2018 vintage. Last tasted 11.6.24 (9.4). The overt brightness dimmed somewhat and focus now on the weightier, oaky aspects. In a state of transition. 3.21.26. — 3 months ago

2016 vintage. Quite a bit of zip and spice on the finish currently but tight. Needed a decant and two hours of quiet time by itself before going on stage. 3.18.23. — 3 years ago

Generally not an Anderson Valley fan as I usually find it a light impression of the Santa Lucia area (which I'm not a fan of either). Jeff did a really nice job with this tho...lacking concentration on the finish but otherwise, really pleasant and promising. — 5 years ago

Liking the 2015 SBs. Big rich tart red fruits. More restrained than the last bottle I had from this producer (different vineyard) — 8 years ago

2021 vintage. Last tasted 4.23.25 (9.4). California Chassagne-Montrachet. Fleshy with the appropriate/tensile acidity, oak and fruit trifecta. As usual, ridiculously underpriced. Hit it if you're lucky enough to locate. 12.10.25. — 6 months ago

2012 vintage. Lots of blue fruit in the nose. Light/medium body. Seamless throughout the palate. Slightly dusty/peppery on the finish but an enduring "too much beauty" motif. Too pretty/pageant contestant to accurately rate. Drinking very very nicely now tho. — 8 years ago

2021 vintage. Eschewing acidity but not quite flabby. Interesting but one glass would be enough for me. 4.23.26. — 2 months ago

2022 vintage. New btg Chard. Starting in Jan. Nice balance with a bit of everything. There may be some Jeff Gaffner from Saxon Brown involvement...12.18.25. — 6 months ago

9.3

2017 vintage. Lighter color along with light-medium body. A bit dirty about the collar and slightly unkempt. Inexpensive for the quality. Tobacco, dirt and red fruit flitting here and there. Definitely not your average, Sonoma plushy/rich, fruit-bomb. 01.15.25. — a year ago

Another great Saxon brown expression of chard. Lively, malo action going on, orange rind and some spice with a few floral hints. — 4 years ago

Building on my history of never experiencing a bad Saxon bottle from Justin. PnP and opened more as the night progressed. Classic black and blue Rhône-blend fruit notes with smokey tobacco and anise. Great balance between the tannins and bright fruit, with a lengthy finish. — 7 years ago
