To me, this drinks almost like a ripasso. Deep purple in color, dark cherry and raisin. After opening for a bit it softens nicely. — 8 years ago

Bramble berries? Is that a real thing?

In British English, a "bramble" is any rough (usually wild) tangled prickly shrub—specifically the blackberry bush (Rubus fruticosus)—or any hybrid of similar appearance, with thorny stems. Bramble or brambleberry may also refer to the blackberry fruit or products of its fruit (e.g., bramble jelly).

Suprisingly good Tuesday night drinker. Even more so after sitting over night. — 9 years ago

This one was dug out of the cellar by a friend. We bought it years ago on a trip out to Sonoma and to my knowledge they've made very few cabs since. I don't find any of the vegetal qualities I usually get from Anderson Valley cabs. Relatively soft tannins, good fruit. I imagine this vintage is gone but I still think it will drink well for a couple years. — 8 years ago

If we're talking about value (especially as pricey as Russian River Pinot has become) this is a great one. Very typical of the region, fruity, a bit spicy. Yes, I get it, it's Costco, but after just getting back from Sonoma my wallet needs a break. — 9 years ago

Still drinking well considering the age. Some spice and I think some flint. — 9 years ago

We've had this several times over the years. Tannic at first but opens up after an hour or so. Great with with heavier foods. A bit spicy, good fruit, fairly high alcohol. — 9 years ago
