Very subtle, soft, and beautiful, JINSEI is the true expression of a Russian River Valley Pinot Noir.

The density of the wine combined with real energy of character is striking - first floral and fruit, then developing at the end of the palate with a peak of acidity. — 2 months ago

More off dry #sauvignonblanc from CA versus NZ or French Sancerre. It’s a nice wine but I prefer the grassy, tropical tartness of those other regions. — 5 years ago

This is the champagne they served at Tobias Dorzon‘s charity dinner at the restaurant 13. Wonderful refreshing champagne fairly fruit noted without the casualty of typical restaurant champagnes serve drink toasta — 7 months ago

Unlike many California Chardonnay, this one has a bit more character and nuance. It is not a butter/oak bomb like so many. It was well balanced and paired nicely with a variety of dishes. — 2 years ago

Outrageous. More notes soon. Nose is all red cherries and spices. Dizzying array. Real aromatic depth and purity. So much mineral. Silky and juicy with elite finesse and wonderful freshness and minerality. Gorgeous wine. Initially it’s tannins but after 4-6 hours they melt into the fruit. 9.5 to 9.6 now. — 7 months ago

Smells like blackberry, dried cranberry (that one courtesy of my wife), and milk chocolate. Clearly good quality. Some slight baking spice. And dill? Tastes good! Less blackberry than the nose, a little more cherry and drier than expected. Still some slight dill. Silky. Like it! Killer deal for the $10 I paid (close out) - would be fine at $20. — a year ago

A new village level wine from Tobias Feiden. It is incredible. Nose is just next level. All terroir. Gorgeous sappy pine, tree bark, slate, some sappy sour cherries. Intoxicating. Color shows how aromatic this is. Gorgeous spice and dusty earth tones. Smells like a fantasy video game forest scene. A 9.3 on the nose. Easy. Palate is stunning. Fresh and transparent with gorgeous sappy sour and mid season cherry fruit, glorious spice and such purity. Clean as a whistle while having a serious transparency. Juicy. A hint of citrus due to brightness and just awesome texture. So balanced and so pure you can tell this is an expert winemaker. The drinkability factor of this wine is off the charts. What every “village” wine level should be in Germany. It’s so well made has just the right amount of fruit, aroma and is oozing with character. Truly a great wine. — 3 years ago
