Carmel Valley Pinot Noir 2017

Very balanced. Not too fruity and not heavy at all. Like that it didn’t leave me salivating after each sip - very balanced acidity. Easy drinking by itself or paired with pork chops. — 5 years ago

Syrah 2014

A spicy nose with cinnamon and clove. Raspberry, cranberry, rhubarb pie, dark dark cherry, American oak, and blackberry on the palate. High alcohol. Moderate plus tannins and acid with a long finish. Should pair nicely with sausages, spice meats, and meat pizzas. — 7 years ago

Merlot 2013

Made with grapes grown from Rome to Latina, the 2013 vintage is probably very near to its own peak of drinkability. Tannins are gentle, but important. A vague herbal taste is what remains after the red fruit flavours vanished. A good wine coming for a very reasonable price. — 11 years ago

Carmel Valley Barbera 2015

More going on with this vintage than the previous two years. Some barnyard funk on the nose. Big red fruit and spice to start with chewy tannins and acid to spare in the finish. This is a big wine that may soften with some time in the bottle. — 7 years ago

Il Campione Carmel Valley Pinot Blanc 2015

A lush nose of peach and melon along with a touch of dried herbs. The wine is full bodied on the palate with well integrated alcohol and bright, rounded acidity. Creamy flavors of almond, melon, green apple fill the palate and the crisp acidity and fruit linger on the palate. A wonderful wine list find! — 8 years ago
