5/16/2013 - Attorney Somm wrote: NRTasted double blind at Rhone varietal themed "Show Me Yours" tasting at Grailey's. Nose was very bright compared to the other 6 wines. Rose petals, red fruit. Sadly, the palate did not match. The wine had a medicinal taste and was cloyingly sweet. Almost like cherry cough syrup. 3 sommeliers who tried the wine did not believe it was defective. It was not corked, cooked, etc. Perhaps just in a bad place right now or just an off bottle. Many participants in the tasting did not want to finish their pours. |

10/13/2012 - Attorney Somm wrote: 93 pointsAn outstanding wine! Popped and poured and was singing right from the start. Dark purple color. Nose of leather and dark fruit. Long finish. This wine has plenty of life left, but it is hard to imagine it will get much better. Very happy that I have two more left. |

1991 David Bruce Pinot Noir Reserve Santa Cruz Mountainsmore |
11/8/2011 - Attorney Somm wrote: 91 pointsPurchased from the tasting room during a visit in May of 2011. There was something unpleasant in the nose that dissipated somewhat over time. Fortunately, however, the taste was much better than the nose. There was still a lot of fruit left. A very nice wine. |
