...blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Roussanne, it offers a rich, gold hue as well as an utterly sensational bouquet of ripe stone fruits, honeysuckle, flower oil, tangerine, and hazelnuts. Reminding me slightly of a blockbuster Chardonnay from Mark Aubert, it’s full-bodied and has a deep, layered texture and a great finish. This is heavenly juice.
...blend of Chardonnay and Roussanne from Sanford & Benedict and Cumulus respectively. Bright and airy in the glass, the 2019 is all grace. Lemon confit, chamomile, mint and white flowers are all beautifully lifted. I have to say, the combination of fruit from the Sta. Rita Hills and Oak View yields a compelling, elegant white that is seriously impressive....
Full-bodied, rich, yet always elegant and focused Grenache that has beautiful darker berry fruits as well as notes of orange blossom, pepper, spice, and violets. The blend is 76% Grenache, 13% Mourvèdre, and 11% Syrah that saw 29% whole clusters. If you get a chance, you should buy it.

The full-bodied palate's concentrated, floral fruits are addictive, and its weightless, silky texture brings you back to the glass again and again. It has a juicy backbone of acidity and a hauntingly long, layered finish, suggesting it will develop over many years in the cellar.
...94% Syrah and 3% each of Mourvèdre and Roussanne, mostly from Z Block at Bien Nacido, it was 75% destemmed and is aging in 70% new French oak. This full-bodied beauty offers a layered, complex, cool-climate bouquet of ripe black fruits, ground pepper, and candied violets. Rich and concentrated, with incredibly purity...
