2022 vintage. This was rocking. Medium body. Off the charts nose. Gorgeous dialogue between the levels of concentration and subtleties. 13.0% ABV and 322 cases made. A fave Syrah/Pinot producer from the Santa Ynez Valley/Santa Barbara area and always look forward to their yearly interpretations of the lands. 4.3.24. — a year ago
10% new oak
Nose: plummy dusty.
Palate: darker fruit. More pommard-like. But bright. Very good balance. Hint of balancing bitterness. Very lithe

2018 vintage. Winemaker Matt Brady tames the hedonism of the Santa Rita Hills (only for a spell, don’t fret) and adds a little body, earth and spicefest to this offering. Doesn’t hurt that the juice is from 100% Pommard (muscular/hevvy Pinot) clone. Ruffly, 150 cases made. Find you do, acquire you must. — 3 years ago

I thought this was a great wine. Already showed some fresh cut garden hose characteristics! 13.5%. Classic! Big for a Riesling. Had this at a business function so could not write more notes. Wormwood Restaurant San Diego - is almost sold out. 2 bottles left and at 75$/Restaurant a steal these day’s. Get it while it is still there!!! What a wine. — 25 days ago
