October 20, 2023 - Auction Pinot in Paradise 2008 Santa Cruz Mountains
May 24, 2014 - Very, very different Cab. Tremendous amount of berries, even at 12 years. Smooth. Fruity Zin lovers would probably like.
September 7, 2012 - esb hit the nail on the head: Wonderful but not textbook typical. I love Terra Blanca cabs and the '02 Reserve is up there with some favorites. It doesn't have the power of the '01, but it is packed full of flavor and character.

October 22, 2009 - This is one of the biggest blasts of ripe raspberries I have experienced in wine. Unusual, perhaps, but clean and most importantly enjoyable. 30 months in oak (not new?) but that didn't seem to deter the fruit expression. I could still taste it after dinner was over. Medium body, well proportioned, with a good mid palate and lingering finish. Ready now but no rush. Wonderful but not textbook typical.
September 24, 2009 - Amazingly forward blueberry flavors bursting out of this wine. I think my previous note mentioned a distinct Cab Franc characteristic. The same is true with this bottle. Just delicious!
August 6, 2009 - Very nice nose of blue fruits and pepper. This really comes across like a Cab Franc...just tons of blueberry flavors. Earthy and a lot of black pepper too. Definitely at peak, and drinking extremely well right now.
