Pale straw without a hint of brick. Carmelized pear and vanilla on the nose, no alcohol despite a whopping 14.5 ABV. Delicious vanilla apple and pear with a bit of butterscotch on the palate. Holding quite well despite 6 or 7 years in the bottle. Drink now or hold a few more years. — 8 days ago

Deep purple without any brick. Tarry black fruit jam on the nose. Bright grape and jam on the palate. A heavy rendering of Grenache with tons of alcohol. Drink right away with grilled meats. — 8 months ago

Inky opaque purple. Jammy dark fruit nose. Subdued alcohol. Delicious boysenberry and black raspberry. Supple tannins. Seeking a bit of spiciness but not present at first few gulps. Love this wine. Wish I had more than a couple. Low acidity suggests drink now or soon before fruit is gone. — a year ago

This wine is testimony to great California Chardonnay that is also rare in style. No oak not malolactic fermentation. Hence the longevity. This 2011 is showing a bit of age with a deeper straw color than previous bottles from the same year. Still, only a hint of oxidation in the glass and on the nose. The pear and quince have evolved to a bit of caramel and butterscotch. Delicious to drink and I admit this might be the upper limit. I will drink remaining 2012 and 13’s in the next few months. — 23 days ago

Deep garnet and leggy in the glass. Subdued nose but leather and subtle smoked meat. Lightly fruity. Not a jammy over ripe like some California Syrah. Drink now — 3 months ago

9.2

Dang this is drinking well. Subdued fruity nose and rich purple color. Great balance with spice and tons of black fruit. Tempted to say hold but not too long so one can enjoy the fruits — a year ago

Perfect deep garnet color. Fruit way too subdued for a 2019. Nose was flat. Jordan is a tried and true California cab. But this bottle was not a good showing for the $56 bucks at Costco. Just a nice red wine. Sorry — a year ago
