Really balanced Andrea finish. A touch thin keeping it from amazing — 2 days ago
While not showing its best, it’s always a special and humbling experience to drink DRC! A little advanced, but still showing complex stemmy aromatics with cola and Asian spices. Great with the dry-aged duck but not necessarily memorable on its own outside the label. — 7 days ago

Pretty color of ruby with medium intensity and a light brick rim.
Pretty nose of red fruits with wild flowers and light forest floor notes.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with sweet cherries, cooked plums, light oak, mushrooms, spices, chocolates, earth and herbs.
Long finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Pinot Noir from Oregon. Elegant and nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.
Burgundy in style, and I really enjoyed smelling it for a long while.
This 19 year old Pinot Noir is still drinking beautifully. Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
Wine Spectator 92 points. Wine Advocate 91 points. Wine Enthusiasts 90 points.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 20 minutes of airtime.
Balanced and easy drinking. Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.
A blend of Pinot Noir grapes from all of the Single Vineyards of the estate. Aged in 100% New French oak barrels for 16 months. Unfiltered and unfined.
14.5% alcohol by volume.

Feel that this has closed down a lot since our last try. A lot less lively and hard to put your finger on. Still gorgeous and silky...will always remain one of my most favourite wines! Paired with pasta putanesca. — 4 days ago
