Aubaine north of Santa Maria.  
Nose: water on hot brick a bit. 
Palate: very sweet fruit. Fresh. Hint of spice.  Delicious.   — 5 months ago
Reddish in color with medium intensity. 
Nose of ripe cherries, blueberries, plums, currants, light oak, dark chocolates, herbs, light vegetables, earth and black tea. 
Medium bodied with medium acidity. 
Very dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cherries, light oak, spices, chocolates and peppercorn. 
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy pomegranates. 
This Single Vineyard Pinot Noir from Oregon is very young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Tangy and earthy. Complex and nicely balanced. Feels more like Burgundy in style. 
Already drinking nicely, and good right out of the bottle. Gets earthier and spicier as it opens up. 
Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years. 
A good food wine too, and paired nicely with Spanish dry salami and crackers. 
Pinot Noir grapes were aged in (30% new) French Oak barrels for 16 months. A small production of 3,150 bottles.

Medium lemon color, aromas of stone and citrus fruits with floral, honey and spicy notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peach and pear with citrus and floral wrapped in a nutty spice. Long finish, lively acidity, ending graceful with fruit, spice and savory citrus character. Great now! — 5 months ago

This Single Vineyard Chardonnay is easy drinking and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years. 
Dangerously delicious, so watch out. Blink and the bottle is gone.
Fruit forward right out of the bottle, and gets earthier after 30 minutes of airtime. 
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and paired nicely with Brie cheese and crackers, by the pool.

This is a very tasty Pinot Noir from Williamette Valley in Oregon. Smooth and fruit forward. Complex, spicy and interesting.
Feels more like a Russian River Valley Pinot Noir.
Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already very approachable.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.
