great smoke, red ripe strawberries, and some nice earthy tones. Bold pinot but very well balanced. These single vineyard from Sanford are really drinking well.
This was the first wine in our blind lineup.. Sweet red fruit, outstanding balance with smooth silky tannins. Finish was a bit short. Never even heard of these guys and they are producing some great stuff. Even though they are on Monte Bello road, vastly different style than Ridge Monte Bello. This is more sweet fruit, balance and silk than the traditional Ridge Monte Bello. 3rd place for the night
This bottle was so corked I could have filled up 1/4 ounce pours and sold to the wine tasting companies as the perfect corked bottle for those wine smelling kits. Really nothing that any of us had experienced before. Massive corkage here! Finished last.
picked this one out immediately. Massive ripe, rich, overly sweet fruit. Too overly sweet was the problem. Almost borderline cotton candy. Has a silk like texture and the oak was perfectly integrated. Really a seamless wine that would have scored big points if the fruit was toned down a bit, just overly sweet unfortunately. Finished 4th, but had a number one vote
good overall wine here. Still young, but very one dimensional. Had some nice dark fruits, cedar and chocolate. A little lean with a slight green streak to it. Finished 5th
cedar, earth, super silky, crushed violet, with great red fruits. Tannin and oak structure were pure as can be. great wine. Ultra sleek and pure. I had never even seen this bottle before. Finished tied for 1st, my favorite
really good stuff here. not ultra sweet, but more a very well balanced wine with nice dark fruits,incredible balance and some brown sugar. Has a bit of cola to it as well.

light crisp wine with crushed rose petals, perfumed fruits and a good balance. Nice inexpensive wine to drink.
