Oak overtones, giving way to a medium full body with unexpected depth on the finish. Fruit notes are light amidst the slightly toasted backbone, but maintains a light acidity in the heavier body. — a month ago

Great Pinot from great region…Russian River Santa Lucia Highlands from where many fine Pinots evolve. Agree with the pros and the guy who lists about 47 flavors out of this wine…wow, wish I had his taste buds but it may be a nuisance (he must be a chef or a herb farmer)…what a palate! My tastes are more prosaic…a big elegant Pinot, deep dark berry, legs and full flavored, full-bodied yet velvety smooth, perfect balance with a few hours of open…bought by all the surgeons and lawyers…one of the very top Pinots… — 2 years ago

Foot of the Andes Mountains on banks of Maipo River in Upper Maipo Valley, 650 meters above sea level, vineyard dates back to mid-19th century, when first pre-phylloxera French varieties were brought to Chile, deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits & mineral notes, a blend of 92% Cab Sauv & 8% Cab Franc, aged for 15 month in French oak (65% new). On the palate flavors cherry & blackberry with powerful tannins, long finish, very tight, ending with mineral and tobacco notes. Needs ten years. Tasting Sample! — 5 years ago

The colour is a quite pale Ruby. Red fruited (cherry) aromatics with Sous Bois. Light to medium bodied but with M plus intensity. As Bob Campbell MW said this wine has good vinosity (or Pinosity if you prefer). Pinots like this and Ata Rangi, both from Martinborough , challenge the Pinot dominance of Central Otago and Canterbury in New Zealand. — 8 months ago

Cinsault - 130+ year old vines
Organic, unfiltered, nouveau style, 12.5% abv. Body is light, red fruit, med acid, some tannin, good food wine, spring picnic and warm weather red. On second day of being opened, more fruity raspberry notes appeared.

From website:
Twenty-five acre own-rooted Bechthold vineyard, planted in 1886 by German immigrant Joseph Spenker, is the oldest continuously farmed vineyard in Lodi. 

Nestled in the Mokelumne River area of Lodi, the organically dry farmed vineyard with head-trained vines is believed to be the world’s oldest surviving Cinsault vineyard. — 5 years ago
