2005 was better and the 07 tops 'em both. also made a MK Vineyard (true Sonoma coast) in 2007 that really rocks hard though the price is $65/btl from the winery.

Sloans are very lovely people too.

I was late on the boat for the 2005, which was a shame … but the 2007s definitely are rocking, both the RRV and MK. I like what Paul is doing. Very pure wines.

Thank you so much for the rave reviews and the support! I appreciate posting the link as well because we have been completely sold out of the 2006’s, but it looks like there is still some out there. We Just finished bottling the 2008s about 2 weeks ago, so far, so good! Make sure to give us a call if you are out this way. We love to give vineyard tours…bring your boots!
