That's kind of the impression I've had, too, but I didn't know if I had fallen for the hype or what since I can't recall why I thought so. And of course I'm guilty of wanting, in the case of Freemark Abbey, nothing to change since I've always liked this winery. Can't say I think the Matanzas Creek brand has held up, though. The merlot used to be extraordinary.

How long you talking, Jenise? I used to love Matanzas Creek Sauvignon Blanc, but that was back in the '80s when Merry Edwards was making them.
