Well structured and balanced wine; great density and silky tannins. Blackberry, black cherry, cedar and clove meet on the palette. Great find! — 6 years ago

Love this. Great balance. Tart/ripe cherry side of things. Oak comes through very strong but it’s so balanced that it works. Could decant for an hour or so. Glad I have another bottle — 8 years ago

Smooth Pinot Noir from Marin County, dry, with medium tannin and mild fruit, at Urban Grape in South Boston, MA — 7 years ago
Deep dark garnet color. Nice dark cherry round fruit and depth here. Enough complexity with wood and earth. What a nice finish with firm long tannins that melt into a clean finish. Best merlot dominant wine I’ve had in a while. Had it with a NY strip at Capital Grille. — 7 years ago

Drinking this 2008 in 2026 and wow. What a treat. Dark berries. Subtle oak. Smooth silky on the tongue. What a bargain — 7 months ago
My head is spinning. I didn’t know 14.5% Cali Syrah could be so fresh and vibrant. — 7 years ago
This is an exceptional Sauvignon Blanc. It is a cool climate wine, more similar to a Sancerre than a new world SB. It knocked my socks off. — 8 years ago

Slightly better than expected. Nice fruit but not much complexity. It is still quite young though.
