90 PTS, Wine Enthusiast This wine pairs well with Bolognese pastas or stews as well as anything off the grill from seared skirt steak to pan seared Filet Mignon served with truffle mashed potatoes and haricots verts seasoned with sea salt. For a vegetarian option try it with Dal (curried lentils) over basmati rice and serve with yogurt, mint chutney and onion naan. This is a nice Cabernet Sauvignon for sipping anytime and anywhere.
2017 Rosie Rose of Pinot Noir, Sangiacomo Vineyard, Sonoma Coast This light and vibrant salmon pink colored Rosé offers intense pomegranate aromas with key lime and lychee aromas. The palate is juicy with sweet cherry and raspberry flavors with a hint of kefir. The wine finishes with silky tones which showcases it's great acidity and makes it a great Spring and Summer sipper.
92 PTS, James Suckling "Reserved character here, with notes of cedar wood, tobacco, spices and lead pencil to the red fruit. Medium to full-bodied with firm tannins and juicy dark fruit on the palate. Dry and polished with a long, even aftertaste. Drink or hold."
92 Points, Cellar Selection, Wine Enthusiast "Impressive at any price, but especially notable at this cost, this 100% varietal red is a testament to the power and concentration of the vintage, integrated with a push of tannin on the back of the tongue. Spicy clove and pepper ride a wave of cassis, dark cherry and chocolate, needing time to unwind in the glass. It will do well in the cellar through 2028."
92 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "The wine hits the palate with a voluptuous texture, a full-bodied mouthfeel, silky tannins and a long, long finish. At $42.00 a bottle, it is a steal." - Robert Parker
DOUBLE GOLD MEDAL 95 PTS, SF Chronicle Wine Competition
90 PTS, Wine Enthusiast “This wine packs a punch and overdelivers quality for the price. This is a crowd-pleaser in its lush, soft and fruity combination of grilled meat, bacon and smoky tannin. Those big bold elements are complemented by plenty of black-cherry jam.”
91 PTS, Wine Enthusiast "Thick grippy tannins surround a core of mountain sage and dried herb in this 100% varietal wine. Tart underlying acidity brightens a triumvirate of cherry, cassis and red currant, with the promise of rocky minerality lingering on the finish." - V.B.
