One of my favorite Pinots. Loads of bottle age and it's holding up just fine. Herbal opener and full of red and black fruits & blackberry. Concentrated with some acidity. Strong black tea finish. — 20 hours ago

Inly black in the glass with an extraordinary nose. Heavy floral notes, blueberry, cassis and a hint of ripened raspberry. I'd go full-bodied on this Cab Franc. As it opened it showed amazing structure and elegance. The bottle age served it well. — 2 months ago

Very floral on the nose. Stone fruits, bright cherry, cedar, tobacco, complexity galore and powerful. Full bodied with a never ending finish. — 2 months ago

Killer 100% Viognier. Opens with pineapple, lemon and honey. Opulent and med-full bodied. Rich and creamy with a pear and apricot never ending finish. Loved this wine. — 17 days ago

9.0

Black cherry, clove, dusty cigar humidor and some milk chocolate but this doesn't support the price point. More of a red blend profile. Might need some time. — a month ago

9.6

Amazing Cab sourced from Harlan Estate, BOND and Promontory young vines. Extraordinary complexity loaded with red and black fruits. Elegance, balance and everything you'd want in a special wine. Drinking fine now but easily handles another 5-10 yrs. — 2 months ago

An evening of Cakebread Cellars. The Pinot and CabFranc were the shining stars. Earthy tones with a hint of cherry and back spice. — 2 months ago

This is for the Noumenon Syrah. Thompson Vineyards. Only 51 case made. Dovecote needs some love on this site. Blue and red berry and baking spice aromas on the nose. The palate is loaded with florals and black raspberry with a peppercorn finish on the backend. Just an excellent Syrah. — 22 days ago

First the nose will hit you. Extraordinary. Next red berries, black berries, eucalyptus and orange back end. (I might be the only guy to get an orange note). Balance, structure and the finish all scream of a very special wine. I don't know this Martha of Martha's Vineyard but I'd love to meet her. Top 5 of the night. — 2 months ago

Openers of black plum, tart cherry, and florals throughout the glass. Adding a touch of mulled spices. Smooth tannins with a decent finish. — 2 months ago
