What a perfume... Martha McClellan and Wesley Steffens worked in tandem to craft this inaugural release. The fruit is sourced from two estate vineyards farmed on top of Spring Mountain, as well as the Beckstoffer Melrose Vineyard in Rutherford, CA. The resulting wine shows very focused yet fresh and vibrant aromatics, polished tannins with great tension, smooth texture throughout the wine ending with a very pleasing and lengthy finish. This wine will drink very well upon release, as well will continue to reward with aging in the cellar for many years to come. — 4 years ago

@Delectable Wine - This is the Krutz Beckstoffer Melrose Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc from the Napa Valley.
This is 1970s old school barrel-fermented SB. Lots of toast and butter out-competing lively SB tropical fruit and herbal scents. Rich and balanced in the mouth. The way to enjoy this wine is to have no expectations that it will be showcasing any varietal character, and if you can get to that frame of mind it’s a real throwback, and pretty enjoyable in a nostalgic way. — a year ago
Aaah Zinfandel. It’s been a while. Purple paradise indeed. This reminds me of a scene from Melrose place where heather locklear goes into a bar and says “I want something strong and sweet.”. — 4 years ago
