"Unusual, in that not many houses declared 1981 a vintage year. This is a supple, beautiful wine, virtually orange in color, a fact that hints at its earthy, autumnal palate impression. Shows hints of mushroom, clarified butter and demi-glace notes on the nose, with baked apple and earth flavors in the mouth. Mature and sexy; drink now."

"The 2007 Califa Chardonnay boasts a ripe citrus nose with underlying notes of vanilla and toast from aromatic French oak that leads beautifully into a graceful palate of golden pear, pineapple and tangerine zest. Balanced by the refreshing acidity, the lush and creamy mouthfeel lingers with hints of butterscotch and nutmeg."

"The Maris 2006 Syrah Old Vines offers an effusive nose of black cherry and buddleia, a silky, rich palate, and distinct undertones of roasted meat, iodine, and wet stone, leading into an impressively long finish. While this is even riper than the corresponding La Togue, it displays some of the same sense of invigoration and sheer juicy drink-ability, unhindered by its alcohol. I suspect this will be worth following for at least another 3-4 years. "

"Fragrant peach blossom, honeysuckle and citrus notes are juicy and refreshing, with a pleasantly fleshy texture and a long, intense finish. Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Muscat."

"The estate’s 2004 Carmione is a blend of 60% Cabernet (Sauvignon and Franc) and 40% Merlot. This rich, sumptuous red is packed with sweet dark fruit supported by plenty of structure. It shut down quickly in the glass and will require some patience, but offers outstanding potential. It is a terrific effort from Pratesi. Anticipated maturity. 2009-2019."

"Bright red. Seductive aromas of black raspberry, cherry compote, smoky herbs and Asian spices. Fleshy red and dark berry flavors are given spine by dusty minerals and complicated by candied rose and cola notes. Suavely blends richness and energy, finishing with echoes of cherry and succulent herbs. Already seductively complex, this has the depth and balance to reward at least another few years of patience."

"The 2006 Grandmère Zinfandel is a dark Mahogany color. The aroma of this wine has scents of vanilla, caramel, holiday spices, blackberry and smoky aromas from the barrel toast. The flavors are deep and rich with layers upon layers of ripe fruit, toasted oak and spice. This wine is always about the best of the best and we are blessed with many Old Vine Zinfandel vineyards from which to choose each component of the final blend. Full flavored, generous and mouth filling are the words that we use to describe this wine."

"Light, bright pink. Energetic aromas of strawberry, raspberry, tangerine and yellow plum. Silky red berry flavors are enlivened by a zesty citrus zest quality and pick up a note of candied flowers with air. Leaves gently sweet pear and red fruit notes behind on the suave, gently smoky finish. I really like this wine's blend of richness and vivacity."

"Deep ruby. Powerful aromas of cherry-cola, vanilla, pungent flowers and spicecake. Broad, palate-staining dark berry and cherry flavors are complemented by sexy vanilla bean and clove qualities, with velvety tannins adding support. Impressively deep and harmonious, with strong finishing sweetness and lingering spiciness. Easily the most impressive wine I've had from this bodega in years."

"The wine is owned by the Smiths, who started La Jota and known for Howell Mountain Cabernet. Judging from the last few bottlings, it’s off to a promising start. Dry, rich and balanced, fruit is the star here, with explosive blackberries and cherries, while 100% new oak adds lush layers of cedar and smoke. Fully enjoyable now, with decanting, it should enjoy a long life for at least 10 years."
