Santa Maria Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Tropical, pineapple, passionfruit. Excellent! Your tongue awakens with the tropical flavors including ripe white nectarines and orange pith. Good value. Bought at the winery!!!! surprisingly good for a 10 year sauvignon blanc. Tastes alive and fresh! Wow. — 4 months ago

La Bauge Au-Dessus Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir 2019

Quite light ruby , with a wide ruby garnet rim. Quite sweet red fruit at first with some raspberry , strawberry and red cherry notes , dried flowers as well , rose , violet and an earthy note . Quite elegant and precise . On the palate this is again elegant and restrained , very pretty red fruits , juicy but still fresh acidity . Light tannins balanced alcohol . Cherry , raspberry and wild strawberry . Herbal tinged , slightly earthy finish . Drinking very well now and will continue to do so over the next 3-5 years or so — a month ago

"Il Padrino" Bien Nacido Vineyard Syrah 2021

One of Paul Lato's finest. Bien Nacido with a beautiful nose and stone fruits. Inky black out of the bottle. Loads of berries and plum. Classic finish with great length. This could easily keep for another 10. Touché on this one. — 2 months ago

Villa Maria

Private Bin Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

While its name doesn’t sound like an SB from NZ, it sure tastes like one. Pronounced passion fruit, a little green apple, and more lime than other Sauv Blancs. Refreshing and great value at TJs. — a month ago
