Six Pinots, all made by Ed Kurtzman, of August West and Roar fame who also consults to Freeman and Mansfield Dunn. Ed joined our tasting. Whole cluster, seemed a bit too steamy for my palate. — 5 years ago

Excellent Cali Syrah with good dark red fruits earth and fall leaves with firm yet almost sweet palate and texture and long finish. Great pairing with Wilson’s pork butt goulash. — 5 years ago

Cigar box, tart fruit, pepper, and leather with a mineral backbone. Not quite the heft of premier Black Jack vintages and with a little drop off at the end of the palate, but chewy tannins and tingly acid roar back in the finish. — 7 years ago

Second time I’ve have this wine in 3 weeks, got to keep better records. For some reason this bottle tasted a bit better but still needed to be drunk. Very enjoyable meal at Little Hen. — 7 years ago

I thought that this was going be much better than it was. A bit of a disappointment (a little bit of a rut here wine-wise here in the last few days). This wine has a great nose. Floral, herbs, hint of tobacco leaf, pepper, bacon, raspberry and kirsche. But the entry is a little bit metallic and flat, reminiscent of the nose. A little muted. The finish is a little bit tart and acidic and fades rather fast. Out of balance. Not really all that enjoyable and probably think this one would have done much better 1-2 years ago or perhaps maybe in a dumb phase? — 7 years ago

Bright & beautiful. Perhaps enjoying it a bit young but very much enjoying. Light garnet in color. Fresh berries on the nose. Fresh strawberry & cherry, gently herbal, white pepper, soft vanilla finish. — 3 years ago

We had fun coming up with the descriptors of the nose on this one. Twizzler, cherry cough drops, you get the idea. typical of very ripe picking that Roar is known for. — 6 years ago

Followed the Ulysse Collin Extra. Rut, so the dosage seemed a bit high. I had the 2006 about a month ago and it was good, not great. This was good, but not great again. Enjoyable, but not entirely special. — 7 years ago
