Bright cherries and char. Decent amount of minerality. Getting a rubbery quality at the tail end. Chewy and delicious. — a year ago
2020 vintage. A tad earthier than the vast majority of Santa Rita Hills stuff I’ve ripped through. 13.5% ABV. Medium body. The expected SRH prettiness is front-loaded fruit with the dirtiness following on the finish. Excellent concentration and a whopping 75 cases made. — 2 years ago
Northern rhone, cool climate California. Earth, blood, strawberries, boysenberry, menthol, rock. Very good with food. So different from Zaca Mesa I had last night. I like both for different reasons. — 3 months ago
Great Chardonnay. Needed 3+ hours of being open to come together. More bread and hay on nose, tropical fruits, honeysuckle, a hint of citrus. Palate is lively with acidity. Some lemon, honey, brioche, pineapple, tart peach, and a lingering perfume after swallowing. Lovely. — 3 years ago
SYV Syrah from Matteo’s, Peake Ranch and Donnachadh vineyards. The blend is superb as the wine reflects the region perfectly — 3 years ago

2021 vintage. Tasted four times in just over a year. Consistent with body (medium), spice factor (check) and finish (lengthy). Enjoyed yet again with the owner, Andrew. 11.20.24. — a month ago
