Yolo County Petite Sirah 2020

I can’t put my finger on why I don’t love this wine. It has a nice grippy finish and is not too fruity. Maybe it’s the cough syrupy finish to it that doesn’t feel so great. — 3 months ago

Yolo County Tempranillo 2020

The flagship wine for this winery. Temp from Winters. Dark pretty color. Smells good. Spices and soils. Cherry sauce on meat. Flavors are nice. Juicy. Ripe. Hint of barbecue. Plenty of tannins. Finish is complex and makes one ponder. — 6 months ago

Yolo County Albariño 2022

Whimsy on the label. Color is great. Sorta glint of gold in the silvery shimmer. Smells of lemon peels and apple-pear juice. Hint like Sauv Blanc. Flavors are balanced and smooth. Slightest of sweet with plenty of Meyer lemon and Oro Blanco grapefruit. Citrus in spades. Tannins are strong and pleasing to finish. This is still a winner. Maybe not as stunning as it was the first couple times I had it, but a perfect wine with white meats (including fish), shoshitos and lighter cheeses. — a year ago

Yolo County Tempranillo 2016

Deep dark, extracted color of night. Smells like cream, berries and rocks. Flavors are excellent. Woodsy, fruit-full, robust. This is a wine that goes great with food. I had strong cheese with crackers. Washed down great. — 4 years ago

Rock Wall Wine Co.

The Palindrome California Tannat 2016

Aged Yolo County Tannat. With a whimsical name. Dark color with a rusty edge. Smells a bit funky. Spike of berry liquor. Hint of wood chips. Flavors are very heavy on the black currant with a hint of plummy-ness. Might be a bit past perfection. Not as much as much tannin and funk as some Tannat, but has plenty of style. Drinks a bit like a French wine. Wonder who is using these grapes now that Rockwall is out of business? — 6 months ago
