2020	Susie Bynum	Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon	This opulent, full-bodied wine is bold in dark plums and dark chocolate aromas. These lead to a weighty palate of dried plums and dried cherries laced with cedar, toast and cinnamon from oak aging. Drink now–2028.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2024-02-20
2023	Ocean Road	Chardonnay	This is an ultra-fruity Chardonnay that, while crowd-pleasing, drinks more like a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris than a Chard. There’s punchy candied peach and green apple Jolly Rancher. The vibrant palate shows perhaps a touch of residual sugar with plenty of tangy, green apple and lime acidity to counter it. Best Buy.
