I love his wines and I guess lucky for me was added to his e-mail list a decade ago. This wine has now typicity aka terroir which comes from this vineyard (the vines are getting older he started out when they were quite young). Pear/honey on the nose - tons of acid, meyer lemon, sour mandarine on the back palate very restrained fruit. Not tropical or floral at all. Sharp clean and crisp. Almost steely. Very burgundian in style - folks would have a very hard time to identify this as CA in a blind tasting. 2 Puncheons produced and just 12.9%! (His Watson Ranch {napa}is my #1 but allocated followed by Heron Lake {wild horse valley}. Those 23‘s I will review in the future. — 9 days ago

This $10 bottle is a winner. Light maroon color with red berries and beautifully balanced tannins. Finish was nice too and even better with food. — 4 years ago

We had the 2017 Vintage on 9/22-13/25. This is a nice CA PN. Scents and tastes of red cherry, raspberry and cinnamon. Silky mouthfeel. Would buy more — 2 months ago

Solid but I think it needs some time for the oak to settle down — 10 months ago

Normally I don’t like tropical fruit notes, but this was very nice. The finish was long and everything was very balanced. — 4 years ago
