaya, citrus rind, and creamy white pepper along with numerous other yellow fruit and white spices that dart in and out. Medium plus acidity makes this a wonderful main course dinner white. Fantastic! Drink now or a couple of years on. — 9 months ago
