Oh this is a California plus plus. Like the ripeness and go get them TIGER-ness of this says California. BUT with a touch of dahhhhhling I do not give an f this is what I want...which is to say this is new world vibrancy with old world attitude. Acid high, fruit ripe (melon apple tropical) and so on. Also just...stellar I need to taste more Lieu Dit — 21 hours ago

Terrific varietal flavor, well balanced, delicious by itself or as a food wine. A bit more concentration and it would be at least 9.0. — 11 hours ago

Planted in 1971, the fruit was selected from the oldest section of Sanford & Benedict Vineyard. Aromas of berry fruit with subtle floral and spice, aged for 22 months in new French oak. On the palate raspberry and cherry fruit flavors, a bit crisp with light oak tones. Firm tannins, a bit tight, lingering, ending with mineral notes. Very nice, but needs a bit more time. — 17 days ago

Fun afternoon at Classic with great company. Glad you could join us Bryan.

Brett with bandaid upfront on the nose. Very underripe fruit. Tart. Barnyard. Herbal with little to zero savory notes. Some iron too. Tobacco wrapped licorice. Still some great acidity. Not getting any better, so drink up. — 16 days ago

This is the first Pinot produced from this Kendall Jackson vineyard named after Jess Jackson’s daughter, Julia. A fruit forward wine with tons of fruit aromas, herb and oak notes, aged for 12 months in French oak, 25% new, making this wine fresh and vibrant good for drinking now, and some short-term aging. The 2016 was a good year with an early harvest with perfectly ripe fruit. On the palate, strawberry and cherry flavors with baking spice and gentle oak. Fine tannins, lingering ending with fruit and subtle spice character. Tasting Sample! — 13 days ago
