I really think this is much better than the Kenefick for 2014. Just delicious all around, can't wait to see how it progresses

Think this needs a lengthy decant. I popped and poured and it was solid, but not what I was expecting. Have a few more bottles, so will do it differently next time and report back.

Amazing. I think people have covered this wine fairly well below, but really, this was a treat to drink. I can't wait to see how this ages. I am going to pick up some more.

Fairly good, nice dark fruit, pepper, and cedar but feels thin on the backside. Not really any notable finish.

This is pretty good. It blows my mind how much variety you can find in the Trader Joe's Reserve Labels. This is one of the better, especially for $12.99.

Dark fruits up front, followed by cedar and herbs, finishing with spice, oak, and leather. This seems to be in a really good spot right now, I thoroughly enjoyed drinking this.

Such good dark fruit up front, then covered by massive chalky tannins. Cannot wait until this reaches its potential.

90 now, but needs time to get to 91-93. Felt like a little something was lacking in the finish, otherwise really good structure. Tasting notes consistent with others.

7/28/2013 - aaronts222 Likes this wine: 92 points

This was enjoyed by all, silky tannis and fat mouthfeel. Mocha and dark berries. Would have liked a little more balance from this sweet fruit, but still a very nice wine.

Very smooth fruit taste here. Has good depth for a pinot. It's almost too simple and leaves you wanting more spice. Seems to get more of a woody flavor the longer it is in the glass. Overall, definitely a good wine, and awesome at this price point. (SA)
