Decant and wait an hour for this soft, quiet yet fruity Pinot to open up. Perfect Monday night pour with our grilled pork chops, zucchini and potatoes dauphinois. — 10 years ago

Despite my Riedel Veritas glass, the nose is quiet. All I can sort of say is either "berries" or black berries.

Over the palate, plum and dark cherry. But there is an alcohol burn on the finish that you feel on the sides of your tongue, as you exhale berries. Hmmm.

Really nice Zin with our Sunday Mac & Cheese. Quite plum on the nose. Big red berries & raspberries up front. Nice long finish; with fudge and acidity hiding the alcohol. — 10 years ago

New winery to me and totally amazing. Plums, strawberries and red fruit on the nose. Very big over the palate with chocolate, toasted marshmallow with balanced tannins. — 10 years ago

Amazing pour. Yes please let this $10(!) gem breath for a good 30 minutes, pull out your Riedels and enjoy. Strawberries, milk chocolate(!?, wtf!), spice and soft pepper.

Boom! Amazing. I am glad I can not afford bottles like this on a regular basis. This sort of pour raises the bar so high, you have to remind yourself that the hobby is not about the benchmarks and that the benchmarks are easy to like.

Lush and a big 15.1%, that was tamed by our Reidel Veritas Cab glasses. On the nose; fern, berry, anise. Lisa is suggesting, "a hint of saddle". On the palette active tannins, alcohol, dark fruit, and mirepoix.
