"This is the first commercial release from Sandar & Hem, a new winery headed by Rob Bergstrom, a former management consultant, technology executive and now winemaker... Bergstrom's goal is to make wines that highlight the unique attributes of top sites in the Santa Cruz Mountains with a light hand that emphasizes energy and translucence. It will be fascinating to see where these wines go in coming years, especially as the range expands to include new sites. For now, though, this is a very impressive debut."
