I just cannot keep my hands off this wine what with its “Champagne without the bubbles,” qualities. No real notes since we had it recently. A big nose of lemon curd, apple and coconut. A well balanced, nearly complete wine. 14.3% alc. With St Andre and manchego cheeses with a French Batard from Reunion.10.23.20. Recommended

Much like Brian Sierra Mar (further north in Santa Lucia Highlands, this Sierra Madre is sunshine in a glass. Crisp coconut, tangy lemon curd, pineapple and mango with vanilla creme brulée in the nose and on the palate. Not a big as the Sierra Mar, but big wine nonetheless with excellent balance. A huge amount of sediment - half a ring around the punt. 14.3% alc. With chicken cutlets in mustard sauce. Recommended

Classic Cal chard, but not overly oaky
