The V.2022 Titus Cab Franc, has great composition blend of 80% Cab Franc, 8% Merlot, 6% Cab Sauvignon, and 6% Malbec. This is beautiful wine that delivers tons of aromas sharp raspberry, pomegranate, unripe plum, and red flowers. Very savory on the tip of the tongue, and solid but not overpowering tannins, the medley of berries seats at the back-end of the palate.
Loved the elegancy and the generosity of dark chocolate along with some spices with barely any texture, simply smooth and crazy delicious! — 2 months ago

The V.2021 Titus Family Estate Reserve Cab. Sauv. is one their finest expression of their Ehlers Lane vineyard. Situated in the core of the St. Helena AVA, along the base of Howell Mountain AVA, with the Silverado Trail on its Eastern border and the Napa River to its West. This place has a very long and rich history in the fines wines that has produced Beaulieu, Charles Krug, and Cuvaison.
This terroir is fully expressed on this bottle with has a blend of 87% Cab Sauv., 9.5% Petit Verdot, 3.5% Malbec which offers an immense concentration of dark berries aromas with some hints of violet all the way. It has an extremely approachability on the palate with an incredible delicacy of ripen red fruits, yet the coffee espresso mouthfeel is beyond enticing, together with the chewing tannins blending with texture of the cacao beans and the long but not over lingering oak at the very end, it takes you to next level.
Incredibly, this wine is just climbing its prime time and will evolve even more in the next 10 years, but can it be enjoyable now like I did as well. Cheers to this caliber of wines! — 2 months ago

Sonoma-Loeb “Dutton Ranch” Pinot Noir 2021 – Sonoma Coast, California
Another beautifully crafted wine by Phillip Corallo-Titus, the visionary winemaker behind Sonoma-Loeb since 1990. This 100% Pinot Noir captures a style that leans toward Burgundian elegance, reminiscent of the Côte de Nuits, yet clearly rooted in Sonoma’s signature vibrancy.
The 2021 vintage shows remarkable depth and finesse, a masterclass in balance and subtle complexity.
On the nose and palate: Ripe cherry, raspberry, and red currant lead the way, followed by subtle spice notes of anise, clove, and baking spices. There’s a gentle warmth from toasty oak and a whisper of vanilla, which adds texture without overpowering the fruit.
As a mouthfeel overall; Silky, smooth, and well-integrated, with soft tannins and a polished structure. The wine offers elegance and restraint, letting the fruit and finesse shine without excess weight.
A thoughtful, layered Pinot Noir, proof that Sonoma can deliver grace, not just power. Definitely worth a spot at the table or in your cellar. 🍷✨ cheers!!

Sonoma-Loeb, a distinguished winery renowned for producing exceptional Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines sourced from Sonoma County's most esteemed vineyards. Phillip Titus is a celebrated Napa Valley winemaker for this Chard, who also serves as winemaker for both Chappellet Vineyards and his family's Titus Vineyards since 1990 in Napa Valley.
As aromatic as it can get, the tropical fruits, nectarine, honeysuckle, and crisp melon notes on the nose are very welcoming and persistent. The palate gets coated with lemon custard, a balanced acidity and a creaminess that bond together the rest of nuances from the primary flavors of tropical fruits, and lemon zest.
A mouthfeel snap, absolutely vibrant expression of Sonoma County Chard, superb contrast of stable acidity with integrated flavors of green apple and tropical fruits that delivers a crispy, mineral-driven long finish. Cheers! — 2 months ago
An affordable jewel created by Titus Vineyards in Napa Valley, to showcase a Bordeaux-inspired red blend of 41% Cab Sauv, 22% Malbec, 12% Merlot, 10% Cab Franc, 9% Petite Sirah and 6% Petit Verdot, that work harmoniously and can entice both; connoisseurs and vino aficionados.
The V’22 Andronicus is well-structured and has a warm-felt welcoming encompassing a sort of Bordeaux-blended and the vivacity of the Napa County top medley. Attractive and distinctive color with a delightful aromas of ripe plum, dark cherry, punchy espresso and black teas. On the palate feels sophisticated, luscious, velvety and potent, yet mouthfeel is coating enough to swirl around multiple times before appreciating its concentrated finish. Some herbaceous and other Pyrazine nuances are noble and sensed at the very end as well. Cheers! — 3 months ago
Sipping Fine Wine
Blend of mostly Sauvignon Blanc with a splash of Viognier, pale lemon with aromas of ripe stone and tropical fruits with citrus and floral notes, nice phenolics. On the palate fresh fruit flavors of melon, pear and apple with grapefruit/lemon citrus wrapped in lively acidity, medium+ length ending with creamy citrus texture. Very Nice! — a month ago
