Great RRV Pinot with cherry and dark berries mixed with a touch of floral smoke. Delicious but I much prefer Willamette PNs from OR which are generally less expensive and earthy bodied. — 3 months ago

Medium lemon color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits and nutty toasty notes. On the palate flavors of peach, citrus and pear with vanilla and flinty notes, creamy texture. Medium+ finish, lively acidity, ending with fruit, nuts, toasty oak and savory citrus character. Nice! — a year ago

Too much time in the picnic cooler. Once it warmed up and had some time to breathe, a first-rate example of Dry Creek Zinfandel. — 3 months ago

Amazing, excellent Pinot Noir. No sign of obvious aging, lovely balance and plenty of fruit and character.

This was a bottle of the 2011 consumed in December 2023. Wonderful. — 2 years ago

The 2021 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley) is super-expressive right out of the gate. Tangerine oil, lemon confit, chamomile, spice and lightly honeyed notes all run through this creamy, inviting Russian River Chardonnay from Gary Farrell. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2024)
