Vintage 2015 | perfect with a lazy Saturday night spaghetti meatballs. What I noticed now, seems to be over oaked. — 4 days ago

Old reliable does it again after a terrible day. Ripe and juicy with wonderful energy and black fruits. Too lazy for more notes. I’m drinking tonight! — 2 years ago

The Vineyardist 2nd label.
This one surprised me by how much air it needed to open up. Had a splash on day 1 and immediately corked it back up for a day 2 decant. Definitely not an over extracted Cabernet just to please the masses. My ratings might be higher than others but I work these wines to get the best out of them.

Interesting note I found-

The Vineyardist is a Diamond Mountain property with a long history. In the late 19th century it was purchased by a Dutch shipping captain who planted vineyards and made wine. During prohibition the vineyards were replaced with nut and prune orchards. In 2000 the property was purchased by Dirk Fulton and Becky Kukkola, who began replanting some of the 80 acres to vineyards. — 2 months ago

First enjoyed with Dave Roesler at Luna in 2017 or 18. It was $70. Found it for $20 this winter of 2022 at Lazy Acres and shared with the Hidegs. Also amazing — 4 years ago

Fine hats and bare feet, lazy heat and lolling on the green, a late afternoon social gathering, a beach rock fire for charring seafood — 4 years ago
