Nice deep purple color, vibrant dark berry/cherry aromas with a hint of shrubby, funky, forest…brilliant hit of vibrant acidity, with medium weight or gravitas on the attack. Really balanced example of California Syrah w/o running the risk of high ABV or “jammy” viscosity. Fine on it’s own, but perfect foil with Paulina Market seasoned steak burgers, Mac and cheese, and late harvest MI sweet corn. Drinks like Fall —-and football. — 2 years ago

One of my favorite accessible, all purpose Cali Chardonnays on the market right now. Summer night jasmine and faint vanilla, honeysuckle and lemon curd aromas. The subtlest hint of Chablis-like salinity. Light to medium body. Some white peach nectarine creeping in on the finish. Creamy - but more like 2% milk than butter. What it lacks in flavor complexity and finesse it makes up for with zest, precision and balance. Paired with weeknight-whatever’s-left-in-the-fridge carbonara. — 4 years ago

Mother Mary of God! Near Pomerol like. Charles Hendricks masterpiece. Menthol & a touch of mint.
Stunning vintage & wine.
