Single vineyard stunner from Ross Cobb in a magnum. In a great place right now. Delicate but unmistakably California. Rhubarb and strawberry. Restrained at 12.5% — 3 years ago

Fort Ross Seaview Bordeaux blend. Old world style. Truffle, cedar & cassis nose. Fresh style on the palate. Drinks more Super Tuscan than Bordeaux. Black currant & tobacco, but loads of fresh acid. Drinks great with a pork ragu & pasta. Definitely one to seek out. — 2 years ago
First of the reds in our South African blind tasting. This is the benchmark Pinot Noir for South Africa made by Emul Ross. Light to medium garnet red with light bricking on the edges. A touch earthy and smokey on the nose with some cherries. Medium plus acidity (6.5/10) and light tannins (4.5/10). Light plus to medium bodied with some cherries, a little petrol and floral with raspberries and some meaty notes. Medium plus to long finish. Needed a solid decant to open up and was better when I sneaked a peek on day two. Drink from 2018 till 2025. — 5 years ago
Etna Ross with some complexity. Cherries, fresh and dried purple flowers are prominent, followed by a bit of red currant and black pepper mid-palate. Long finish of medicinal herbs. High acidity. This wine is longing for hearty fare. — 2 years ago
Dusty red plum, tart cranberry-raspberry grolleau & côt blend from the Loire. Soft tannins, a little chewy & light bodied. Found a few bottles as mistake finds at signature BCL for $27 +tax & scooped them all up after listening to Natural Disasters where Marissa Ross raved about the vintage. I heard this one has the tendency to turn a little mousey after a while, but I only experienced that once out of four bottles when drinking it day two 💥 — at Crystal Beach — 3 years ago

Bone dry, a bit of grip, nice raspberry flavor, and good freshness. Solid. — 16 days ago
