One of of my favorite vineyards in CA and a gem in Turley’s portfolio. Spanning 1890s to 1900s plantation of some very unique varietals, this always has a signature to it that I don’t always find in field blends. Rich in body while always maintaining beautiful texture and liveliness. Aromatics are always unique and compelling in their own right. I used to think this would be best at 10-15 year mark but the more I try it I think this site drinks its best at the 3-5 year mark from vintage. — 5 years ago
Really good! Paid $21/ bottle — 4 years ago
Intense aromatics of Caramel, vanilla, coconut and banana (almost like the sugarcane is picking up other plants in the vicinity!). Very very mellow on the palate and dangerously drinkable. A bottle of this between friends could disappear very quickly. Under no circumstances put anything but a block of ice or a little water with the rum. Coca Cola is a hanging offence with a rum as smooth and flavoursome as this. Purchased this in Europe in 2018 and now trying to track down a bottle in Australia. — 5 years ago

I love a good Blackberry wine and this one does not disappoint!! A full-bodied, black fruit flavors that cleanses the palate with a strong blackberry forward taste and subtle notes of raspberries too on the tip of the tongue with sweetness. This would be fabulous paired with some chocolate or even cheeses. — 10 months ago
