A dry but not astringent finish follows abstraction in the mouth. Maybe a little dry for an Alsatian Pinot, but this is beautifully crafted. — 5 years ago

It’s nice enough but overly oaky and nothing distinctive. Technically proficient but uninspiring. — 5 years ago

At least one step above “solid,” I find it abstracted and sophisticated but maybe a touch too much of the tannins? — 3 years ago

9.5

Just enough butter for interest, just enough strength to know it’s American and not French. So well balanced. Awesome finish and the bouquet is like the finest Chablis. — 5 years ago

Had this with paella and honestly thought it was a 50 dollar bottle - so good - quaffable and sophisticated at the same time. — 5 years ago

It’s lively and quaffable. A long cherry taste with velvety texture. Very happy with this one. — 5 years ago

7.1

This is a basic but serviceable weeknight red. Jammy and a little on the sweet side. — 5 years ago
