Smooth tannins, medium acidity, medium+ bodied. Blackberry, cassis, and violet on the palate, with underlying layer of earthy cloves and anise. Maybe some slight hints of bay leaf and sage as well. Very tasty, although a little lacking in complexity on the palate. Day 2 update: the sage and bay leaf are coming through much more on the palate. It’s a lovely combination with the fruit. — 5 days ago

I think this 2024 vintage is the most aromatic yet for this bottling. Intensely perfumed aromas of peach, nectarine, orange blossom, hint of pineapple and ginger. Lush and soft on the palate yet clean and refreshing. Lovely. — 9 months ago

It’s got the nose of a Douro red, and the it’s got the punch of a Douro red on the first sip. Strangely enough it becomes a more normal rose on subsequent sips. Crisp and clean acidity until a few bitter high notes intrude on the finish. This is my new favorite rose! — 7 months ago

I’ve tasted couple excellent bottles of well aged Pinot from Ashley’s vineyard. This Chardonnay is young but very good too.

The 2022 combines the AVA’s coastal freshness with the vintage’s generous ripeness. Aromas of lemon zest, yellow apple, and grilled pineapple mingle with vanilla, brioche, and a saline breeze. The palate is sleek yet plush, balancing citrus-driven acidity with creamy mid-palate weight. Subtle spice frame a long juicy finish.

This sauv blanc is awesome. Grapefruit, light effervescence and rounded finish. Must stock up! — 7 months ago

A good representation of Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir, this bursts with a juicy core of ripe red cherry, wild strawberry, and a hint of pomegranate with distinct savory undertone of fried herbs and forest floor. Plush and approachable now, but should age well for the next 5-8 years. — 7 months ago

This has evolved nicely since I tasted it couple years ago. Tannins have mellow and it starts to show integration and elegance, though aromatic profile remains pretty much the same. A keeper. — 10 months ago
