Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Very pretty aromas of sweet berries and roses with a hint of stems. Full body, with ultra-fine tannins and a silky textured finish. It's the wonderful mouthfeel that makes this such a delicious wine. Drink or hold."

"Even better, and a killer value, is the 2010 Syrah Colson Canyon. Aged nine months in neutral oak, this 100% Syrah (1,000+ cases made) exhibits attractive notes of roasted herbs, licorice, camphor, blackberries, cassis, roasted meat and bouquet garni. Full body, gorgeous purity and a wonderful..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Full-on apple and quince flavors provide the richness to balance the briskness of the soil character. This is sunny and earthy at once, mouthwatering in its freshness, firmly structured for aging."

"Foxen's UU Block from the famed Bien Nacido Vineyard fights it out every year with the estate Tinaquaic Chardonnay for top honors. In this cool vintage, the former wins out by a hair.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"... loads of roasted Provencal herbs, sweet black cherry, black currants and black raspberries, beautiful purity, full-bodied texture and a long finish."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"... Firm tannins frame an expressive core of dark red cherries, flowers and sweet herbs. The inner perfume of Zinfandel resonates on the finish... it is quite beautiful..."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"While there are not a whole lot of noble sweet wines in the cellars this year, the two Spätlesen that Tim Fröhlich has fashioned from the Felseneck are absolutely outstanding. The “regular” Spätlese offers up a beautifully filigreed and pure bouquet of pink grapefruit, tangerine, slate, bee pollen..
