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 […]

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. […]

This is one of the most eclectic, fascinating, mesmerizing wines I have ever tasted in my life. I have tasted an amazing array of remarkable wines, and this wine is simply breath taking.
