San Diego based, with stints in the Rheingau Valley and Burgundy. Wine is good for the soul.

Very delicious bright Nebbiolo, layers of red fruit, balanced acidity, total food wine. At $22 or so a real steal. I will buy more. Fantastic value. Might up the rating next time. — 2 months ago

Had this left bank once before. But this vintage shows much better. Layers of red and black fruit. Some gravel and leather. Classic BDX style. Yum. — 7 days ago
