The '05 vintage has aged well and this is drinking lovely, but it's time to drink up. Enjoy! — 5 months ago

Had in 2015 at the winery. The wine I actually had was raspberry but I can't find the wine anywhere nor a picture of it. — 5 years ago

2016 - Complex bouquet; dark fruits, cassis; medium body with long, slight white pepper finish; great pairing with braised beef shanks; a winner and great value! — 7 years ago

First had this as a barrel sample in 2014 and it was unbelievable then. Now several years in bottle, some of the stunning lushness has receded and a tart acidity has come along to balance the fruit for the long haul. Still very good, but I miss the velvety, juicy treasure this was pre-bottling. If you open it soon, give it 2-3 hours in the decanter so it can unfurl itself. — 8 years ago

Aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry, cassis, licorice, dried herbs, and espresso. The palate, riding on the medium to full body, is round and lively with delicious ripe black fruits and juicy acidity.
Enjoyable now, and will have at least a decade ahead. — 4 years ago

Flavorful, fruit forward, earthy Pinot! Started with a sweet strawberry edge and turned into tart, earthy strawberry/plum with a dry and almost spicy finish. — 8 years ago

The nose deserves a 9.3, but a slightly bitter note on the palate holds this one back. Didn't dissipate with air. — 10 years ago

Popped and poured; served double-blind. The wine pours a deep burnished gold color with no signs if particles or gas. Medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is vinous. Powerful notes of desiccated tropical fruit: pineapple, mango, and star fruit with some dried apricot and lemon pith. Oxidative notes of nuts, mushroom and spices compliment. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium acid. Confirming the notes on from the nose. The finish is long, creamy and slightly sherried. Based off what is presented in the glass, this wine has at least 10-15 years of age, possibly more. Initial conclusions is this could be Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, or Riesling. Personally, I didn’t get the acid of Riesling or Chenin so I was leaning pretty heavily towards Chardonnay. I then vacillated between New World or Old World…which is tricky territory for me since I don’t have a lot of experience with old Chardonnay from either. There was undoubtedly generous fruit…and use of oak…so if this was from the Old World, it was likely going to be Burgundy from the Côte du Beaune. And that’s what I called, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru from a warm vintage like 2005. I’ll be damned…a 1999 Anderson Conn Valley Chardonnay?! Wild. This has held up remarkable well. That being said, aged Chardonnay may not be for everyone. In the off chance you have any of these laying around, I would drink now. — 3 years ago
