Delicious fresh natural wine to enjoy chilled with a couple artisanal Nixta tacos. — a month ago
Chenin Blanc in this style is always so pleasurable because of combining freshness from the vibrant acidity and mineralogy with the depth of its richness. After an hour, the intense goat cheese funk (rind) blew off and I was left with caramelized apples, honey-dipped almonds, fresh thyme, and a bit of salinity. — 18 days ago

This young Pinot Noir from Oregon is starting to drink nicely now. Showing mild complexity and a soft mouth feel.
Good right out of the bottle and gets earthier as it opens up. Good by itself and better with food.
This Single Vineyard is still young, and would age nicely in the next 7 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 2 to 5 years. Showing great potential.
I paired it with Italian Prosciutto and goat cheese.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley in California. Showing nice complexity and mouthfeel. Tasty, rich and opulent.
This Single Vineyard is still very young and needs another five years in the bottle to mature. Will age nicely in the next 10 years.
Much more earthy and complex on the nose than on the palate, at this point. Although earthy, it is showing a lot of fruits. Very true to the terroir.
Good right out of the bottle and better after 2 hours of airtime.
Good by itself and better with food.
A great wine to pair with BBQ meats.
I paired it with meats and cheeses, and paired very nicely with the goat cheese.
