This is a well made wine in a classic California Chardonnay style. I thought it was rich & full with a noticeable oak presence. I think this will have broad appeal.

Not sure what to make of this yet. My first taste out of the bottle was a bit off, but after a few minutes in the glass it opened up nicely and some of the funk blew off... this clearly needs a bit of air. Made in a more classic style, the nose and finish make me think old Bordeaux, but the California fruit is there.

Gracefully low in alcohol, I have to admit that if tasted blind, I probably would've thought this was a Flanders red ale and not sparkling cabernet sauvignon. Tannic, dry, refreshing, nervy, and definitely something you'd want to drink with food, I think. Be careful when opening it; even though it was well chilled, it overflowed the bottle almost immediately and made a mess of my kitchen floor... this is probably something you'd want to open over a bowl and then decant that into your glass!

    I'll have to sign up for the mailing list ASAP! Really dug the Los Pilares wines I've tried so far. Keep up the awesome work!

Very good Napa, quite fruit forward with bright dark red fruit, some licorice and lead pencil. Medium plus palate, rounded ripe fruit, long finish with supple tannns, drinking well and can keep.

Flat, little flavor. Not sure if decanting for an hour would help. Very disappointing.
