Light ruby color. Interesting notes of blue fruit with a slight minerality hint. Elegant tastes of Wild berries, blackberries and dark chocolate with a hint of earthiness. Very Burgundian in style in my opinion. — 4 days ago

Beautiful garnet color. Very aromatic with notes of violets, raspberries, and bell pepper. Medium plus bodied wine with expressive tastes of strawberries, raspberries, black plums and black pepper. Medium acidity and very refined tannins. An outstanding wine by Steve Reynolds. — 2 months ago

Beautiful garnet color. Elegant hints of dark fruit, leather and cedar on the nose. Nicely integrated tastes of currants, black plums and a hint of licorice. The acidity is spot on creating a mouthwatering wine. The tannins are still a little evident and the finish shows signs of graphite and a little bit of bell pepper. — 3 months ago

Ruby colored liquid in my glass. Hints of cherry pie on the nose. Flavors of tart cherries, red plums and baking spices. Beautiful acidity. A very balanced wine. This is my last regular bottle of CP wine. I do have a VS Pinot which I will sit on for a while. Glad other wineries are making really good wines from the Clos Pepe vineyard. — 3 months ago

Man can’t live on Bordeaux alone. Time to head back to my comfort zone. Beautiful light garnet in the glass. Very translucent. Blue fruit, chocolate and rose petal hints. Elegant tastes of raspberries, blueberries, cassis and a little earthiness. A complex and fantastic expression of Russian River Pinot Noir. — 4 months ago

Beautiful white gold color in the glass. Very nice hints of green apples and citrus on the nose. Light to medium bodied wine with tastes of buttered popcorn, green apples, lemons and a slight hint of spice. Luscious acidity tells me this wine has a very long life. Pairs very nicely with my Chilean Sea Bass tonight. — 2 months ago

I don’t drink 25 year old wines very often but tonight I am trying this gem. As I decanted this wine (had a slight problem with cork I immediately began detecting a very nice hint of cinnamon and red fruit. Deep ruby with a brick meniscus around the edge. Juicy flavors of boysenberries, cranberries, and blueberries with a slight hint of bell pepper. The tannins were very refined with a very slight bit of grip on the the finish. Nice acidity. The finish seemed a little truncated, probably due to its age. All in in all a very nice wine. — 4 months ago
