Dark gold in color.

Strong nose of ripe apples, citrus, spices, honeysuckle, herbs, light earth and honey notes.

Medium plus in body with medium minus acidity.

Dry on the palate with lemons, apples, light limes, spices, herbs and earth.

Nice finish with limes and light grapefruits.

This 8 year old Riesling from Anderson Valley is drinking beautifully now. Rich and elegant. Complex, interesting and entertaining.

Changes in the glass every 15 minutes, which is so entertaining.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 20 minutes of airtime, when the complexity shows up.

Wine Enthusiasts 90 points.

This Single Vineyard Riesling is still rich with fruits. Nicely balanced and spicy with a nice mouthfeel. Better when not too cold.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A field blend of 92% Riesling and 8% Muscat. A small production of less than 2,600 bottles.

13.1% alcohol by volume.

The perfect Pinot Noir. Enjoyed the 2015 vintage in 2024 with Chicken Marsala and prosciutto. Such a nice flavorful wine and so darn soft to drink. Too bad all Pinot Noir’s don’t taste like this. — 2 years ago

This is an easy drinking Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley in California. Nicely balanced with mild complexity and a soft mouthfeel. Loved the low alcohol here.

Good right out of the bottle, and gets earthier after 90 minutes of airtime.

Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 years.
