The mighty Pisoni Vineyard produces some very compelling Pinot Noir. It’s hard to pick it early because the signature of the site seems to develop later. I liked it. Not to take any of the winemaking for granted it seemed fully ripe but had an acid tang I was surprised by. More time in bottle might grind that down. I’d dance to it — 9 months ago

A little gem from Olivia Capiaux . Killer old vine chenin from Napa. Bright fresh with just the right touch of richness! — 6 years ago

Amazing to drink this wine 12 years after helping the master Sean Capiaux make it! Still young and intense, great concentration, long finish. Inky soy sauce and still full of raspberry and blueberry fruit... — 6 years ago

You give Merlot a good name! Just spectacular. They will never make enough of this. So glad to have a private viewing again a few weeks ago. One of my favorite merlots. @Sean Capiaux — 5 years ago

Rich, dark fruit aromas. Smooth tastes of plum, blackberries and black cherries. Medium finish with a hint of spice. Excellent New World styled Pinot Noir. — 7 years ago
