Very nice and classically Californian. Oak forward with cream followed by pear and a balancing touch of citrus. A little oakier than my favorites but still nice. You’ll like more if that’s your style. — 3 months ago

Cherries in the nose with blackberry and baking spice in the palate. Paired well with Gouda. — 22 days ago
A spectacular, powerful wine. Fabulous bouquet. Dark cherries, black raspberries, and dark chocolate. Silky smooth with a satisfyingly long finish. Still has lots of cellaring potential, but pretty fabulous now. — 22 days ago
Exquisite. Cherry notes balanced with earth. — 2 months ago
Reddish in color with medium intensity.
Fruity nose with cherries, fresh raspberries, light oak, spices, chocolates, earth, herbs and tobacco leaf.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with strawberries, raspberries, fresh cherries, light oak, chocolates, herbs, earth, light tobacco and black pepper.
Good length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy pomegranates.
This 3 year old Pinot Noir from Russian River Valley is starting to drink very nicely now.
Fruit forward and easy drinking, elegant and nicely balanced. Tangy and refreshing, complex and entertaining.
Will continue to age nicely in 5 years.
I gave it a light chill and had it all by itself.

Aromas of fresh orchard fruit and ripe stone fruit, with pear and white peach at the forefront. Subtle ritual fruits as well. The palate shows more stone fruit richness with vanilla and hint of pie crust and seashell. Good acidic backbone. Clean lingering finish.
This is delicious and so easy to drink, but also quite complex. — 4 days ago
