Sipping Fine Wine

9.3

Inspired by “mixed blacks” first made by Italian immigrants originally settling in Napa, blend of Zinfandel, Cab Sauv, Petite Sirah, Syrah & Charbono. Deep Ruby aromas of berries and complex spice. Aged 30% on new oak, combo of French/American barrels. Palate shows big flavors of cherry, blueberry & raspberry, bold spice lively acidity, vanilla & cedar notes, good balance. Fine tannins, long finish. Nice, cellar this for a while. Note, ‘17, bigger & bolder than ‘16. — 18 days ago

One of my go tos.... See past reviews.
On open, you'd swear it was jammy with excess sugar. Let it sit for 45 min plus, and it all settles into a big fruit cab.....

I popped and poured, and was initially disappointed. But after 3+ hours open and a 30 minute chill in the fridge, this really came alive. Perfumed raspberry, tart, herbal and elegant. Had it with homemade cashew chicken, and the acidity really cut through the sweetness of the dish. Love the bottle design with an outrageous amount of wax 😱 — 20 days ago

It's a blend, but Chardonnay is definitely dominant. Nice acidity and minerality up front, with a long structured finish of pear and spiced baked apple. Prominent oak and some nuttiness. Good with roasted chicken and welcoming Fall, but don't serve too cold. The 2017 vintage doesn't disappoint. — a month ago

A nice blend though Paraduxx and others exceed this IMHO. October 2019. — 5 days ago

Might be the best California chard I've tried. Yes, it's big on flavor and oak, but still very balanced and fresh thanks to some acidity. Very long mineral finish with baked apple and peach. A good one for early Fall evenings. — 16 days ago

Very full for a white (15.14% ABV). Honey, melon, pineapple, and vanilla oak. Close to a Chardonnay style with a long floral finish. Blended with Viognier. — a month ago
