Has anyone had this wine or heard anything about this winery?

Isn't it near Erebor?

Nope but a $45 S.B. and a $120 red? I couldn't see prior vintages - are there any?

No 2006 is their first release.

Googled - not alot out there but the caves look beautiful - sort of like Jarvis.

I was there last weekend. Although the caves are monstrous, I wouldn't visit there again.

Just my $.02

Due to the wine quality or the the personnel?

A little bit of both...

Tried their 06 Sauv Blanc and their 06 red meritage called Obsidian at the Howell Mtn tasting at a Howell Mountain Wine Association event at Charles Krug this summer and subsequently at their industry event held in San Francisco in early September. In both events, their SB was the best white of the tastings- elegant, medium-full body, good acid and well balanced- just delicious. Reminded me of good vintage Pape Clement Blanc. Actually, perhaps the best Cal SB I have ever had. And the red is no slouch either- drinkable now, but lots of structure for aging and improvement, considering the vintage. An impressive debut IMHO. A little pricey, but given the quality of the product, worth the tariff, especially the SB.

Thanks for all your feedback. I really like O shaughnessy and its right near Arkenstone. I am just not sure Arkenstone appears to be worth almost double the price. Will most likely pass.
