Bob Cabral Pinot Noir Fillmore 2018

The concentrated flavors of red plum, raspberry and bright tangerine are absolutely electric on the palate. This is the most energetic Pinot I’ve tasted from this lineup and it is a showstopper with its refreshingly bright fruit and deep layers of ripe fruit.

Platt Vineyard Chardonnay Estate Reserve 2024

Once again, we were dazzled by this rising star Chardonnay. Wow! The plethora of perfectly balanced fruit flavors (e.g. dried apricot and Honeycrisp apples) plus ethereal nuances of lightly toasted oak, Filbert nuts, and flakey pastry on the finish. Since we were judging this white wine un-labeled (a.k.a. ‘blind’) several members assumed the 100% pristine... Read Full Review →

Platt Vineyard Pinot Noir Estate Reserve 2024

Magnificently deep and dark fruit delivered on a laser beam of bright blood orange notes that refresh and leave your mouth watering. This relative newcomer may be California’s answer to a top-tier Gevrey-Chambertin. It’s easy to get absolutely lost in the texture and mouthfeel alone. The background notes of sea air and damp earth paint... Read Full Review →
