4/24/2024 - Karay161 Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis a flavorful medium-bodied red with excellent depth & balance. It has a nose of deep dark berries & your first mouthful is a burst of those dark fruits... dark cherry, dark plum highlighted by notes of cedar, dark chocolate & clove. The tannins are well integrated & the finish is short and smooth. In my opinion... this is a most delightful drinking wine that would be great with food or on it's own. |

4/20/2024 - chairmanzian wrote: 86 pointsDecanted for ~60 minutes. Full bodied with dark chocolate on the front palate, with red fruit and green herb notes on the back palate and finish. Seemed well integrated and food friendly - might have waited too long for my palate as I wish the acidity were a bit higher. Paired with ribeye. Overall pleasant. |

4/18/2024 - DrELW Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis is a clear, medium straw yellow colored wine. The nose is filled with fruit. The palate consists of lime, green apple, and grapefruit. This vermentino has more body than the same variety from Italy. It has a soft consistency to compliment its refreshing acidity. The finish is fresh and clean. This is a good wine that I'd describe as a varietal vermentino with New World character. |

4/7/2024 - DrELW Likes this wine: 89 pointsWe had this wine with some littleneck clams. It was a great combination with this food. On the other hand, I'm having trouble describing this wine. In summation, it's a well made wine; but it's more deserved with an appetizer or salad than a full meal. |

3/31/2024 - DrELW Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis is a light transparent garnet colored wine. The flavors are strawberry, sweet cherry, and grape. This is a semi-sweet wine with 7.5% alcohol. It has some carbon dioxide spritz which adds to the refreshing quality. This is the kind of wine one needs to keep around for those who do not have a palate for dry wine. It's well made and best served refrigerator cold. The sweetness is gentle and not to the level of a dessert wine. |

3/23/2024 - Echodog Likes this wine: 89 pointsWine pours to a golden yellow color. Aromas are crisp honeysuckle and apple. Tastes of green apple and a hint of oak. Very easy drinking but not as complex as I would have expected. Still a very good bottle. |

3/2/2024 - travelme wrote: 91 pointsTannins have softened and started with a faint hint of greenness that blew off eventually and revealed an incredibly smooth and great bottle of CA Cabernet waiting underneath. Definitely bigger in fruit because of the fruit but overall really enjoyed it. Nice classic cab with a lingering finish. My first of two bottles bought years ago at the winery. |

2/26/2024 - Sheldog Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis wine is just amazing. We drank this while enjoying a dinner of grilled Walleye—which paired perfectly. Not being very familiar with this varietal I characterized it as like a cross between Viognier and Chenin Blanc. And I happen to love both of those varietals. Well balanced and long pleasant finish which you don’t always get in a white wine. Our first thoughts—can we buy some more of this and soon?!!!! |

2/21/2024 - mpaulson71@gmail.com Likes this wine: NRI had the first sip and recalled why I bought this in the tasting room. The scent is nice and strong. Great fruity flavor. not too much but there is a nice cheesiness left on the tongue. The wine is 9 years old and I imagined it's a great time to drink it. It did not disappoint. |

1/19/2024 - Driller60 Likes this wine: 89 pointsA flash of Grape Crush Soda raced through my mind. Mellow, a bit too mellow, feels syrupy to the sides of my tongue, doesn’t really taste like an old Cab. |

1/3/2024 - Condrieu82 Likes this wine: 91 pointsSpice in the nose, with black currants and cherries and some spice. Fruit-driven, with nice acidity, lots of currants and cherries, menthol/eucalyptus notes, some mineral, grippy tannins, and a nice, spicy, slightly oaky ending that goes on for a while. Textbook, good quality Cabernet from Napa - I would say in a great spot now but I see potential for further improvement in the next 3-4 years. |
