Santa Ynez Valley, Central Coast

Belle Glos

Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019

Big ol’ Pinot… if by name only

Heavy body….. deep ruby color.
Musty, earthy nose
Powerful Friit - maybe black cherry
A touch earth / bitter lingers. A touch of oak.
Zin / Cab vibes
Nice glass of wine…

Santa Ynez Valley Chenin Blanc 2023

Had this at Comedor in Austin TX last night. The food there was overly hyped up, over smoked! Glad of this even though it's 3 times overpriced in retail! — 2 months ago

Beautiful CA Syrah that mimics North Rhône well. This 18 needs another 5 yrs.

Beautiful fruits, black fruits, roasted chestnuts, smoked meats, round acidity and rich, well polished finish. Reminds me of many Rostaing’s I’ve had.

Au Bon Climat

Santa Barbara County Chardonnay 2023

Pale lemon color with stone and tropical fruit aromas and citrus floral notes adding an earthy spice from 10 months surlie aging. On the palate flavors of apple, pineapple and lemon citrus with floral and baking spice. Lively acidity, medium finish ending with fruit, citrus and earthy spice. — a month ago
