The wines are certified 100% Organic and the winery is located in the Carmel Valley, and is definitely recommended if you are in the area. The Tasting Room is well laid out - there is room for about 10 people to taste and there is also a lot of retail shopping that you can do in the winery. Some of the sauces are excellent! The service was very good and the staff are very knowledgeable about the wines and the winery. |

 Best Value Wine - December, 2006
Very good wine - tastes better than many cabernet sauvignons. A good balance with a long finish and plenty of flavour. |

| Fruity but a little harsh on the palate and fades into a medium tannic finish. May be past its best already |

| 83% Cab, 17% Merlot. This wine had just been released 3 days earlier and I found it too young to give an accurate rating. It needs time in the bottle |

Sep 17th, 2005 |
| 62% Cab, 30% Merlot, 7% Cab Franc. This wine had won a lot of awards and I was excited to taste it. But I was very disappointed with the lack of fruit. Later I was told that the bottle I tasted had been open all day which would explain the poor tasting |
