The 2011 Todos is entering an nice drinking window. Nose of violets, dark fruit and meat. Still big and ripe despite the cooler vintage. Still has grippy tannins on the finish. It was great with smoked pork chops.

More like Jolata. Explosively rich, but with a bitter edge that keeps it contained. Lots of reverb. Dark, black fruit, incense, cacao nibs, crushed rock, and laced with Herbes de Provence.

Meaty, bloody, spicy and bold. This winery is doing great things in Santa Barbara County.

Another example of Matt Dees excellent abilities as a winemaker. Deftly straddles hedonism with balance. Like a heavily whipped black raspberry and mocha milkshake that's both rich and ethereal. The secondary notes, including herbs and spices are quite distinctive and mostly Provençal in origin, but there's some other interesting savories the make this special. This has small amounts of Viognier, Sangiovese, Grenache, Merlot, and Petit Verdot (The balance being 75% Syrah, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon).

Love this wine, some grip, needs some time, but still nice. Takes time to open up.

Extremely tight on day 1. Finally opened up on day 4. Briars red fruits, eucalyptus, hint of ground cinnamon. Good acid with integrated tannins. Excellent!
