(12/2019) "One of the unquestioned highlights in this tasting, the 2014 Pinot Noir is brilliant, precise and wonderfully engaging from the first impression. Perhaps most surprisingly of all, the 2014 does not really seem to show any signs of drought. Today, I am quite struck by its freshness, energy and translucence. Put simply, the 2014 is a wine of pure and total class. "Two thousand fourteen was the most severe drought year I have ever experienced, including 1976 and 1977." Jeffrey Patterson added. "I dropped more crop than ever, as I was not sure how much fruit the vines would ripen. It was uncharted territory." In tasting, though, the 2014 does not come across like a wine from a drought year, which is truly fascinating. Drinking Window: 2020 - 2039."

Mount Eden Vineyards "Estate" Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay 2014
96
Wine Advocate
(5/31/2018) "The 2014 Chardonnay Estate from Mount Eden is terrific, offering up a youthful bouquet of buttered apples, pear, toasted nuts and brioche that reveals more and more nuance as it sits in the glass. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, pure and racy, with a satiny attack, deep core and bright acids. The finish is long and mouthwateringly chalky. This is one of the best recent releases of the Estate Chardonnay, and it comes warmly recommended. Drink 2019 - 2034."

A Tribute to Grace "Besson Vineyard" Santa Cruz Mountains Grenache 2017
92
Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(9/2019) "The 2017 Grenache Besson Vineyard presents a decidedly floral, savory expression of Grenache accentuated by 83% whole clusters. Dried cherry, mint, tobacco, licorice and dried flowers are all nicely woven together in this ethereal, beguiling Grenache. The Besson is a classic Angela Osborne wine."

Ridge "Monte Bello Vineyard" Santa Cruz Mountains Estate Chardonnay 2017

Wine Spectator
(6/15/2019) "A big, rich and showy white, filled with spicy notes to the ripe apple, pear and wild herb flavors. Minerally and buttery accents emerge on the contoured finish. Drink now through 2024."

Arnot-Roberts "Legan Vineyard" Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir 2016
New low price! Regular Vin Chicago retail - $54.99!

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(4/2018) "The 2016 Pinot Noir Legan Vineyard is bright and nicely focused, with terrific purity in the raspberry, dried cherry, sage and mint flavors that fill out its mid-weight frame. Yields were low because of the poor set of the year before. As a result, the 2016 is marked by persistent beams of tannin that give the wine much of its overall shape. I very much like the purity here. It will be interesting to see if the 2016 softens with a bit more time in bottle. Drinking Window: 2022 - 2031."

Folkway Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Blend 2015
91+
Our Score
(10/2019) In September of 2011, we featured a gorgeous red blend from Folkway on the front page of our newsletter. Thus began a nine year love affair with these powerfully delicious wines from brothers Anthony and Lino Bolzano. Now, with bittersweet sentiment, we feature a Folkway red in our newsletter for the last time. Sadly for us wine lovers (the bitter part), the brothers decided to go in different directions and are discontinuing production of Folkway wines. The sweet part is that we were able to get some VERY special pricing on their remaining inventory! Their 2015 Black Ridge Vineyard Cabernet blend sells at the winery for $36. We bought every last case of this plush, juicy, powerful and oh-so delicious red and are blowing it out at a savings of $13 per bottle - over 36% below regular price! This dense and juicy blend of 61% Cabernet Franc and 39% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Santa Cruz Mountains offers wonderfully ripe notes of black cherries, black berry and blueberries layered with subtle spices, fresh garden herbs, cigar wrapper, vanilla and mocha. The palate is full, yet round and soft, with velvety tannins that fade away on the long, smooth finish. Grab some bottles now, because once this beauty sells out, that's it forever!
