(12/2018) "Bright pale golden-tinged straw. Very intense aromas of botanical herbs, honey and ripe white and yellow fruit. Then multilayered and dense, with juicy flavors similar to the aromas. Finishes creamy and very long. A knockout wine of impeccable balance and noteworthy salinity. There's a hint of aromatic nuance on the back end which offers a ton of flavor and only 13.5% alcohol. This vintage of Sirmian offers above average complexity, possibly the result of the grape's very long hang time, as the harvest was one of the latest in memory (they finished picking the Sirmian on October 26; it had never been so late before). Drink 2020 - 2029."

(1/21/2019) "Aromas of blackberries and blackcurrants. Hints of fresh and wet earth. Full-bodied, very tight and polished with ultra-fine tannins and a beautiful finish. Shows intensity and brightness. Exciting. Top for the appellation. Needs five to six years to come together, but already gorgeous. Better after 2024."

(6/2019) It is hard to believe this wine is 11 years old! A 50/50 blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc, this mature white Burgundy saw 50% new oak during its elevage. We tasted it recently at the importer's warehouse and were floored by its youthful freshness. Secondary flavors of honey and bruised pear are balanced by bright citrus, white rock minerality and balancing acidity. Very impressive.

(2/14/2019) "The 2016 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills comes from a mix of vineyards in the Sta. Rita Hills and is a terrific value as well as a great buy for readers looking to understand the region. A ripe, sexy wine that's loaded with notions of ripe cherries, strawberries, dried herbs, and underbrush, it's big, rich, and mouthfilling, yet also balanced and elegant. It will easily keep for 5-6 years."
