Wound up and young. Med + intensity with good complexity. Flowers, allspice, black and blue fruit. The palate was bright and well structured with firm tannins. Decent finish of cocoa and heat Needs time. #stolpmanvineyards #syrah #santabarbara #california #usa #ballardcanyon #ctbucklinwine — 2 years ago

Med intensity and complexity showing lemon, white mushrooms and orchard fruit. The tiniest touch of rs that is over shown by refreshing. Short finish. #tatomer #riesling #santabarbara #ctbucklinwine — 2 years ago

As reliable and unique as any rose’ out there, foreign or domestic. This is young and bold now, perhaps the boldest of the LF Farm rose’s I’ve had to date. — 2 years ago

Med intensity and complexity on a restrained nose. Fresh orchard fruit and flowers. The palate is where this wine really shows off. Great complexity mixed with depth, power, and restraint. Sweet orchard fruit, Meyer lemon, hazelnut, and flowers. Great balance and length. #wenzlauvienyards #santabarbara #santaritahills #chardonnay #california #usa #ctbucklinwine — 2 years ago

A restrained and old world style with nice aging potential. The nose was well integrated but lacked defining characteristics for me. The palate was ripe with firm but round tannins and present acidity. Graphite along with just ripened black fruit. Opened nicely with time in the glass. #starlane #happycanyon #santabarbara #cabersauvignon #malbec #california #usa #ctbucklinwine — 2 years ago

Very successful #newworld #nebbiolo Pale red. Med + intensity and complexity showing flowers, bright red, leather, and mushrooms. Firm and balanced structure. Great tension and complexity. Med finish that warmed up the throat. Drinking so well now but should age well for a few more years. #palmina #santabarbara #california #usa #ctbucklinwine — 2 years ago

Needs time. A little quiet on the nose and palate right now. Great fruit density along with coco, mushroom, and violets. Firm structure and well balanced with tasty spice on palate. Med finish. #vallin #syrah #santabarbara #wholcluster #california #usa #ctbucklinwine — 2 years ago
