Vigna Scarrone Barbera d'Alba 2017

A medium to full body Barbera, showing rich dark color, Violets and plums on the nose and a complex palate.
Seems this is the perfect time to open, tanins are powefull but smooth, one can note the fruits but also layers of forest floor, earth and spices. Very enjoyable.

Trout Gulch Vineyard Chardonnay 2017

Lemon curd and a zesty acidity that lands with some sweetness and then bite.

Pairing with an avocado really mellowed this wine out and made it delicious.

Lots of tension and bright lemon citrus flavor. Touch of lime.

Well-made single varietal cabernet grown near Monte Bello. Smooth blackberry and graphite. Round and medium weight mouthfeel. Less complexity given the single varietal but made with finesse. — 18 days ago

Dolcetto d'Alba 2023

One of my favorite vintners. Lots of good acids and bitey tannins. Some leather, raspberry and cherry, brambles, black pepper, touch of graphite? From Big Nose Full Body. 04/12/25 — 2 months ago

Mount Eden Vineyards

Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir 2020

A little shy at first but really opens up and shows after a couple hours of air. Classic Santa Cruz Mtns Pinot. Earthy. A touch candied. Long finish. Pretty wine. 👍🏼 — a month ago
