so lovely. profound freshness. dark red fruit. black tea and damp earth on the finish. oak is perfectly integrated, 60% of which is new which i was informed is quite out of the ordinary for this producer—but you'd never guess from tasting. have always loved sonoma pinots and this is certainly no exception. — 8 months ago
Deep purple in color; cocoa powder, dried figs, and bwy leaves on the nose; medium acidity, medium tannins; tastes like molasses, blackberry jam, and cedar with a long finish. Great for a boxed wine. — a year ago
Went through a dramatic slow journey once opened from a big fruity nose that would have made me guess a young gamay, followed by a teeth chipping tannic front, and then (maybe an hour in?) settled down like a older confident burgandy. — 4 months ago

Again, another label that caught my eye and I’m glad it did. Plum, dark cherries, a hint of chocolate, black pepper. Mild tannins, smooth feel - not astringent. Overall, warm, well balanced. We had this with cheeses, apples, olives, salami, candied pecans - paired well with all. Sadly, no Trader Joe’s where I live - can see a road trip in my future. — a year ago
Ruby colored and almost transparent. Aroma of fresh cherries. Flavor notes of fresh cherries, cherry pie, and a lingering cranberry sauce note. Amazing weekday or mid day sipper. Amazing with grilled chicken or smash burgers. — 5 months ago
Out of magnum: Stunning and powerful. Poured it along side grand crus and precious other magnums. Every glass poured was met with dilated pupils. Prosciutto, unripe figs. A wine you can smell at distance. — 8 months ago
