My 11th bottle of an original dozen bought on release. Still going strong after 26 years. Colour of mid crimson with a tawny rim. When decanted the wine threw a lot of sediment. Herbaceous with red fruits - hint of red currants. Palate is mid weight - sweet and savoury at once, finishing with smooth resolved tannins. I will leave the last one for another 1 or 2 years / say early 2027. — 2 days ago

8/2024. A full bodied Zin with a different mix of fruit. Mild spice. Paired well with the dry aged ribeye at Hall’s Chophouse. — 6 months ago

CNY Day after dinner celebration at Grand with Lun and Fung. Complexity and red fruited profile still at forefront. Excellent with duck and other meats. — 25 days ago

Baking spices out the gate. Cinnamon. Sour cherry jam. Fresh rain soaked soil in the back. Maybe I should have decanted it but I’m getting a fair bit of heat. Granted after pregnancy and newfound mom life I’m very out of practice. Maybe some strawberry jam. On the palate we have a medium light body juicy, bright red fruit and spice at the end. Slightly sticky tannins. Nice way to celebrate the holidays. An affordable splurge to pair with a cheese board or a lean cut of beef like a fillet. Beef Wellington would be perfect. I festive pork roast would also go well. — 2 months ago

Surprisingly decent for $12 at Costco; not as flavorful as typical Sonoma coast Pinot noir; good red fruit taste but maybe a little too much residual sugar — a month ago

Excellent, with cola, dark fruits and some spice. Nice silky finish. Just got to think this would have been a bit better at 5 years vs 7. Got to drink my stash up. — 6 months ago

Heavy on the cherry / red fruit flavour — and that’s not a bad thing at all — 8 months ago
