Has the 2018 on July 1, 2023. Really big wine. This is a lot bigger body than I expected. Deep, dark reddish purple in color. Lots of pepper along with leather on the nose. Big dark fruits- blackberry, dark cherry and a bit of violet come next. Slightly herbal as it nears the end. Not very tannic on the finish with the amount of oak in this one. Oak on the nose just keeps going all the way through. Warming barrel character with hint of alcohol burn near the end. Enjoyed this one but was way bigger all the way around than our usuals. — 3 years ago
Fort Ross Seaview Bordeaux blend. Old world style. Truffle, cedar & cassis nose. Fresh style on the palate. Drinks more Super Tuscan than Bordeaux. Black currant & tobacco, but loads of fresh acid. Drinks great with a pork ragu & pasta. Definitely one to seek out. — 6 years ago
Maybe the greatest wine in the world and the finesse shows in every dimension but not something to chase for us — 8 years ago

This wine is still giving everything wonderful. No sign of any age. Full body. Complex. Lingering finish. I just love that it’s a $30something bottle that can stand next to much more expensive bottles. — 4 years ago
Opens up with floral, strawberry and red berries notes. Upon first taste some strawberry and subtle watermelon, nice acidity going. Medium body and leaning towards the dry spectrum of wines. A bit of a bite at the end but not offensive. Perfect summer wine, had it alongside some fresh ceviche — 6 years ago
