Weekly Wednesday Wine Committee. Incredible hosting by Joe. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds, 1 dessert wine, all tasted blind.
Bonus wines. I’ve heard of this and was happy to try. Bibiana from Wayfarer and Jeff Pisoni joint project. Bigger style SB, definitely done in the Bordeaux style. Good amount of semillon to round the edges out. High acidity. Lemon and lime tart, lychee, limestone and saline notes. Oak isn’t as powerful as Aesthete or other notable bigger style Cali SBs, but it’s certainly as flavor packed. Wish I could enjoy one of these stand alone to see how it evolves. — 6 years ago

Luxurious fruit and mouth feel. Nice acid and finish. Magnum — 7 months ago
Really incredible wine. Not paired with any food, the wine is flavorful, quenching w/ oak flavor adding the right dryness and notes of plum & vanilla to finish - really well balanced and opened well. Bottled was empty far too quickly : ) — 4 years ago
Silky and lush with just enough acidity in the front to make it interesting and lively. A really special North Coast gem. — 5 months ago
Oak is taking over. Quite dull next to the Wayfarer — 2 years ago

2023 vintage. Just JUST got released. A tad more tart than previous visits to this destination on different vintages but still true to the producer's style. Visiting again in 6 months would likely garner a 9.2 or 9.3. 04.03.25. — 3 months ago
