Jonata "La Sangre De Jonata" Red 2016

(10/15/2018) "The 2016 La Sangre de Jonata (98% Syrah and 2% Viognier) is a beautiful follow on to the sensational 2015 and has a layered, multi-dimensional, massive profile. Blackcurrants, blackberries, lavender, bacon fat, and spring flower notes all flow to a seriously rich, powerful wine that stays light and graceful, with awesome tannin quality. It's another tour de force that reminds me of the 2007. It shuts down with extended air time (I followed this bottle for two days) and while it can certainly be enjoyed today, it won't hit prime time for another 4-6 years and should keep for two decades or more. Maturity: 2022 - 2042"

A Tribute to Grace "Morro View Vineyard" Edna Valley Grenache 2017
93
Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(9/2019) "From a site in Edna Valley, the 2017 Grenache Morro View Vineyard offers terrific fruit density as well as nuance. It is also the only vineyard designate Grenache in this range made with fully destemmed fruit. Bright red cherry, blood orange, mint, star anise and cinnamon all open up in the glass. The 2017 remains light on its feet, but it is certainly not lacking in either depth or texture, as it finishes with real substance."

Kosta Browne Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2017

Jeb Dunnuck

Wine Advocate
(2/6/2020) "Aged 15 months in 42% new French oak, the 2017 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills has a medium ruby-purple color and gives up cinnamon toast, raspberry coulis, macerated strawberries and rosewater perfume with accents of musk, lilac, blood orange and scorched earth-what a gorgeous perfume! Medium-bodied, it slowly builds in amplitude in the mouth, releasing gobs of perfumed red berry fruits. It has a sturdy but finely grained frame and seamless freshness, finishing very long, layered and fantastically perfumed. Wow!"

Arnot-Roberts "Fellom Ranch" Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
95
Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(3/2017) "The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Fellom Ranch, from a site in the Santa Cruz Mountains, is savory, deep and quite powerful. Dried herbs, sweet red cherry, flowers and mint open up nicely in the glass, but it is the wine's mountain structure and purity that stand out most. Even so, there is more than enough to the fruit to play off the tannins. All three 2014 Cabernets are superb, but the Fellom has perhaps just a bit more pedigree and complexity than the Clajeux and Montecillo. Drink 2022 - 2034."

Calera "Jensen Vineyard" Mount Harlan Pinot Noir 2017
99
Jeb Dunnuck
(9/1/2020) "My favorite in the lineup, the 2017 Pinot Noir Jensen Vineyard is stunning in every way. Gorgeous black raspberry fruits, lots of floral, scorched earth, and sappy herb aromatics, medium to full-bodied richness, flawless balance, and a great finish all make for one of the most captivating Pinot Noirs in the vintage. It's brilliant today yet should easily evolve for 15 years or more."

Sea Smoke "Ten" Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2018
This premium bottling is named for the ten clones of Pinot Noir planted in the Sea Smoke Estate Vineyard. A bit more intense and complex, this even-more-limited-production wine is a special treat for any Pinot Noir lover. Like Southing, the 2018 Ten was aged for 16 months in French oak. For this bottling, 68% of the barrels were new. That extra oak adds lift to the ripe fruit character, along with just the right amount of vanilla and toast on the silky finish. Unfined and unfiltered, it is a shining example of just how pure and good California Pinot can be. The winery's description has us chomping at the bit...
Winemaker's Notes
"A brooding and intense wine. The aromas begin with notes of Elderberry, Freesia and Fig, then a myriad of savory spices, and a hint of lavender. Firm, mature tannins - evidence of Ten's ageability - are followed by a long, velvety finish."

Sea Smoke "Southing" Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2018
The name of this wine is an homage to the south-facing slopes of the Sea Smoke estate vineyard. It is a hearty, perfectly balanced Pinot Noir built on a foundation of powerful, ripe fruit. Boasting mouthwatering acidity, the pure Pinot Noir joy offered here is a perfect testament to the cool climate Sta. Rita Hills appellation. This 2018 bottling spent 18 months in French oak, 28% of which was new.
Winemaker's Notes
"Each year, our goal for Southing is to create the ideal marriage of complexity and elegance."

Booker Vineyards "Vertigo 22" Paso Robles Red Blend 2017
99
Jeb Dunnuck
(10/31/2019) "The same 65% Syrah, 30% Mourvedre, and 5% Grenache as the classic Vertigo, yet aged 22 months in barrel, the 2017 Vertigo 22 boasts a deep purple color as well as a mammoth-sized bouquet of blackberries, dry-aged meats, melted licorice, crushed violets, and white chocolate. Deep, massively concentrated, yet with a level of purity that's just about off the charts, this thrilling Syrah blend from Jenson will stand up the best from Sine Qua Non, Saxum, and John Alban. Drink it any time over the coming 10-15 years."

Booker Vineyards "Vertigo" Paso Robles Red Blend 2017

Jeb Dunnuck
(10/31/2019) "I loved the 2017 Vertigo from barrel, and it didn't disappoint from bottle. A blend of 63% Syrah, 30% Mourvedre, and the rest Grenache and Petite Sirah, brought up in 65% new French oak, this full-bodied, massively endowed 2017 has complex notes of blue fruits, blood orange, violets, and exotic spices. As with all Eric's 2017s, it's rich and concentrated yet has remarkable purity and elegance at the same time. It's one of the finest GSM blends out there and will shine for at least 8-10 years."

Booker Vineyards "My Favorite Neighbor" Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
96
Jeb Dunnuck
(10/31/2019) "The 2017 My Favorite Neighbor is also terrific and I suspect would cost 2-3 times its going rate if it was from Napa Valley. It's also the more elegant, perfumed, red-fruited release compared to the darker fruited Harvey and Harriet release. Classy notes of black raspberries, spice box, white flowers, lead pencil shavings, and tobacco leaf all emerge from the glass of this medium to full-bodied red, which offers a seamless texture, fine tannins, and a great finish. It will be better with 2-3 years of bottle age and keep for over a decade. Maturity 2019 - 2029."
