Bargain find in Houston TX. Lovely blend of pepper, blackberries and cranberries and the slightest hint of effervescence that gives lift. Enjoyed outside in 90 degree Texas humidity and was light as a feather. Perfect example of the balance that can be achieved with California wines. — 2 years ago
Probably the best wine I’ve purchased from Costco. It’s not cheap compared to other Costco offerings- but it’s much less cost with similar quality than the $90+ or more bottles of 20 year tawny port I’ve enjoyed. It’s just so smooth and complex that I don’t feel I need to describe the flavors profile. It’s complete. — 2 years ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over three days. Consistent across the three days but seemed to be a little more open on Day 3. No formal notes. Loads of character in this wine. Star fruit, pear, lemon, gardenias, petrol and a massive amount of minerals: rocks and ferrous material. Absolutely sizzling with youthful energy. Long on the finish and wonderful acid. I want more. — 2 years ago
One of the best 17 vintage reds we have tasted. Beautifully balanced and textured. Right in the middle of its drinking window. So good we immediately bought more. — 2 years ago
Dark ruby with red rim. Fruity on the nose, black and red fruit, cedar, black pepper, tobacco. Upon opening dry, fruit, earthy. Nice mouthfeel, chewy tannins, with a great long finish. Softened up in the glass. Drinking very well now but with many years left. — 2 years ago
The namesake of my brother, this was my first sampling of the Ryan Vineyard. It was outstanding! Through August, this is easily in my top 3 bottles so far this year! — 2 years ago

First go with the ‘16 and it’s got the blackberry, plum, tobacco and mineral that just goes on and on. A silky 12.5% it rivals any previous vintage. Drunk over 3 days and it’s still elegant at the last sip. — 2 years ago
