Quaffable #californiapinot blend - 72% #montereycounty, 15% #santabarbaracounty and 13% #sonomacounty. Given some time to breathe wafts up strawberry and faint spices plus a trace of oaky vanilla - I’m digging the ying/yang balance of fruit versus acid but still a bit more oak than my Old World palate prefers. Not a bad value in this price range. — 5 years ago
When I heard Levi Dalton interview @John Lockwood of @enfieldwineco there was the same excitement in his voice as @Hardy Wallace about discovering special vineyards. It was destiny that they'd make a wine together. Now I get to be the excited one. #PinotNoir #Mourvèdre #ChaloneAVA #MontereyCounty #AntleVineyard — 9 years ago
Lush green herb/fruit aromas: lemongrass, key lime, chives. Good viscosity on palate, delicious acidity, more rounded finish. Excellent #montereycounty #sauvignonblanc . — 2 years ago
#montereycounty #sauvignonblanc - Ripe apricot, grapefruit oil, general citrus and subtle tropical white/yellow fruit notes on nose. Richer-mouthfeel, the relatively high ABV is well integrated with a solid frame of acidity. Great example of California SB from Nice Winery. — 3 years ago
@FetzerWine 2016 Shaly Loam Gewürztraminer (SRP $11): Citrus blossom, ripe stone fruit, and peach skin framed by a honeyed sweetness yet balanced by a refreshing acid lift. Nice texture, too. This is a delightfully affordable wine to wash down flavorful spicy dishes like Indian, Thai, and other ethnic cuisine. #Gewürztraminer #winestudio #wine #winelover #MontereyCounty — 7 years ago
CdP-inspired cuvée from #montereycounty. While the southern Rhône may have been their target, the bright red fruit aroma, lovely floral notes on the nose plus crunchy red fruit, bright tartness and medium bodied palate do indeed invoke Cru Beaujolais; agree with @Randy Fuller there. Strong QPR from Costco @ ~$14 presented in a graceful red blend. — 3 years ago
Been very fond of this wine since I started drinking wine oooooh so long ago.

Paired excellent with Italian sausage and penne. Just the right amount of boldness and berry with a smooth finish. (Just when I think I may not find another bottle of wine that I like, @laithwaites surprises me. #redredwine #laithwaites #montereycounty — 8 years ago

I took a gamble on an otherwise limited wine list at a pizza chain restaurant. 🎲 rolled 7 with this #montereycounty #chardonnay. Nothing profound on the aromatics, lemon, stone fruit, touch of butterscotch. Refreshing acidity on the palate entry, nice texture and spice on the finish from temperate use of new oak. We ordered a second bottle. With the acidity it paired nicely with sausage and pepperoni pizza as well as prosciutto and mushroom. — 4 months ago
