Meeresboden Vineyard Grüner Veltliner 2025

2025 vintage. $17 a bottle resto cost. Yeah, that's all. Underpriced and underrated. Two cases please and that'll last us 1.25-1.5 years. 7.8.26. — 12 days ago

Colson Canyon Vineyard Syrah 2022

Nice Syrah, if inconsistent. One sip lasts for days, the next is short. But on the whole, juicy and plush, with blackberry, plum, and candied orange — 8 days ago

Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019

Big ol’ Pinot… if by name only

Heavy body….. deep ruby color.
Musty, earthy nose
Powerful Friit - maybe black cherry
A touch earth / bitter lingers. A touch of oak.
Zin / Cab vibes
Nice glass of wine…

Twelve Clones Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir 2018

Light purple in color with light intensity and a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, light flowers, spices, light oak, licorice, tobacco and black pepper.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with sweet raspberries, cherries, red currants, earth, light wood, coffee, black pepper, spices, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf and herbs.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 8 year old Pinot Noir from Santa Lucia Highlands is drinking very nicely now, and will continue to do so in the next 5 years.

Elegant and nicely balanced, complex and entertaining. Soft, smooth and easy drinking.

Wine Enthusiasts 92 points.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food. A good porch wine too.

14.3% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$35 (at release).

One of my favorites. I think the Cabernet Sauvignon is a little better. This one is so very smooth. Don’t know how to describe taste. — 6 months ago
