We had the 2012 Hyde Vineyard Chard on 12/18/15. Really good with tastes of apricot, light oak and some vanilla. Smooth finish with no bite. Well balanced. Would buy more. — 11 years ago

Deep Ruby with aromas of red berry fruit, tea and sweet herb spices. On the palate ripe cherry and blueberry flavors, with some dried fruit notes, oak, pepper spices and vanilla tones. Fine tannins with balanced acidity carry this rich wine to a long finish. Will age well. — 4 years ago
Delicious savory red wine - had at Waypoint. Described by server as tomato & basil flavor! — 5 years ago
This Cabernet is a bit different for Napa. It had remarkable depth and deep concentration of dark red fruit and Cocoa notes with a fairly light Tanic structure. Didn’t get any of that zing, any of that slight bitter but it still wasn’t flabby. Didn’t catch any hint of green or herbs at all but finished with some dried violet flavors. — 5 years ago
Big powerful extracted structured Pinot but not flabby or overripe. Smoky. Pretty great with BBQ. — 9 years ago

#Wine If silk was wine then this would be it. Beautifully delicate with a floral aroma that is just perfect. Dark cherries, tannins, medium body. Thoroughly enjoyed by all the family. The aroma was perfect and the silkiness the best surprise ✨

This honjozo, polished to 65%, reflects a clean pure style of sake, with white mountain flowers on the nose. It has a wonderful clean and soft silky texture. The cleansing acidity also provides good structure and there is a subtle fruitiness with hints of mango, peach and pineapple.

For hundred of years the town was a waypoint and resting place for travelers between the two cities. Sekiya Brewery was established because of the clean water from the mountains and the thirsty travelers crossing the mountains. Now it is a state-of-the-art sake brewery with a tasting room and sake-focused restaurant built out of an ancient farmhouse in town as well.

This is Bell Road Vineyard Petite Sirah. Big heavy bottle. Dark color of boars blood. Smells like rotting maple leaves, maple sugar and black berry sauce. Tastes like licorice, molasses of pomegranates or mulberries, and smoked stuff (peppers or meats). This is high quality Petite S. Lively and lovely. — a year ago
