Cherry, not tannic. Very earthy and dark finish. On the jammy side. Very nice wine. — 4 days ago

Ensemble Lock Vineyard Petit Verdot Blend 2015

Ming L
9.0

The 15’ bottling sees Petit Verdot leading this Bordeaux blend at 32%, with 26% CS, 26% Merlot, 13% CF, and 3% Malbec.
Complex and deep nose of blackberry, cassis, fig, dry pine cone, dark soy source, butterscotch, thyme, black pepper, with hint of violet. The palate, while delicious and smooth, lacks the depth I expected. Finely grained tannins lead to a long peppery finish.
377 cases made. — 5 years ago

Lock Vineyard Improv Red Blend 2015

Ming L
8.9

The 2015 Improv is a rich and brooding wine compared to the 2014 vintage that I can remember. Blackberry jam, stewed plum, burnt brown sugar, cedar, vanilla, and light herbs. Big body and dense texture. Wish for a brighter acidity, but the depth of flavor and lingering long finish more are more than made up for it.
47% Merlot, 29% Petite Sirah, and 24% Petit Verdot. — 6 years ago

Not a fruity nose, woody. Pronounced spice, dark fruit and lots of flavors but not as balanced as we're accustomed to from this winery. — 7 months ago

Petite Sirah 2015

Ming L
9.0

Voluminous and layered, this wine pretty much stayed unchanged since I last had it about 2 years ago. The sweet and dense fruit core is especially impressive.
Every bottling coming out of this winery is well crafted. Highly recommended. — 6 years ago

Rendition Lock Vineyard Red Blend 2016

Ming L
9.0

From magnum. Switching in between the 2016 cab and this Rhone blend, I actually like this better. Though not overly complex, the delicious red and blue fruits, gentle acidity, and silky tannins were seamless. Throwing in the sense of earth, here we have a subtle and elegant bottle. — 6 years ago
