Very nice, more structure than the 3000 Rosas, fuller body, could be mistaken for non rose — 2 years ago

Found this gem winery when we visited Santa Maria Valley. Lovely Chardonnay with subtle pear, apricot, stone fruits and a light acidity. The finish has some length. Will visit again. — 4 months ago

Incredible finish. Tastes like a Douro, Touriga, but has a very delicate and lingering finish. Love love! — 3 years ago

A classic Pinot with bright red fruit supported by earthiness in the background. It was more than a warming note to our Santa Maria tri trip. — a year ago

9.2

Nice to taste this Santa Maria Valley bottling alongside the Sta. Rita Hills one. Riper, darker fruits profile but there is still freshness here. Oak is more prominent. Earthier as well with light mushroom and tea leaf notes. Plush palate.
This is a more complex and deeper wine. But I prefer the Sanford bottling slightly. — 2 years ago

9.0

Blend of Santa Maria Valley and Sta. Rita Hills vineyards, Ruby with aromas of red fruits and spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and currants with tea and spice, good balanced and structure. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit character. — 3 years ago
