Pure black cherry fruit complemented by earth and forest floor. A medium plus palate with great roundness without excessive richness at 13.5% ABV. This is a cooler climate site and definitely a favorite of mine. — 9 days ago

Definitely need a moment to catch his breath. It opened up the chewy and savory fruit and wonderful structure, but it actually faded pretty quickly, after an hour the wine started to lose of its life and all of those flavors sort of simmer down into just a good ripe round juicy Pinot. But for about 45 minutes there there’s a window where this wine was absolutely delicious.  — 9 months ago

73% Cabernet Sauvignon; 16% Malbec; and 11% Merlot. Red plum, black raspberry and cherry fruit, with mocha, chocolate and baking spices. Creamy and well balanced. Philippe Melka is the consulting winemaker — 5 months ago

This is, excuse me, a damn fine bottle of wine.

Worn leather, cigar smoke, and vanilla on the nose. Intense palate of overripe blackberry and cassis. Powerful but well integrated oak. Very long, complex finish.

Drank while watching a fan edit of Fire Walk With Me. Needs a solid decant. — 7 months ago

Really great. Needs about 3 hours of air. So well balanced. A lot of cocoa, blackberry, garden dirt, some tree bark, some chocolate cherries, but very dark, some menthol in the background, long finish, almost coffee and cocoa, some fruits as well. Outstanding! — 3 months ago

A property I have visited & still have in my collection.

A well made Oregon Pinot. Just moved past this extracted & slightly sweeter style. My palate just doesn’t enjoy it as much these days. — 6 months ago
