Winery Review- A crisp and fruity blend featuring 20% of the herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc, 50% creamy Loin de l’Oeil and notes of fresh apple and crisp pear, plus a touch of herb from the 30% Mauzac. It has a bright feel, with a hint of mineral on the finish.
My Review- This wine hit some lemon and pear notes on the nose. It had a crisp mouthfeel with a decently strong acidity and a lemony taste. I tasted this on its own.

Region- Carneros, California
Country- USA
Year- 2013

Winery Review- The Vin Gris is a bright and vibrant salmon color with cherry, strawberry, cranberry and ripe watermelon aromas on the nose. On entry, the wine displays bright strawberry flavors. Throughout the mid-palate and finish, raspberry and cherry fruit characters are balanced with spicy and crisp acidity that linger creating a refreshing and lengthy finish.
My Review- A light floral aroma with strawberries. I got some acidity on the mouth but not much else. Pretty lackluster taste. No flavor of any note.

Winery Review- This opens with dark aromas of leather, tobacco, cured meat, plum and prune. It shows soft tannins and loads of dark fruit on the finish.
My Review- Smells a little woody with leather aroma, almost like an old boot, you can smell the dryness to come. Tastes of cherry and plums, very dry. The taste lingers for quite some time.
