  August 21, 2015 - with tom anchovy toast and poached salmon. This was very good. Nice to have a bit of age on it. Good fresh color, nice balanced nose of fruit and spice. Solid on palate, not heavy but in fact very elegant. I should better check when i have thse last and keep the bottles for further apart drinking. Good wine!

  June 26, 2015 - w spagethi clam sauce. Nice golden color, on nose it got a bit sharp. As it was open for about 2 hrs, it got better, it truly openend up. Finish was still a bit disjointed towards spice/hot, but overall actually a good wine because the fruit and oak are suppressed and not typical for california. Actually in the end i'd call this elegant with enough fruit and balance!

  July 16, 2014 - Out of balance, way too much oak. Overpowered any semblance of fruit flavor. Very disappointing as I have enjoyed several other years of this wine. Perhaps just a bad bottle.
