Kumquat, lime zest and honeydew mixed with saffir leaf and dill, followed by an off-dry medium finish. This is more of a food wine than a stand-alone wine... Pair dill-topped halibut and grilled romaine lettuce. A well done Chenin. Rating: 3.60 / 5.00...

Sharp on the front, smooth finish. Pleasant tannins and good acidity.

I might be the only one, but this wine reminded me of a good Alexander Valley bottling from Silver Oak: seemingly infused with new American Oak, this wine is thick and dark, with dill, black olive, and sage nuances. Like Silver Oak, this wine is almost over the top, and it is not for everyone. But it is dense and brooding, and I really enjoyed it. I would think it woulk keep for up to 6 years...

Smooth and round, with a dill and pickle note adding an extra fillip to the spicy raspberry and cherry flavors. Finishes with polish and generosity. Best from 2008 through 2012. 1,955 cases made...

On the nose, subtle tart cherry, a little dill, thyme and olive. Black cherry, cedar, raisin, smoked meat and ash. Chalky schiste soil shows through. Young, but beautiful...

A heck of a while since the last food and wine matching exercise so today a wine matched to a simple, but delicious, fish dish. The recipe for Oven-baked Sea Bream/Bass with Fennel and Dill (specifics below) was created...

Aromas of smoky raspberry, dill, sage and cedar carry over to the palate, where they're deep, concentrated, focused and persistent. The tannins are ripe and firm, ending with a mix of cedar and dusty berry. Drink now through 2011. 12,000 cases made...

Dill-laced oak and dried currant and black cherry form a rich, tight, complex core of flavors that give this a tight focus and long, persistent finish. Drink now through 2013. 11,500 cases made...

Presents an elegant, supple mix of alluring black cherry, dill, green olive, plum and wild berry fruit that's juicy and stylish, gaining richness, depth and proportion on the long, smooth-textured finish. Drink now through 2017. 2,100 cases made...

Certainly in the Silver Oak style, with toasty new American Oak imparting dill, pine, and sage notes. Some people don't seem to like this wine, but I prefer it to the softer, more mainstream Napa offering. Certainly not for the faint of heart, and its medium body won't appeal to fans of overripe Cabernet, but certainly a unique expression of the grape...
