One of my all-time favorites. Explosive on the tongue, fruit forward. A lingering aftertaste — 2 years ago
Beautiful classic Pinot with lots of bright red fruit. Laying some down for a few years. — 4 months ago

Excellent. Crisp savory and rolls across the tongue. Layers here and it is a great compliment to the special evening. — 4 years ago
Light bodied. Delicious with notes of licorice, but not overwhelming. — 3 months ago
1989 vintage. Last tasted 3 years ago (9.6). Nice fill. Durand used to open. Cork 95% saturated with extensive bottle rim cleaning involved before pouring. Not decanted. Tight, minty nose throughout along with a decided, lingering zinc note under the tongue at the finish line. Tasted 2 hours after opening. Power but without delineation. Just a consistent, forgettable push. Nothing wrong with the wine...it just needed more air/time and a decant but it wasn't my call. Feel like the zinc flavor would have dissipated/blown off with more time. Good but more memorable for what it wasn't vs what it was. Pity and an entire wasting of what could have been. 11.21.25. — 3 months ago

Really good CA Pinot. Lots of big flavor for a Pinot. Good smooth dark fruit with a long finish. Perfect with beef chili and jalapeño cornbread. Rec’d by guy at 31st & Harvard. — 2 months ago
