Had the honor of tasting this with the wonderful Rosemary Cakebread herself. Just a great wine. Full of smoke and cured pork with the perfect balance of fruit and acidity. — 10 years ago

The '12 is outstanding. First vintage of estate fruit. High percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon gives it muscle but it's graceful at the same time. Black fruit, cocoa and coffee. Subtle oak. Just gorgeous. — 10 years ago

2012 Finn. Possibly one of the best RRP I've ever had. So much earth on the nose followed by beautiful floral notes and soft red fruits. More Burgundy than California. — 10 years ago

Les Claypool is in the wine game now, and it's awesome. Single vineyard Sonoma Pinot with lush fruit and subtle earth, barnyard notes. Soft but complex. Better than Pork Soda. — 10 years ago
