My favorite producer from the central coast who specialized in Rhone blend. Unfortunately they have to wind down the business at the end of this year.
The reserve is the flagship bottling and received at least 95 points from Jeb Dunnuck every vintage since 2012. The 18’ is bold yet elegant, like the previous vintages I’ve tasted. Dangerously delicious now, I would hold this for at least another 4-5 years if I have the patience.
