Founder's Ranch

Viña Errazuriz

Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1986

medium ruby with quite wide terracotta rim . Quite light spice filled nose at first , allspice , clove , nutmeg with some liquorice and herbal , tobacco and red plum touches. On the palate a bit leaner than the 1993 , but light dried red fruits, sous bois , tobacco and herbal notes. Good length, really nice balance and intensity with fresh acidity and melted sweet tannins . This is still showing well and can last perhaps a further 5 years or so . Quite elegant and classic in style . — 2 days ago

Campbell Ranch Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

First of all Kudos to Ant Hill love the wax seal over cork! Deep Ruby with aromas of dark Berry fruits with notes of herbs, citrus, floral and earthy spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry, tea, vanilla and herb tones, well balanced with acidity. Firm fine tannins on a long finish ending with fruit and floral herb character. Very nice! Will age well! — a month ago

Dutton Ranch Chardonnay 2004

Fully developed, showing its age. Lots of mushroom and umami. I prefer my Chardonnay on the younger side but for something with age, it was interesting and not flat — 9 months ago

I am a huge fan of his Rieslings and have been for a long time. One of the bottles which i will actually take back to Germany just for fun. And as a reference for CA riesling.

Yes, his Rieslings are probably my favorite in California. This one showed beautifully last night with a delicious Chinese dinner.
