2024 vintage. Medium body initially that dwindled down to light medium body by the end of the sip. A bit too cool for school. Not my bag but plenty of people dig this fruit bomb in camo pajamas. 6.10.26. — 8 days ago

Great company, brought a Boheme, Occidental, Kosta Browne, and A Chev. Great foursome of Pinots! Boheme standing tall and driving a jammy strawberry fruit forward profile but finishing long and strong with berries and blue fruits!! Thanks Kurt! — 4 years ago

Bang! This is a really delightful Pinot from the Freestone vineyard. Located just west of Santa Rosa and bordering Occidental. 2018. Seductive nose, crushed violets as far as the eye can see. — 6 years ago

Slight nod over the Rivers-Marie 2013 Gioia (still very fruit driven) and Failla 2013 Occidental Ridge. The Littorai was the most evolved and Burgundian of the bunch. — 8 months ago

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Beautiful nose of red and black fruits with light wood, black tea, spices, light licorice, chocolates, herbs and tobacco leaf.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, chocolates, tobacco, light cedar, herbs, licorice, light earth and black pepper.

Long finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast. Rich and fruit forward. Elegant and complex. Nicely balanced and easy drinking, with a nice mouthfeel.

This 12-year-old Pinot Noir is drinking beautifully now, and drinking at its peak. Will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

Wine Advocate 95 points.

Drinking beautifully by itself with a light chill.

100% Pinot Noir grapes were aged in (30% new) French Oak barrels for 12 months. Unfiltered and unfined.

14.1% alcohol by volume.

[Sorry couldn't find an entry, logging here Failla 2018 Pearl essence] Single clone - Martini. One taste it surely reminds me of a bottle of Burn Cottage I had a while ago - the same acid lift and acid structure, tomato leaf, sour cranberry, citrusy and bright, red flowers and white + black peppers. 400-500 feet inland, super cool microclimate. Ah it turns out both connected to ted lemon! — 4 years ago

If you snagged a few bottles of this wine in your allocation you can feel comfortable opening a bottle soon - let the wine evolve in your glass. If you’re patient, you’ll be greatly rewarded by tucking a few bottles in your cellar for 5+ (and up to 11) years. 77% of the fruit comes from DuMOL’s O’Connell Estate Vineyard and 23% from Occidental Road Vineyard. Finn is always layered with a velvety finish, and always a Member favorite. — 5 years ago
