1hr+ decant. Dark purple color. Dark fruit and cough medicine, with hints of prunes and baking spices on the nose. Cough medicine and more alcohol than I expected on the palate. Zero oak and lacks structure. Medium depth and the wine really coates the palate and sticks to your teeth. Medium plus finish. Good, just not my style.
Downgrading from 93 as this has become very harsh in the palate and fruit is gone. — 2 years ago
Nice nose of red and dark fruit. I pickup creme di casis, strawberries, chocolate, and oak. Taste is consistent with nose with good acidity and nice structure. Tannins are restrained. This is a nice enjoyable, fruit forward wine. About 30% Merlot, which is where I would bet the fruit comes in. Could be nice with a number of beef and heavier sauces pork dishes. — 5 years ago

Definitely smooth! Drinks like a blend with spicey notes. Almost thought it had a % of zin or Syrah. Loved it! Great with pizza! — 6 years ago

Definitely the same to me, tighter like the Reserve, not as fruit forward as the Cult. IMO🤷🏼♂️Zolecki’s 4/21/26, mistake drink, 2021 vintage 289.00 after we finished the bottle — 6 months ago

Deep red, full of ripe berries and plum, med body, balanced tannin and hint of sweetness. Great complement to meaty dish — 7 years ago
Had this tonight to contrast/compare 2015 to 2013 reserve we had Friday. More fruit forward with blackberry and cedar notes. Lovely black/blue fruit mid-palate and a bramble and cedar@finish. just needs more time in the bottle. Will be spectacular in 5 more years — 7 years ago

The house style is still here with ripe, slightly over extracted blue fruits, baking spices, cocoa, and a plush velvety palate. But the fruits become less confectionary and some savory components have emerged. Acidity seems more apparent. Really nice integration.
I think Pinot bottlings from Belle Glos are at their best with 5-8 years bottle aging. This is another proof. — a month ago
