GK? Medium to deep gold at 20+ years, slightly viscuous, fruity and moderately sweet but with plenty of refreshing acidity. Elegant summer sipper — 3 months ago
All estate fruits aged 11 months in French barrel, 30% new. A taut, mineral-driven Chardonnay with chiseled structure and sharp acidity balanced by deft use of oak. The tension between brisk salinity and supple texture is lovely. Give it another 3-5 years in the bottle. — 6 months ago
Solid. Sharp flavor but has good depth and complexity. Good body for a Pinot. — 7 months ago
Light bodied. Delicious with notes of licorice, but not overwhelming. — a year ago
Notes of plum, earth, soy sauce. I thought tannins were still fairly pronounced but not rough. Lovely pairing with our smoked abalone and black cod….. — 4 years ago

Really nice overall, but definitely lost quite a bit from night 1 to 2. Pretty refined but with great earth and body. Has a bit of a rounded crunchy fruit quality in a nice way. Nice pairing with chicken thighs with feta and olives but was probably a better pairing a few years ago. Still nice and always appreciate bize. — 7 months ago

A gentleman told me that he and I would always be friends. We shared a plate of cherries and drank this wine while watching a sunrise. I never saw him again. — a year ago
Long cool growing season 11 months 30% new French oak unfined unfiltered. Ripe fruit, very nicely balanced wine 13.5%. Enough acidity. There is an agreeable soft/plushness to this. I think from the 30% new oak there’s some chocolatey lusciousness complexity. It’s good. Probably a crowd pleaser.  — a month ago
Aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and coastal wildflowers lead into a palate of pear, citrus oil, and crushed stone. The concrete egg and Austrian foudre lend purity and gentle roundness, while 15% new French oak adds subtle spice and toast. Bright acidity carries a saline, mineral-driven finish with impressive length and poise. — 8 months ago
A bit syrupy on the nose but the highish abv is surprisingly well balanced. Lot of blueberry. One of the better Pinots imo but not worth the extra wait and still boring — 10 months ago
Light cab, not as full flavor but pairs well with meat — 2 years ago
