2023 vintage. Medium-medium heavy body. Old-school RRV swill that eschews the sweetness that crept into the area during the Williams-Selyem heyday/culty scores of the mid-80's to mid-90's. Big tea, earth, light mud, restrained cherry and plum. Structure. Fruit. Balance. No sizzle, all steak. Blind tasting this, you'd be hella pressed to call this as being from RRV. Tastes like it's got 8-10 years of age on it already as a new release. You could sock this away for an easy 15-spot if you're that disciplined, unorganized or behind on opening other stuff. One of the best new domestic pinots tasted in the last few years. P.S...tasted the 2023 MacIntyre (the one that gets all the scores/pub) right after this. It was nice. A new school nice at 9.3. I'll take this any day that ends in "y" instead. You can have my MacIntyre allocation. 3.25.26. — 4 months ago

Berries and tobacco with earthy undertones. Finish is soft, short, and understated. Paired with prime rib and it held up well against the beef — 2 years ago
Deep, old gold color. Small bubbles. Apple and pear, creamy and high falutin' without being snooty. I love this one. — 4 years ago
When Viners is at Todd and Scotty’s, you know the heavy hitters are coming out. Double magnum bottle, from 2007. I had no idea the bottle size changes the way the wine matures.
Great aroma, with some prune and mineral notes. Floral rose flavor upfront before the juicy cherry thing comes back. Mouthfeel is really special. The slowest roll down the palate, super soft that turns into a tannic grapefruit feeling. Finish is a slow burn, that eventually made me take my flannel off. — 5 years ago
