Interesting sense and bravado to this wine... decided, somewhat codified and shy, but that's just what makes it a gem... — 8 years ago

What any Pinot lover would dub as charming and instructional, sensory and scenic with its energetic flavor arrangement. Especially texture-oriented and formidable for a varietal too often dismissed as 'light' and 'feminine'. — 8 years ago

A Pinot that sings and has a tempered approach, but still convinces. For cheese, salad, salmon, or pasta pomodoro.. Sonic with its introduction, charming in summation. — 9 years ago

9.2

A puzzle that demands you solve it... and you want to with its depth and dark, haunting disposition. This bottle is a reflection of love, of California's caress of wine life, growth-- texture and tannin with fearless fruit delivery. Plan around this offering, a dish with climates of flavor and charisma that match this Bordeaux vixen. — 8 years ago

Light, lovely communicative Pinot-- Vocal and fruit forwarded with candor and conviction... Not a surprise with this winemaker and vineyard master.. This Pinot announces itself and charms at the same time.. One of those Pinots that possesses the senses. Illusionary, beautifully bizarre, animated and theatrical. — 9 years ago

9.4

A wicked 2012 representation. Full and kinetic with its acute flavor quakes and layers. It speaks to you with more posture than you might expect from a Merlot. And if you're the type to stereotype this Left Bank beauty, this is sure to put you mute. — 8 years ago
