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.  — 23 days ago

Going big on this rating. Everything I love in a CA Pinot. Fruit spice and complexity in a medium body beaut. — 8 years ago

Another in the horizontal tasting, this one was much more fruity and juicy and ripe red, fruit, raspberries, sand, apples, definitely the chew your and more toothsome fruits, but still an easy drinking wine.  — a month ago

It has gotten to the point I need two wines with the Allen Brothers sampler of Ribcap & Wagyu Ribeye w/ my Roasted Rosemary Potatoes & Christina’s tasty glazed carrots.

The 02 DuHart over achieving the vintage.

The 12 Lutum Durell Vineyard hugs the Rosemary Potato’s & Glazed Cooked Carrots.

The DuHart is dark fruit currants, smoke, tobacco, pronounced lead pencil, clay, river stone, limestone, dark spice, dry& fresh herbs, eucalyptus/mint, dry twig, crushed dry rocks, forest floor and dark wilted flowers with nice acidity & polish & elegance for days. — 4 years ago

Wow, this took a while to open up. Definitely started off with almost a sour note to it, and I was a little worried. The bottle was past its prime. However, after a good 30 minutes of allowing it to breathe, he really got some good herbal and forest floor notes among cool fruit with a nice structure that wasn’t flabby or overly processed. Got basically a horizontal tasting of this and the other sub regions of this producer and I’m excited to see what the other ones bring.  — a month ago
