Last bottle of the trip, taken to Napua at the Mauna Lani. Canary gold color, bright and cheery in the glass. Notes of citrus and kiwi, tropical fruit, wet stones, tan spice, vanilla and white acacia flowers. Rich and glycerol in the mouth, matched with serious acidity. Paired perfectly with a nice Onaga fresh catch, which turned out to be the best prepared fish dish of the trip. Young but drinking well. Aloha! — 4 years ago

Big, soft Pinot! As beautiful as a Pinot gets. Enjoyed at Portavino Houston. — 3 years ago
Thankfully it doesn’t remind me of Sauvignon Blanc at all. Ryan thinks it’s too sweet — 4 years ago
My first time with this producer. Very enjoyable and classic. Lemon, limestone, chalk, caramel dipped underripe Granny Smith apple, and a fruit taste I commonly get with Pinot meunier. Not sure if it’s included, but I’d venture to say it has a fair bit. On the lighter side with a fresh bite at the end. — 6 years ago
The finish is velvety just like the label. The 2016 is the best wine in its price range. A friend, Brant, brought it and I thought it should be an $85 wine and a good $85 wine at that. Lots of fruit, dark licorice, blackberries, the nose alone was enough to almost satisfy me but with a nose like that you just have to taste swirl it around to get the full flavor but of course swallow it. Too good to spit it out. Very impressed. This is my new house wine. Going out to buy several cases tomorrow. — 7 years ago

At $3.49 a bottle, this is our daily staple from Trader Joe’s. Mild and full of flavor, an easy daily drinker that we always have around, especially great when entertaining guests. — 6 years ago
Earlier this week, a rep for Crown Point wines hosted a tasting to show off a few of their newer releases. New to me, they are out of Santa Barbara and have the duo of Adam Henkel (former assistant winemaker at Harlan for 8yrs) and Philippe Melka (who came on starting with the ‘15 vintage) making the wines.
This wine is their Estate Selection, which is 73% cab, 16% malbec and 11% merlot. I believe this was the first vintage for this wine. It sports a very soft profile and is made in a riper style. Aromatically it smells of baked boysenberry, fig and mixed berry pie with milk chocolate chips. The ABV is around 15.2% and it shows here. Extracted on the palate with chocolate covered dark fruits, baking spices, nutmeg and Andes mint. — 7 years ago

Really good cab sav someone gave us for engagement, not bitter at all but still rich (in a good way) — 24 days ago
