Delicious wine. So good and just a baby. — 11 years ago
Just insane QPR. Drinking like a white burg of serious pedigree, it’s got a gorgeous nose with cotton candy, vanilla bean and yellow orchard fruit layered within PYCM-esque matchstick reduction. Great balance of acid, ripeness and energy with impressive density and weight. Love these wines! — 6 months ago
Rainier cherry, wild strawberry, red plum and apple fruits, a bit of nectarine and orange peel too.
Sage and savory herbs, rose petal, gravelly, saline tinged minerals, good acid, and a creamy note throughout.
This wine serves all purposes!
Beautiful wine! — 6 years ago
Ruby red, rich. Cherry. Later Passion fruits. Raen Winery Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 17 @, , 250910 — 9 months ago
This is really refined with black tea, rose petals, orange and blue fruit. It’s medium-bodied with wild-strawberry and forest-floor flavors. Medium-bodied with great vibrancy and beautiful tannins running through the center palate, which is stitched into the wine. Long and true. 100% whole-cluster fermentation. Subtle and energetic. - JS99 — 4 years ago
This comparison was pretty awesome, had duck breast rubbed down with chinese five spice powder to accompany the wine. All very different. The Raen always takes me somewhere special, very unique in California. The Davies is a wine with gravitas and balance. And this one by domaine de la cote has laser beam precision and focus. The tension in the glass is very much alive with all three. Both aging, and enjoying now are recommended — 7 years ago
Thanksgiving wine. Couldn't resist diving straight into the allocation I just received. Probably could have used more time but very good. Remains to be seen if it's as good as the previous effort... #sonomaproud #napastrong — 9 years ago
