1/14/2017 - AnthonyCa Likes this wine: 94 pointsThink of the first day after a 10 day rain in a forest of mushrooms with dew and floor of vegetation. A tartness that finishes sweet. The profile surprises as a full pinot and drinking in 2016 is a wonderful experience. |

2009 Spring Mountain Vineyard Cabernet SauvignonSpring Mountain District more |
4/10/2016 - AnthonyCa wrote: 87 pointsA simple cabernet and in a large format was surprisingly drinkable for several different palates. Paired well with steak but easily could align with poultry and lighter dishes. Quick legs, soft tannins, quick finish and flows fast with ease in drinkability; have another bottle ready to go when serving to a large table. |

4/10/2016 - AnthonyCa wrote: 95 pointsDeep, complex, burgundy color, long legs with almost no existence of tannins. The flavor fills your mouth with earthy fruit and finishes surprising soft. Only wine we've had with a similar experience is Thackeray Orion. |

2013 Pruett Vineyards Lucky Lauren RedSierra Foothills Red Blend more |
4/3/2016 - AnthonyCa Likes this wine: 90 pointsVery impressive in comparison to the Estate wines as we're assuming it's an "every day red". Wonderful balance of color, light tannin, extremely long legs and soft, delicate finish; the finish seems to linger more than the smell. Must buy again. |

3/28/2016 - AnthonyCa wrote: 80 pointsThe wine looks crimson colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like stoniness. It tastes like raspberry and black currant (cassis). The body is light/medium. The wine has juicy texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has medium acidity. |
