JonDerry,I am a big Pinot fan, but of a tiny population. I will say firstly, that, Sideways aside, I typically do NOT care for Pinot from the Santa Barbara area (Sta. Rita hills, los olivos, Lompoc, etc, etc). It is overcooked, purple and big to me. When down that way, everyone was raving about Clos Pepe.. I was not overly impressed. Just no... Read More

The wine is a pleasant, deep garnet color in the glass, and the nose is a fantastic blend of rich leather, mint, oak and ripe black fruit, black cherry, plum and blackberry. The taste is a lovely combination of spice and fruit on the outset, with some rich berry flavor and some pepper and warm spice. The spicy fruit transitions effortlessly t... Read More

nice nose of cherry, plum and spice.... on the palatte offers nice notes of pepper with a decent finish. Read More

A bit dank and carob like on the nose with softly vegetal aromas that recall dusty old books along with wet forest floor and a hint of mint. Smooth on entry, yet fairly bright, this shows off a nice blend of herbal red currant fruit and earthy and nutty oak notes in the mouth. There's a bit of vanilla that creeps in on the backend that gives thi... Read More

Spicy on the nose with a nice base of oak joined by aromas of earth, blue fruits violets, green herbs and brambly fruit. Bright and juicy in the mouth, this delivers pretty big flavors of earth, toasty oak, blueberries, sage and cherry fruit. A hint of sweetness adds roundness to the palate which shows fairly soft tannins, though some wood tann... Read More

A bit oaky at first, this really pops in the glass with aromas of violets and cracked pepper that recall Syrah, layered over pomegranate, sour plum and green citrus peel fruits. This is a rather big wine, with lots of richness and a slightly creamy texture. The tannins and acidity help add tension to all that richness, keeping this lively in th... Read More

A bit tight but showing compelling complexity with floral, tobacco, and green peppercorn spice aromas framing the core of blue plum and black currant fruit. There's noticeable dose of oak here, but it remains buffered by the fruit. Rich with fruit tannins, this really pops on entry with bright, pure boysenberry and plum fruit layered over toasty...

Cherry aroma denominates this wine. Flavors of fig and cherry in the taste with oak adding coffee. And vanilla flavors. Tannins are mild, leading to a nice finish. Read More

A sleeper the nose doesnt give much away, and in the mouth its a fairly light blend of red currants and tart berries, but the warm finish lasts and lasts. A nice change of pace from heavily oaked Mendoza malbecs, especially for varietal purists, from vines at 6,600 feet above sea level. (AV 87, http://argovino.com/?p=721) Read More

Valle Dorado, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2008 Bright and intense garnet red with violet hues. Beautiful and sweet with aromas of ripe plums, cheries with hints of blueberries and chocolate. Good level of acidity and a tasty finish.
