Very light and refreshing. Drank with Samantha. — 6 years ago
Sharing a birthday dinner with family. Ringo Starr said he couldn’t make it. PNP and wasn’t that tight. Could have used some air but the nose and palate were just great. — 6 years ago
My fave in special edition. Palates in a awe all around. With Samantha, Sabrina, Panos, Sammy and Tere for Sam’s Marbella bday celebration. Tuesday pre-festivities. — 7 years ago
We had the 2019 Vintage on 7/9-11/26. The wine held up over these three days. Once again, the wine’s highlight is a smooth and silky mouthfeel. The characteristic flavors of a good RRV are all there: cherry, strawberry, raspberry and cinnamon. Medium bodied, well balanced, New World. Very good — a month ago
2016. 100% Cab Franc. Wine tasting 11/25. — 8 months ago
Another special gem from Oakville. Rudd produces some stellar wines and this Samantha is a shining example of a Cab that is coming into its own. Still would improve on the shelf for another 10+ years. — 5 years ago

An excellent sparkling wine from Carneros. 96% Pinot Noir and 4% Chardonnay sparkling wine made in the traditional method. Hard to find but well worth the search. Love everything from Crocker & Starr — 5 years ago

Haven’t had for awhile. So brilliant. Fresh crushed berries, plums, forest, greenery, just on the nose. Palate is similar with some dried rose mixed in. Fresh plums, cherries, so tart, jolly rancher but not quite love this wine. — 12 days ago
