We had the 2018 Vintage on 4/10-11/24. Dark garnet in color. Black cherry and cinnamon on the bouquet. Black cherry, cardomom and baking spice on the palate. A fruit forward wine. Tannins smoothed out. Nice mouth feel. Very good. A little different from the 2019. Bought at the Carmel tasting room — 22 days ago
We had the 2010 Vintage on 4/30/24. A good Brunello with a bouquet of red berries and eucalyptus. The palate has tastes of red cherry, raspberry leather and oak. The tannins smoothed out over time. The wine got better over the years I have owned this. — 3 days ago
We had the 2018 Dry Creek Valley Sonoma County on 4/13-14/24. A nice Cab. Tastes of plum, blackberry, mocha and pepper. A medium to full bodied wine. Could pass for a Cab from Napa. Good effort from a winemaker known for Pinot Noir. — 19 days ago
We had the 2012 Vintage on 4/1/24. A classic Napa floor Cab with tastes of blackberry, blueberry, mocha and kirsch. The bouquet had cedar and black fruit. Full bodied and fruit forward. Very good — a month ago
We had the 2014 for Passover on 4/22/24. Sure beats Manischevitz. Full bodied, New World, fruit forward. If blinded, would think this would be a California Cab. Tastes of blackberry, plum and oak. Pretty darn good. — 11 days ago
We had the 2019 Clone 3 PN on 4/19-20/24. An excellent PN with tastes of black cherry, Asian spice and cinnamon. Wonderful mouth feel. Classic for SLH. — 12 days ago
We had the 2022 Vintage on 4/9-10/24. Some lemon and citrus. Too much acid. Just not a good Chardonnay. Too many better options — 22 days ago
We had the 2018 Vintage on 4/3-4/24. The taste profile changed to more lemon and pineapple. Some oak and vanilla for sure. Full bodied. What did not change is the rating of being an average Chardonnay. This is fine, there are many better offerings — a month ago

We had the 2021 Vintage Chardonnay on 5/2-3/24. Tastes of lemon, apricot and vanilla. An acidic bouquet but a full bodied flavor. Not bad, Moshin has done better. — 14 hours ago
