12/4/2019 - Armando B wrote: 92 pointsVery good wine. Red fruit with a bit a mineral, citrus peel, and a faint meat note on the back end. Leaner style with good acid. Should be a favorite of the AFWE. |

5/12/2018 - ashikoh Likes this wine: 92 pointsBottle Share Lunch (Alimentari Cucina e Bar): Light, translucent ruby in the glass. Red berries and very pretty floral qualities are evident on the nose. Light bodied and feminine, rather than fleshy, in style with silky tannins and 13.8% alcohol. |

4/17/2018 - fred o. Likes this wine: NRDeep golden color, that of a ripe lemon. Nose slight matchstick, some green herb spice, hints of oyster shell. Palate rich, full bodied, lemon curd and a strong mineral backbone, good acidity. Drinking at peak to my tastes but doesn’t seem over the hill in the slightest, fantastic QPR, great typicity, elegant (per J). Very very nice. 93 pts |

11/24/2017 - fred o. Likes this wine: 92 pointsDark burgundy color. Nose aromatic, bright cherries and some baking spices. Palate full-bodied, ripe fruits but well-balanced with great acidity, silky texture. Unmistakably Californian in its ripe fruits but has a lightness and balance to it, really quite pleasing. With time and extended aeration, acidity becomes more pronounced, develops more of a herbal/anise flavor, very interesting. Found serendipitously on a visit to the Arcadian tasting room, a hidden gem. Goes well with flavorful burritos and sopes, but could match pretty much anything food-wise. Goes down very easily. Highly recommended. |

11/10/2015 - Djfermentation Likes this wine: 93 pointsWow! Great job on this one Chris! After drinking many different Sauvignon Blancs from Cali over the hot summer in Las Vegas, this one really stood out as probably my favorite of the year. Nice restraint and clean mineral clarity. Very easy to drink briskly as the bottle was drained before we knew it when consumed with both casual and avid wine drinkers before dinner tonight. With only one other bottle in the cellar I need to grab some more. |

5/27/2015 - stubbie999 Likes this wine: NRStarting to take on a little weight as it rounds out with age. Nice restrained style for CA, without giving away the fruit in favor of lean acidity. Needed food (corn and crab salad) to be its best self. |

Primary notes of tart cherry and raspberry with briary earth and secondary clove, tea-leaf and lavender. Dry on the palate with medium+ acid and tannin and full body. Intense bright red fruit notes, gaining richness on the mid-palate, and accented with secondary spice and earth. Fine round grainy tannins and juicy red fruit finishing notes. Very nice and showing well. |
