Nose like a lighter style zinfandel. Cinnamon spice, white pepper, cedar and red raspberry. On the palate, bright red raspberry with big spice and zest with white pepper and light herb notes. Good balance. Zesty finish. Nice.89 pts.5/8/13 Read More

99% Chardonnay 1% Riesling. Nose of honey and toasted almond and the sweet smell of lilies and other fresh flowers. Nutty, honeyed orange blossom on the palate. Honeysuckle. Hard to place the fruit notes, but it's enjoyable. 86 pts.5/8/13 Read More

First Meunier I have liked bottles as a still wine. Nose of black cherry and green produce. Very vegetal. Violets, herbs and flowers. Savory on the palate with earthiness, dark plum and hints of blackberry. Cherry compote, violet, lavender and earth. Nicely constructed, which I scored on higher as I just don't have a taste for this varieta... Read More

Lots of lightly baked green apple fruit topped with bright lime zest notes along with hints of old wood, and subtle hints of toast, vanilla and minerals. Round and rather rich in the mouth, with lots of citrus and green stone fruits but at the same time this have great acidity contributing plenty of snap in the mouth. The oak is almost fully int...

Subtle but complex with pineapple and apple fruit supported by nuanced wood spice, vanilla, and buttery aromas with a nice hint of something that reminds me of banana bread. This is a big wine, opulent, rich and creamy in the mouth with deep pineapple and slightly tropical mango flavors. There's enough wood here to contribute distinct flavors bu... Read More

Iota like just a little bit, the Greek letter. This damn Snooth ... ... ... Somewhere between earthy Carneros and ethereal Sonoma Coast. At $35 plus, I have to really like things to keep buying them. White Hawk is a well-known vineyard. Ojai, Holus Bolus, Nola, and a bunch of others make Syrah from their grapes, as well as White Hawk's own ... Read More
