This is obviously a Santa Barbara County Pinot. Nice opener with a bit of barnyard and dusty forest floor. Ample bright red fruit and a nice balance to a fair finish. — 14 days ago

100% Clone 943 Pinot Noir. Black cherry, some blueberry and black plum. Subtle and balanced. A bit of spice on the finish. Loved the winery and you'll love the 2022 clone 943. — a month ago

Loads of honey, apricot and peaches. I loved this. Served a bit chilled and it delivered. — a month ago

Dinner in the North End Boston and this was suggested by the waiter. Nothing special and wanted something with a bit more body. About 50% of what you'd want for taste and profile. Didn't kill the pocketbook. — 21 days ago

It's my birthday so it was time to open this gem. Inky black out of the bottle. Abundantly raisiny. Loads of black cherry, spice, and raspberry from the glass. Nice supple tannins. Big bold and opulent. This has aged well. Blend: 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot — a month ago

Nicely done GSM from Brave and Maiden. Opens to red berries and a bit of earthiness. Spice throughout the mid palate and the cherry and raspberry pick back up in the finish. Love the earthiness of this wine. This will stand up for a while. One of the prettiest wineries and the wines deliver. — a month ago

A bit dusty in the nose but it opens with cherries, blackberries and a touch of dark cocoa. Nice balance between florals and spice. Tannins are silky and it has a full finish. I'd say medium body but very good value. — 17 days ago

Birthday flight. The 2014 def drinking better than the '13. Less raisin but all the red, black and blue fruits. Not as fruit forward but the complexity and structure are classic Hall. Tannins are more subtle and the finish is long. — a month ago

A little funky in a good way. Plenty of cherries and blue fruits, with a nice peppery mouthfeel. I like the florals and the cedar notes. Medium to full-bodied. The texture and tannins take you to a nice long finish. I don't have much of it, but it may be my fav Betz to date. — a month ago
