Dark ruby color. Smell of ripe plum, spices. Crushed plum lead the palate, ripe berries jam with strong notion of pepper. It comes pretty hot at almost 16% and you can taste it. — a month ago

Stunning, raspberry, leather, and white pepper more reminiscent of Cote Rotie than California. Great depth, I’m crushed that this is my last bottle. — 3 months ago

2020 vintage. Last tasted 7.3.24 (9.3) and 7.23.24 (9.3). Still weird mix of pretty and ugly/grounded and flighty with medium/medium-heavy body but it works with the journey and the finish. 9.3.25. — 7 months ago

Fun wine to try with some age. Very light color. A bit of tar. Some doodoo. // edit: changing my tune on this one. After a lot of air and even into second day, this has turned into a real gem. Smoky smooth restrained bright long. — 3 months ago

Nice to taste this Santa Maria Valley bottling alongside the Sta. Rita Hills one. Riper, darker fruits profile but there is still freshness here. Oak is more prominent. Earthier as well with light mushroom and tea leaf notes. Plush palate.
This is a more complex and deeper wine. But I prefer the Sanford bottling slightly. — 3 years ago
