Coho winery with Gary Lipp/Massandra

relatively new to this market.. good press.. good vineyard sites

Stanley Ranch Pinot Noir 2010... once a beringer property... this pinot was more about the sweet fruit and light body.. not very finessed

Michael Black Merlot 2005... there was some oblem with the bottling but even then the wine was showing interesting character for the age... it would be fun to try another bottling some time

Summitvine Ranch Cabernet 2009  80% Cab with Cab Franc, and that shows in the nose, lovely tannins and just the right touch of oak... dark berry fruit

Headwaters Blend.. from the Combsville area of Napa County.. a bordeaux blend with cab merlot and petite verdot.. juicy.. good fruit and nice oak integration...
