Best New World red in a long time.
Rich but not overpowering. Interesting, balanced, and just plain delicious. Rebuy. — 3 years ago
I got the XVIII (18 not 17). Nice! Drank by the glass at a restaurant, I was told it is little known grapes from California, I was expecting a kind of sin massale but I was surprised! Lightly colored, with good floral perfume and bright red food, good acidity and some earthiness that takes it away from pinot land, without any funk — 4 years ago
Last of my stash…RIP Mr. Sean Thacktey always a 10.0 thank you for my love of wine. — a month ago
Such a compelling bottle. Petite Sirah planted in the 1880s, in the hands of a master. The tannins have mostly melted, leaving a silken, eucalyptus-infused wine. — a year ago
Surprisingly good. Starts out with pleasant reduction, white flowers and hay, plus a bunch of tingling minerality. Fruit is mostly citrus wi the some just ripe stone fruit. The palate has a great acid and a better viscosity then expected, without lees and with a touch of oxidation. Great stuff, chardonnay-Riesling blend for structure-florals with something else for body, if I had to guess, but could be way off. — 4 years ago

Third time having this, first en mag. Just an absolute bomb of a wine. 07 is fully integrated but my god the intensity is almost overwhelming. Drank over 3 nights. — 9 months ago
Always a solid blend & one of the best values of all wines. — 3 years ago
A New Years treat... I hope 21 is as good! — 5 years ago
