Nicely done GSM from Brave and Maiden. Opens to red berries and a bit of earthiness. Spice throughout the mid palate and the cherry and raspberry pick back up in the finish. Love the earthiness of this wine. This will stand up for a while. One of the prettiest wineries and the wines deliver. — 4 days ago

Serious Pinot from Sonoma County Petaluma Gap. The nose immediately sends you to a forest floor. Black and red cherry, black tea leaves and a hint of blueberry. Definitely a full bodied wine. Finely layered and well constructed. — a month ago

I don't guess there's much Grenache Blanc grown in SYV. Young and crisp with a perfect balance of minerality, acidity, and aromatics. This is a step up backyard pool pleaser. — 2 months ago

Gave this one another 6 months. Still shows plenty of black and red berries with a bit of spice. Not going to knock you over but it's still a good value Napa mountain peak wine. — 9 days ago

Opens with a bright and expressive acidity. Pear, green apple, and even some pineapple. Love the lengthy floral finish. Not a porch pounder. This is a very nice Chardonnay that will pair well with fatty fish, chicken and turkey. — 19 days ago

55% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Petit Verdot red blend wine from Betz. Loads of red cherry, plum and black raspberry. Almost musty to taste with some floral notes on the nose. I'd lean full-bodied. — 2 months ago

Collab of Michael Kennedy with a left bank Bordeaux single vineyard producer VINIV winery. 100% cab. This was the first year of this production. Not much on the nose but it drank well after a nice 2 hr decant. Blue and black berries with some cassis and a bit of spice on the finish. 10 years and could stand a little more. — 2 months ago

Loads of cherry on the nose. Plum, cranberry and raspberry on the palate. Shows a desirable tartness and full mouth feel throughout the finish. We loved visiting the winery and love this 100% estate single clone Pinot. — 11 days ago

Opens with lemon and pear on the nose. Nice mouthfeel throughout the glass and a nice long balance of acidity and citrus to the finish line. This wine delivers. Paired well with a shrimp and clams pasta. — 22 days ago

9.1

Nice Sonoma Coast Pinot. Notes of strawberry, black tea, damp forest and a hint of spice on the finish. Even with some bottle age it still has some nice silky tannins. Great value wine and everyday drinker. — 2 months ago
