Damn. Liaison....every year. 2019 is all about elegance and femininity. Grand Cru stuff. Burgundian by weight, Germanic in tone. Impossible expression crammed in the most dainty little box. Looks like it could be thin, but it's not. Murky, unfiltered, straddles the tradition and the wild. Bright red cherries and mossy forresty, earth...strawberries and rosemary on the periphery. What a bargain. — 2 years ago
Like a soapy tropical little German Pils from Scheurebe. Grapefruit scented mosaic hops and dank marijuana crystals. Hints of mango and papaya floating in the periphery. A body with some girth and buttercream to yang the ying of acid you couldn't complain about not even for a second. — 2 years ago
Before completed, this was purple with a brick halo. Something worth a good sniff. Chocolaty leather, tobacco, cedar, raisins, plum. Big, vibrant mouth with a plush texture and firm acid. Ripe strawberry and cherry core, spiced cola and minerals in the periphery.
Flavors in the raspberry spectrum linger for quite a bit. — 3 years ago
Fantastic- this had some impressive density of flavors, thick & inky, immediately gave off red & black berried fruit, black cherry and some herbaceousness on the periphery. So polished, smooth & elegant on the palate, just very refined, very fruit driven tho - was hoping for a bit more personality & secondary flavors & aromas. Supple tannins and a nice long finish. — a year ago
Periphery of typicity, but too sunkissed for my preference. — 3 years ago
The nose initially had an interesting restrained spiciness, which evolved slowly in the glass to be dominated by a fruit-tinged (strawberry?) earthiness. I was expecting a similarly restrained palate, and was very surprised when it burst forth with a pure and bright red fruitiness, supported by solid cherry notes on the periphery. Very unique, at least relative to the CA Pinots that I have tasted, and very enjoyable! — 6 years ago

I asked the group I was having dinner with how would they describe the wine. “Smooth, almost sweet, fruit forward, and amazing” were the prominent descriptions. It’s a very good cab. Easy to drink and went well with the Italian food were had for dinner — a month ago
