A lovely Chardonnay, dry, elegant and minerally. Displays real control, with the pineapple, lemondrop candy, apricot and oak flavors balanced by crisp acidity. Easily as good as Chards costing far more, which makes it a value.

What a great Syrah for twenty bucks. It’s as dry, full-bodied and peppery as a fine Northern Rhône bottling, with impressively deep flavors of sour black cherries, plums, violets and cedar. An outstandingly good buy, but only 174 cases produced.

Very big and extracted, like blackberry and cherry jam you melted into a liquid, then spiced with blackberry, anise, soy sauce and unsweetened cocoa powder. Big in tannins, too, but bone dry.
