Purchased based on Sam’s involvement with other projects that I have enjoyed, this is not my go-to style for a Pinot. It is more ripe and alcoholic (14.8%!) than I would usually purchase. I was told that this is characteristic of the UV vineyard. That being said, this was very enjoyable. It is a cab-lover’s Pinot as it is plush and broad on the palate. While it won’t be my daily go-to Pinot, I will definitely keep some on hand to fit the right mood and/or company. — 4 years ago
I hate to say it, but this stuff really is a higher class of vodka. No off, medicinal notes. No cloying artificial sweetness. It just tastes like the cleanest, purest spring water was made magically alcoholic. — 2 years ago
Ate leftovers from Dry Creek Kitchen dinner on 5/28/19 in our room (16) at Farmhouse Inn. Lamb chops, kale salad, mushrooms, pasta salad, and chocolate chip cookies for dessert. All delicious. Wine perfect pairing. — 5 years ago

Balanced, complex and bright PN from Sonoma. Young cherry, raspberry on the front. Spices and a hint of leather in the finish. Soft tannins. — 3 months ago
A vodka to celebrate: flavor! — 5 years ago
There is a lot of vodka in the world. It’s just vodka so what does it matter right? Well it does. This one is somewhat neutral but blends well and does not go weird or vanish altogether. New Amsterdam (from Gallo) vanishes. Grape vodkas go weird as heck. Potato vodkas are finicky. I would put this above Sveda and about equal with Finlandia. No need to pay twice as much for grey goose when it’s being mixed. — 5 years ago

Pop and pour. A brilliant light gold color. On the nose: apple, lemon, floral, saline, and apricot. Taste: creamy, dense wine with Asian pear, hard lemon candy, minerals, saline, crushed stone and a white pepper/lemon peel/oak medium plus finish. Acidity seems a little lite...drink em if you got em. — a month ago
