The somm at Spago Las Vegas recommended this to go with poached halibut. Nice choice. Minerally, not oaky. A bit of citrus “surprise”. — 5 months ago
Dark ruby with blueberries, black currant, dark cherry, oak, and smoke. Tannins in control, smooth with a long finish. Great with our Ribeyes and Meat Church Cowboy butter! Very Nice! — 7 months ago
2021 vintage. Decanted and passed, with high air, between two decanters four times. If it were Caymus, woulda used a blender and forgotten. Last tasted 8.5.26 (9.6) Older (60's, 70's and early 80's) vintages more fruit driven which is quite the surprise in the current Napa Cab climate. Arguably the best GDL Private Reserve this estate has ever made. That goes back six decades. Supple, velveteen entry without the temptations of appearing over-extended. Structured mid-palate. A seeker's wandering, yet undeniably substantial finish. Taste it and you tell me. — a day ago

Stubborn acidity that was quite excessive in previous bottles has finally given in, so this was an enjoyable bottle. Nicely balanced with good complexity, it really went well with bbq rack of lamb chops. — 4 days ago

2024 vintage. Old-school, Oregon pinot stylings that just hit differently. Medium body. Starts off as a lowly workhorse, then intensifies into the thoroughbred this winery is perfectly capable of raising. Picked up two cases at a resto cost sub-$25 a btl. 4.1.26. — 6 months ago
Easy drinking mature Pinot. Unexpected joy. — 7 months ago

Black cherry, clove, dusty cigar humidor and some milk chocolate but this doesn't support the price point. More of a red blend profile. Might need some time. — 14 days ago
