  Such a great wine. Yin and yang everywhere. Sweet and spicy. Translucent yet dense. Tannic and drinkable. What’s not to love. Only thing I can say is that it seemed older than 2018. Not sure if that is the tell tale heart, or if it is a wise soul. Anyway you slice it, highest recommendation and great QPR.

  Very old world on the nose. Sous bois and earthy but vibrant cherry fruit aromas. Reminded me of D’angerville style, but more morey st denis…yet the wine is from the new SLO coast appellation in central coast California!! Cool climate gives a crunchiness to the cherry and strawberry fruit. Nice finish and easy to drink. A little more cerebral than fruit forward but delicious nonetheless. Final blend by Raj Parr, and he usually knows what he is doing. Well recommended and great QPR

  I didn’t believe it till I tasted it. Blinded you would think Le Montrachet. Green golden straw colored. Perfect coloring. Medium to full bodied and RICH. Stone fruits, oily white flowers and rocky minerality on the nose. Acacia, sweet white peach and flint on the palate. OMG this wine is soooo good. The only limiting factor for 97-98 for me was a little bit acidic and thin on the finish. But that’s just me. Smarter people than me ranked this 98+ and i totally get it. Highly recommended. What a treat. Cheers
