Napa Valley Winemaker (2025- Bin To Bottle)
Fresh, hint of good mineral fun, tons of flavor and great texture — a month ago
Ripe. Rich aromatics for the varietal, some weight behind the sugar. Could use some acid. Worked great with Orange Chicken. — 2 months ago
Napa Cab, no more, no less.
Red fruit, full bodied, a very silky example. Very pleasant, a bit boring. — 3 months ago
Fat and round for a Chablis, creamy, good acid, ripe lemon aromatics — 22 days ago
Third time having this vintage, great every time, but I think this the end of its lifespan. Fresh apple has turned to baked apple, it’s always had some brioche and toasty notes, fabulous mousse and fine bubbles. Today a touch bitter to start (a bit unusual for this wine) but character went away. — 2 months ago
Pretty, estery, thin, nice acidity. This is what I’m crossing my fingers for when I pay $10 for a Pinot Grigio. — 3 months ago
Creamy, fresh, lemon, brioche, great mousse. — 24 days ago
I’m just matching the other ratings so the winery doesn’t suffer because I opened this too late. Fat, ripping acidity on the palate but aromatics are reduced to caramel. Freshness is gone. — 2 months ago
Took a while to open up and went through some weird evolutions on it’s way there, but once there it was great- full bodied, rich, ripping acidity, great pallet presence, with lime and crushed oyster seashell flavor. — 3 months ago
