regular bottling. Then juicy and penetrating in the mouth, with brilliantly fresh raspberry and wild strawberry flavors that stain the palate. Finishes tangy and long, with a whiplash of mineral-accented red fruits and flowers. This one really calls for a decade of aging, even if there's plenty to like now. Aged in 30% new oak."

ROBERT PARKER'S THE WINE ADVOCATE 93 POINTS - "A fabulous introduction to the Domaine/Mount Eden Pinots, the 2010 Pinot Noir is flat-out beautiful Read More...
in the way it captures the essence of the Santa Cruz Mountains and the house style. Sweet dark cherries, flowers, mint and herbs caress the palate. There is a purity of fruit that is stunning in its beauty. Partial use of whole clusters (20%) gives the wine much of its fragrance, but ultimately the Domaine Eden bottling is all about class. At $35 it represents one of the very finest buys in Pinot Noir from anywhere, including the hallowed vineyards of Burgundy. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020."
Mount Eden is one of California’s first truly boutique wineries. After prohibition, a gentleman by the name of Martin Ray began producing wine from this area using obscure grapes such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay at a time when inferior grapes were the norm. His wines quickly became known as being some of the best in the state. He then sold that property, and purchased a superior site “just up the hill”. That new property is Mount Eden, and to this day, some of those Mount Eden Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays are some of the best California has ever produced!

ROBERT PARKER'S THE WINE ADVOCATE 92 POINTS - "The 2008 Evenstad Reserve has a super-expressive nose of smoke, spice, mineral, incense, black cherry, and black raspberry. This leads to a medium-bodied, stuffed wine containing layers of ripe fruit, outstanding volume, vibrant acidity, and a lengthy, velvety finish.

If your are on a Cava budget, but are not of fan of Cava blends (Macabeo, Xarel-lo, and Parellada) this fizz is for you. The St. Vincent Brut is composed of classic Champagne varietals (80% Read More...
Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir) that are drawn from the winery’s second pressing and finished off with 90 days aging on the yeast. While this Brut lacks the autolytic flourishes found in high priced bubbles it compensates nicely with its alluring apple, pear, and citrus blossom nose. The palate is lithe and glossy and delivers a pleasing play of orchard and citrus fruits that are gently bridled with acidity. The dosage is on the sweeter end of the Brut range which gives this fizz broad appeal. It’s a great call for Sunday brunch or casual get-togethers.

Fiddlestix is a renowned, expertly farmed, vineyard at the cool western edge of the Sta. Rita Hills appellation. The early morning fog and cool afternoon breezes provide a long, even Read More...
growing season, which allows full phenolic maturity at reasonable sugar levels. In 2011 Dragonette obtained fruit from four separate blocks, consisting of clones 113, 115, 667 and 777 in precise locations in the vineyard. Each clone contributes unique characteristics, adding complexity to the final blend; however, the wines all bear the signature characteristics of Fiddlestix.
As always, the grapes were harvested in the early morning (or night), and are personally hand sorted the clusters in the field. Dragonette processed the fruit within hours; some is fully destemmed without crushing, some is fermented with a percentage of whole clusters (approximately 15-20% of the final blend). The grapes are cold soaked for 4 to 7 days before permitting fermentation to commence with native yeasts, and using a mixture of pigage, pumpovers and gentle punchdowns for extraction. A t dryness, free run juice was drained directly to barrel and the remaining berries gently pressed separately. The wine was aged on its lees for 18 months in French oak barrels, 25% new, without racking, before rigorous selection, blending and bottling without fining or filtration. Only 300 cases were produced.
Dragonette's Tasting Notes: Despite its youth, this wine already displays terrific depth and complexity within its medium bodied frame. The nose is a mélange of high toned red fruits; black cherry, raspberry and pomegranate, interspersed with smoky notes of charcoal, nori and black licorice and Asian spices of cardamom and star anise. On the palate is medium bodied, presenting classic Santa Rita Hills black cherry fruit with notes of dried cranberry, rhubarb, strawberry jam, complicated by energetic citrus notes of blood orange zest and pomegranate pith which then merge with herbs (thyme), wet earth and stony minerals. The wine has solid acids and fine grained tannins providing lift and a long, complex and fascinating finish.

BURGHOUND 90-93 POINTS: "Here the wood influence is less subtle with a toasty if beautifully spicy nose of very ripe plum and black cherry aromas. Read More...
The naturally sweet medium weight plus flavors possess a velvety mid-palate as there is an abundance of sap that buffers the moderately firm tannic spine on the dusty, mouth coating and entirely serious finish. There is a mild touch of rusticity on the robust finale but overall, this is a well-balanced and harmonious effort that should age well."
