Brilliant showing. So much energy and unreal inner mouth perfume. Nose is all roses and tar. Cherries will develop. Drinking perfectly. Huge concentration and depth. Awesome mid season cherry fruit and a terrific finish. — 2 months ago

9.0

Medium Ruby with aromas of berry fruits and spicy notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, raspberry and red plum with pepper spice, floral and herbs. Fine tannins, medium finish ending with fruit, spice and earthy mineral character. Nice now! — 9 months ago

Great out of the gate. Needs an hour to fully express

Nose is cherry flower, as this opens some savoriness. Some old Nebbiolo character. Some sweet wood.

Palate is a bit tight. Super elegant cherries. Some bitterness. Very silky. As this opens more sweet cherry fruit. Elegant richness.

Beautiful Sonoma Coast Syrah. Won’t ever be confused with an Old World Syrah but no less enjoyable. — 4 years ago

Very aromatic. Quite balance and silky. Floral and a good fruit. Very nice. Tannin still very grippy and drank too early — 5 years ago

Some chocolate berry, and prun-ish notes. Not very long for a cab-sac.

Wow, a beautifully aging wine, nose clearly showed age with some tobacco, dried fruits, and a hint of a lizard’s cherry! Wine still has vibrant tannins and dark fruit elegance persists for a nice balance while it developed in the glass. 1993 vintage opened and drank on 25Feb2026!!! Enjoy — 4 months ago

8.9

Quite unusual for a wine from RC and especially for a Zin. Tart with pomegranate and cranberry notes. Finish is a bit short and slightly astringent finish. Benefitted from time in the glass. — 5 years ago

9.2

The wine has evolved nicely over the last few years resulting in a beautifully balanced and complex Sonoma Pinot. Rose petals, lavender and eucalyptus notes on the nose. Cranberry and sour cherries dominate the palate. Finishes with a little spice. While it is drinking well now it should continue to evolve over time. — 5 years ago
