Too early to open. There is potential but now the wine is too strong and not integrated. Strong pepper 🫑 flavor combined with slightly sweet fruit. Nose is excellent with strong pepper. Wait until 2030. I used a Coravin and did not have a chance to give it hours of air. — a day ago

Good Pinot Noir with nice fruit and solid finish. At the end of its life and not more time left. — 17 days ago

Lovely Pinot Noir under $35. At the end of its life, but still good. I’m sure it lost something because of its age but still a correct Pinot Noir in a classic Willamette elegant style. Solid cherry flavor but elegant and not fruity. — 19 days ago

9.4

Classic, elegant, and smooth Cabernet Sauvignon. Not complex but a paradigm of California Cabernet Sauvignon. Perfect with steak. Red fruit, oak, smooth tannins in finish. Open and drink: this wine will not get better with further age and does not need to breathe. — 5 days ago

Passable Right Bank Blend but nothing like a Saint-Emilion. Hot and strong wine. Perhaps my bottle was cooked. — 16 days ago

7.2

Leave this wine open at least one hour before consuming. Overly fruity, inelegant, acidic and astringent. Not a good choice. At least it’s an inexpensive $25 bottle. — 22 days ago
