2001. Amazing deep ruby color at age 18. Tastes 12 years younger. Saline and red cherry. Medium full body. Amazing at this age with enough tannin to last. Is it possible this Pinot has not peaked yet? — 6 years ago

1974. Translucent amber/ruby color. Medium body. No flaws. Probably 10-15 years past it's peak. Good notes of mahogany, celery, forest floor. Drink now. A treat. — 8 years ago

Great suave texture with black fruit. Linear structure. Not really like a TRB wine, stylistically. Give 3-4 years. Needs a good amount of air. A really impressive first release. — 8 years ago

My favorite Rose. And the 16 is the best one in at least 3 years. Really pretty with good fruit and less than 13% alcohol. — 8 years ago

A bit tight and not as much in the nose. Had a nice decant. Good mouthfeel. 08 might not be a great vintage for this otherwise great producer. — 8 years ago

2014. Best Opus I've had since the 1996. Translucent, medium bodied, suave and very elegant. I admire the wine. Price? Not so much. — 7 years ago

This is the third bottle of this I've had the last 5 years and I think this might be the best wine SQN has made since it stopped sourcing fruit. Potent, extreme concentration of black fruit and celery root. Had years ahead. Just a killer wine. — 8 years ago
