I've been real busy with other things and haven't had much time to focus on the specifics of the 2013 season. But, things are getting off to an early start due to unusually warm Spring weather and a mild Winter where the Sierra snowpack is only 17% of norma... Read More

  Cave de Tain Marsanne 2011

  Snoothrank:

  Nice, light marsanne, good for a summer deck mid-week sipper. Nothing over the top, slight touch of dried apricot, subtle butterscotch, light on the acidity and a short finish. Not much going on here but not unpleasant either. Read More

The flavors are decidedly in the red fruit end of the spectrum with a nice herbal edge and a ... Read More

  Snoothrank:
