Taking its name from the sea and sun – the two forces of nature that shape its character. Pale lemon, aromas of Stone and tropical fruits, with floral and sweet spice notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peach & apricot with lemon zest and toasty vanilla notes. Smooth long finish, well balanced, nice acidity, ending with fruit, vanilla oak and mineral character. Sip’s well now. Pair this with some pan seared white fish. — 7 months ago
This wine is still giving everything wonderful. No sign of any age. Full body. Complex. Lingering finish. I just love that it’s a $30something bottle that can stand next to much more expensive bottles. — 2 years ago
On Sky Princess doing a Caymus wine dinner. This wine was served with the fish course but I didn’t have fish. This was tasty with the cheese course. An ok wine but I’m not a big Pinot Noir fan so I wouldn’t buy this for home tasting. — a month ago
Pleasantly balanced California chard: some that sweet blend of citrus, vanilla and oak on a harmony that sits well and dances on the palette. Great glass, great finish…buy this one in pairs! — 3 months ago
To me good wine stands out from average wine when I can sense three things from it: time, place and intention.
This rustic garnacha clearly carries these three indices.
The top layer of smell is rustic- farm, soil. Sticking my nose in the glass I'm greeted with a maraschino liquor soaked cherry wood barrel.
The palate tells me it's been maturing and mellowing for three quarters of a decade - this is mature but eagerly waiting to be opened. There aren't layers to this- it's straight forward, direct, open and expressive. Elegant in it's simplicity but certainly not posh. Dry, but very much alive, like the garrigues that was once rooted where this vineyard now stands. This is central Spain. — 2 years ago
Actually Sector Red 8, not Adelaide Hills. DELICIOUS. Light but full flavor. Let aerate, swirl around. Serve chilled. Good on day 2. — a month ago

Perfect for washing away the crazy of a weekend moving your demanding mother across state lines along with her many many belongings. Great summer vibes with a hint of honey! — 9 months ago
