Favorite California Vineyard

It was the 1978 Caymus ‘Grace’ Cabernet that blew my mind as well. A colleague was a close friend of Dicks (Grace was his stockbroker). The most delicate, refined Cabernets I had ever tasted from the new world. I saw a lot into the development of the Grace Estate, and those early wines were such a treat. Haven’t had a newer vintage in years.

Chardonnay - Hyde

Zinfandel - Pagani Ranch

Syrah - Colson Canyon

Cabernet Sauvignon - Too many to pick one

Is Aerika selling wine or just barrel sampling?

I am hearing they should release something this spring, but unclear

Based on my previous answer and thinking about OP and one vineyard, I rhink I have narrowed it down to Inglenook/Cohn as I love the Cabs and the whites that come off of it or To-Kalon as the Cab and Sauv Blanc are both great.

Monte Bello. As I can only pick one, that is it.

But, would also like to add:

Mount Eden, Geyserville and Napanook.

UV-SL for Pinot.

Can’t believe I can add one that hasn’t been mentioned that is truly my favorite. Of course, it probably really sucks, so don’t any of you go out looking for any. :slight_smile:

Yes, Hardy is Blending Savant.
