San Diego based, with stints in the Rheingau Valley and Burgundy. Wine is good for the soul.
A new project by Dave Phinney. Classic Pinot with nice cherry aromas and crisp acidity. — a month ago
Pear and pineapple aromas. Good acidity. Good Santa Barbara stuff. — a month ago
Bright Tempranillo, opening up quickly to layers of red and black fruit and some nice cassis notes. Grippy tannins. Great value at 20 bucks. WE 94 points seems a bit high. — 11 days ago
Smooth and balanced Napa cab. Mellow tannins. — a month ago
78% cab, 22% Petit Verdot. Beautiful nose, velvety mouth feel. Elegant and complex. I am more impressed with this blend than previous vintages. But it may also just have aged a bit more. Delicious at 5 years. — a month ago
Willamette Valley Pinot. Bright and fresh with cherry aromas. Crisp acidity. — 25 days ago
