Cherries, nice smoothly integrated tannins. A bit more sugar than I usually go for but overall extremely pleasant. I could see this going well with a meal that wants a leaner but still luscious red — 17 days ago

5/25 with Howard. Lotsa power. Hard edged at first with lots of structure. Mellowed beautifully. Complex. Became port like. 90 — 3 days ago

2011 was ready to go. First montefalco I’ve had with mellowed tannins - huge nose and smooth delivery — a month ago

Decant and pour. Restrained notes of dark fruit, smoke, leather, tobacco, grilled bell pepper. Taste: cherry, blueberry, currants, crushed granite, truffles. A young wine that I would luv to drink again in 15 years. — 24 days ago

A favorite. This btl is back on track. Focus and length to sway the most ardent skin-contact skeptic. — 14 days ago

First pour is lithe and delicate. With a few hours decant, not the most full bodied, but very accessible at less than nine years from vintage. Drying tannins, subtle secondary notes on palate. — 3 days ago

A little shy at first but really opens up and shows after a couple hours of air. Classic Santa Cruz Mtns Pinot. Earthy. A touch candied. Long finish. Pretty wine. 👍🏼 — 23 days ago

Exactly what I was looking for to pair with shrimp and zucchini. Good acidity. Good weight. A bit of vanilla but not much. — 6 days ago

Fresh forest fruits, and macerated berries as well, sweet spices, soft oak, beautiful tannines, gentle acidity. A bigger, fuller styled Percarlo, wonderful! — 5 days ago

Mature Barolo with scents of violets, pencil shavings, and red berries. On the palate the wine becomes medium bodied with earthier notes but equally enticing. — a month ago
