An outstanding wine. Black cherries, blueberries, blackberries, a hint of tobacco and sweetness. Full-bodied. Earthy and smokey on the nose with a spectacular finish. Decanted for about six hours. Still plenty of cellaring potential. — 2 days ago

I am more partial to AO cabs than Pinots. This is a good wine (I have never tasted an AO wine that isn’t), but not spectacular. Blueberries and plums and a bit of smoke. A bit weak at the finish. — 3 days ago

Outstanding. I loved the 2018, and the 2017 is just as good. Bright, fresh tropical fruits. Lychee, coconut, pineapple, and tangerine. A bit (but not too) buttery and zesty. — 12 days ago
