Mount Palomar Winery

• April 2013

  I am a new wine lover. A year or two ago I was having troubles staying away from 'the sauce'.  It wasn't alcoholism, per se, but it was getting to the point where I was spending much of my money and getting very little done. So, being that I am working in a fine dining restaurant, Carnevor Steakhouse in Milwaukee, WI, I decided to begin studying... Read More

  Dear Wine Peeps,Where is Temecula? We are in Southern California, just 90 minutes from Los Angeles or San Diego. We are Southern California's only major wine region. Temecula's terroir has been often compared to Southern Italy and France. Our soil as a high granite composition, and we get nightly coastal breezes that cool the grapes. We are know... Read More

  Mount Palomar Temecula Valley Charbono 2007

  Snoothrank:

  Dark clear black plum purple. Very big nose--kind of a strange clay aroma. Neutral on the tip of the tongue, but stuff happens as it moves back--mostly minerally, stony things. No fruit to speak of, not much acid, not much tannin. We're having grilled portobelllo sandwiches (which have enough minerality in them), tonight, and this wine will... Read More

  Mount Palomar Syrah Temecula Valley 2007

  Snoothrank:

  Very dark indigo although maybe a tad murky in the glass. Cherry and tarry nose. Initial mouth sensation seems mellow, but then, as it spreads over the palate tannic dryness is happening all over. Not a fruity wine by any means--maybe a hint of plum or prune. We are having a "leftovers" dinner tonight. We're cleaning out the fridge and will... Read More

  Disapointed with my search results for Temecula. Most were from 2010...Anyway, we are going on a family vacation in the area and I need some assistance in choosing a few wineries to hit.  Most of my research so far has been the wineries' websites, which are obviously biased.  However, based on this I am thinking about Doffo, Wiens, and Wilson Cr...

  OK, someone just asked me about where to visit and what to do in Temecula. Don't think I've been there since the very early '90s.I did visit Callaway a few times back in the late '70s into the '80s and thought they were doing great for the locale, but I haven't had any of their bottles in more than a decade. Certainly they were better back then ... Read More

  Mount Palomar Cinsault Temecula Valley 2005

  Snoothrank:

  85 points. Visually there is a slight rusty orange tint to this wines edges, something I typically expect to find in something like a Sangiovese. I thought that it was interesting the wine looked that way because I picked up on some pretty strong old school Tuscany, Sangiovese-like aromas on the nose too. The aroma is soft and delicate, but with... Read More

  Mount Palomar Temecula Valley Castelleto Cortese 2007

  Snoothrank:

  91 points.In the glass this wine is a medium straw gold with a faint steeliness. On the nose there is a lot going on. This wine is bright, with fresh cut melon and peach with a curious mild caramel and honey quality that almost approaches toasted coconut. There is also a pretty serious mineral water edge combined with a bit of basil leaves and l... Read More
