Thatcher Bay Vineyard Merlot 2010

High quality Merlot. The intensity in aroma and flavor after ten years is impressive. Well balanced, good fruit, tannins, well integrated. Slightly brickish in color. Really delicious wine. — 5 years ago

del Arroyo Zinfandel

Wow. This is an amazing zin. Rich fruit with blackberry, with a bit of leather. I'm mostly a earthy cab and Rioja lover, so this surprised me. Someone gave us a bottle and since I was in SF for the weekend I went the tiny winery in Livermore and bought a case. — 7 years ago

del Arroyo Vineyard Petite Sirah 2013

A very nice Petite Syrah that was part of our wine club allotment from Wine Steward in Pleasanton, Ca. Full bodied with a deep concentration of fruit. Would definitely buy again — 6 years ago

Yikes on #5! At that price point I would have expected better.

@Carl Fischer i think it was off. It was a non-labeled bottle from the estate. I've had the 2012 and this was nothing like it
