Very good wine just not for me, I normally drink a lot of Napa valley wine and French wine. I’m not saying it’s a bad wine I’m just saying I guess I have a profile I enjoy more. I held the wine for 10 years, chilled and decanted for 1 hr, 1.5 hr, and then 2 hrs. I never experienced the normal oak, cigar, leather. You know all the taste profiles the pros mention. I enjoyed it but was still disappointed. I have one more bottle 2015 that I will drink in 2030. Maybe I’ll love it. I drank a younger bottle and really enjoyed it. It was almost overwhelming and hard to finish of course I was in las Vegas at a hotel enjoying the view from my hotel of the Bellagio fountains which made this spectacular both the wine and the view. Which was years ago but a special wine and a memory goes a long way. Especially when you get up in age. — 2 days ago

If you like Manischewitz this is the wine for you. So sweet I had to mix it with soda water to drink. — a year ago

Started off pretty tannic on the finish, decanted for a hour or so total smooth out to the point hey I want some tannins. Incredibly vevetly smooth wine one of the best Sirah I have drank very balanced. They kept the alcohol in the lower range 13.5% Getting a little expensive for me but just had to try some. — a year ago

Great Pinot , tastes like it from Burgundy. Red fruit, not sweet, white pepper, light tannins. Very well rounded. Did not get the mushroom forest nuances that others are describing.  — 3 months ago

I loved it would buy more when I find it. I would get into all the nuances of wine flavors that all the wine aficionado would say but hey just a serious good wine I’m not all the verbose. — a year ago

Nice wine very tight when first tasted. After some aeration /decanting came into its prime. A beautiful. Classic Chianti. The tannins needed to calm down and then all the different nuances came forth. Still at Costco. — 3 months ago

Just bought at Costco Santa Cruz $99.99 listed 40 to 50 $ more at other sites. WS # 6 for 2025 I’m sorry can’t give a real rating too early to drink. Will come back in 5 to 10 years. Have watched some YouTube tasters and they 🥰 — 8 months ago

I had the 2019 and it tasted just perfect for a Pinot from Sonoma County. Just the right amount of fruit throughout and a slightly dry finish with no detectable faults. It was delicious. — a year ago
