2016. A simply excellent GSM but mouvedre dominant. I originally thought cab but noticed the bottle shape and guessed a GSM, southern rhône. Turns out it’s Santa Barbara and an SQN offshoot. Perhaps my favorite of the Big Island trip. — 4 years ago

Great wine!

DRNK

Wildwood Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc

Always loved Kunde wines from Sonoma so was excited to find this Kunde offshoot that’s highly refreshing Sauv Blanc. Heading back for more of this great buy at TJs that costs 3-4x elsewhere. — 5 years ago

Nice and funky up front with a honey finish. — 2 years ago

Sturm

Friulano 2019

Meant to appeal to the cool kids, this scribbly offshoot is biodynamic but pretty clean overall. Pinot Gris in baby rose' form. Visually appealing - a glint of elegant rose gold. Delicate pear, yellow apple, jasmine flower. Nice round weight and overall pretty pleasant. — 3 years ago

Pennyroyal Farm

Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2013

“Good shit, here.”

I’m not normally a California Pinot fan but Anderson Valley is an AVA I can make an exception for. This Navarro offshoot is a prime example of what Cali pinots can do when done well: low funk and high amounts of fruit. Baked blackberry pie and cloves/other baking spices. Medium weight but a long lingering finish.

Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay 2015

Absolutely insane! One of the best white I’ve ever had. White burg in style but has the minerality and subtle sweetness you get from Aussie Chards. Hoping to acquire more. Reminded me of the Hunter’s Offshoot I loved in London. — 3 years ago

Kistler

SWK Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

This is from Occidental, the offshoot of Kistler for solely Pinot Noir. Nose of red fruit & minerals, body of cherry, minerals and a hint of orange peel with deep long finish — 4 years ago

La Voix Here And Heaven 2016

Wow. Totally surprised by this wine. As I understand it, La Voix is an offshoot from Steve’s flagship operation, Palmina (the best Italian varietal-based wines outside of the Old Country, IMHO). I was a bit skeptical at first - was concerned about it being over-oaked like the one vintage of John Alban’s Perra Docs North offerings that I’ve had - but this is terrific (and an amazing QPR). Definitely has an old-world flare to it in terms of acidity and minerality (more Chablis than Burgundy), but with CA fruit through and through. Do yourself a favor and try one of these! — 4 years ago
