Benchlands Zinfandel Blend 2021

2021. Always a favorite! Lighter color and body than some of the previous vintages, but great fruit and a little tartness to pair great with pasta 🍝 — 2 years ago

Salus Unoaked Napa Valley Chardonnay 2014

The nose is loaded with fresh apricot, fresh lychee, ripe pineapple, spring flowers, and hints of citrus, grass, and petrol. On the palate there is orange oil, raw cashew, honeycomb, Meyer lemon, dried pineapple, nutmeg, and clove. Finishes with just a touch of heat.

Potrait Series Lucky Cabernet Merlot 2006

This 2006 “Lucky” Bordeaux blend features Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from the esteemed Spring Mountain appellation in Napa Valley, as well as, Merlot from steep-sloped vineyards in the benchlands of west Dry Creek Valley. A dash of Napa Cabernet Franc adds depth and rounds out the blend. And what a blend it is! Dense and concentrated without being over-ripe and heavy-handed, this wine is a tour-de-force of flavors and finesse. — 14 years ago

Mendocino Benchlands Zinfandel-Nero d'Avola Blend 2020

Pretty unusual blend of Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and Nero d’Avola from different vineyards in Mendocino County. Fermented separately and then aged in barrel for 6 months. Beautiful, complex nose with notes of red and dark fruit. Cherry cola, cinnamon and some smoky notes. Fresh, medium-bodied. Tart red fruit, some blood orange. Great acidity. Fun, very enjoyable — 4 years ago

Benchlands Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Smells like synthetic firewood that someone burned some pretty flowers in. Would love to eat this with some olives. This just really makes me want to go camping. S’mores (not necessarily for pairing purposes as much as I just really want to relive my childhood) with a dash of this drinkable bottle would really ring in the summer on the right note. — 7 years ago

Benchlands Petite Sirah Blend 2022

2022. My fourth vintage of this wine and the blend always changes… As the number of grapes in the mix increased, the wine got lighter with a little more acidity. A go to for spaghetti and meatballs and it didn’t disappoint! — a year ago

Salus Estate Booth Bella Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

The MoM group had a rather large line-up of bottles this week, nearly a dozen strong, and not a dud in the lineup. That being said, this was one of three bottles that rose to the top. This arguably had the most interesting and enjoyable nose. A serious wine that would compliment a variety of meals. Impressive. — 7 years ago

Salus Estate Napa Valley Chardonnay 2007

Bid on this at an auction on a whim, got it for half price as it had a damaged label. One of the finest Chards I've had from any country :-) — 11 years ago
