RATINGS

98The Wine Advocate

...comes bounding out of the glass with baked blackberries, bold black cherries, preserved plums and violets notes backed up by nuances of chocolate-covered almonds and sautéed herbs, plus a waft of black olives. POW!

98+ Vinous / IWC

Super-ripe black cherry, plum, chocolate, new leather, licorice, menthol and spice flesh out in a sumptuous, beautifully textured wine that hits all the right notes.

97Jeb Dunnuck

Full-bodied, concentrated, and beautifully balanced, with clean, pure fruit front and center, this is just another remarkable, beautiful wine from this team that readers should snatch up.

REGION

United States, California, Central Coast

Central Coast AVA is a huge wine producing area that extends from Santa Barbara County in the south to San Francisco in the north. With more than 100,000 vineyard acres, it includes parts of six counties near the Pacific Ocean. Nearly 20 smaller AVAs lie within the Central Coast AVA. Central Coast earned appellation status in 1985. Included in the appellation are parts of the counties of Contra Costa, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz. Nearly every grape varietal grown in California is grown somewhere in the Central Coast AVA, though Chardonnay accounts for nearly 50% of the entire wine grape crop.
