Outstanding Napa Valley sparkling wine. Crisp, refreshing and just the right balance of acidity and sweetness. — 3 years ago
This is a delicious Pinot Noir from Mendocino County, California.
Showing red and black fruits with oak, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, leather, earth and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and fruity.
Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins.
Tasty and easy drinking. Elegant and rich.
Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime. Much better after 2 hours of airtime, when tannins come in.
Well balanced with a great soft mouthfeel.
This is a Pinot Noir for the Cabernet lover.
I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
14.4% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

Over the top Zinfandel from Patland Estates Winery 2nd label. Dark, rich, luscious fruit forward Zinfandel that tastes more like a cab. Pared perfect with smoked brisket. — 3 years ago

Lucious Napa red blend that is over the top. Unsure of which grapes were used, but the current vintage has Cab, Malbec, Petite Verdot and Syrah. Taste some pepper and possibly some Zin in the 2017. At 8 years old it was very smooth and paired wonderfully with red meat, including prime rib. The nose was such that it required multiple sniffs. Very flavorful wine. Drank in April 2025. — 3 days ago
