Crisp and refreshing albariño with minerality, fruit forward with melon and stone fruit - a tad sweeter than I prefer. Great with seafood. — 9 years ago

Very fruit forward, full bodied. Typical California zin. I would've liked more balance between fruit and other aspects (earth/coffee). Completely easy drinking and approachable. — 9 years ago

6.5

Less focused and elegant than the other pinot offerings. I find it too sharp and acidic for my liking. All smoke without depth. — 9 years ago

On the nose - at first, ripe blackberry and currant, then woodsy minerality. Structured layers of dark fruit, aged leather, wood and faint cinnamon. Supple and smooth finish. — 9 years ago

7.8

A powerful cab but with great restraint. Tastes sweeter and jammier than you would suspect from the nose. A bit lighter than Jack's Masterpiece - this would be a cab you could have and then have a different varietal without ruining your palate. — 9 years ago

Wet moss and dark fruit, fruit forward tannins. Some funk. Drinks well, smooth finish. Lovely Syrah but a bit too fruity for my liking. — 9 years ago
