Above average but lots of dark fruit. Preferring this less than in the past. Thought some of the fruit would have mellowed to earthiness with the aging but no. Not as good if a value as it once was. Sad. — 10 months ago
This is a delicious red blend from Napa Valley.
Dry on the palate and very fruity with medium acidity.
Showing black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, figs, raisins, vanilla, cedar, licorice, light cola, coffee, earth, chocolates, mocha, peppercorn, herbs and Mediterranean spices.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This 10 year old is drinking so very nicely now. Elegant and delectable. Fruit forward and engaging.
Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Spicy and very complex.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 90 minutes in the bottle. Peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.
A gorgeous wine at this point. Easy drinking and dangerously good.
Good by itself, and paired deliciously with the leg of lamb.
A blend of 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Petite Sirah, 24% Merlot, 18% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec.
15% alcohol by volume.
95 points.

A lovely pinot that has more heft than your every day drinking wine. Stands up to other fancy Sonoma coast pinots. Lovely with turkey bolognese. — a day ago
