I scored this fabulous wine 95 Points when we tasted it, and Wine Spectrum Advisors collectively scored this 95+ Points; I suspect this will be 96 Points in a short amount of time as it will get even better! This is gorgeous Cabernet that is firing on all cylinders right now, and will continue to […]
I love a team that works well together to produce an excellent product. In the wine world there are a lot of great winemakers, and fewer great viticulturist. It is not too often that they come together, but when they do….. the results are astounding. Now combine that combination with a vintage like 2012…. the […]

Is bigger really better? How big is too big? To the first question we can confidently say yes, there are definite advantages to investing in large format wines. While size can range from the magnum, which equals two bottles, all the way up to the grand daddy of them all, the Nebuchadnezzar, which is equal to twenty […]
This Pinot Noir reminds me of Williams Selyem, Gary Farrell, and Rochioli Pinots. I was so impressed with the fact that this is NOT an over-extracted Pinot Noir. It’s not the big, over the top, juicy wine that seems to be a fad in California right now. This is a pristine pinot, with minerality, elegance, and precision. […]
