9/10/2022 - brh_wine Likes this wine: 89 pointsHave enjoyed this wine for many years but time to drink it up. It appears Churchill Cellars is out of business, too bad since their winemaker did great work, I wish I could find him and continue buying his wines. Dark gold, one bottle was a bit oxidized but this one had a lot of the same rich flavors, body, and chardonnay nose. Buttery and balanced without the CA citus overrun. Maybe one or 2 bottles left. Winemaker, please identify yourself if you read this. |

4/27/2020 - brh_wine Likes this wine: 95 pointsThis wine has been a favorite Chardonnay of mine in California for many years since I 1st discovered it. Mow 8 years old it's at it's peak but still showing fine, drink it up. Color a fall napa gold. Explosive almost burgundian balanced nose (vanilla, butter, no citrus) now a recent past. Plenty of wonderful fruit and balance. Ever so briefly hints of volatile acidity which reminds me wines don't grow to the sky. |

3/3/2018 - TashNYC wrote: 90 pointsA good wine, with red fruit, spice, cinnamon and licorice flavors plus some oak and a little creamy on the finsh. A great pairing wih our pork sausage with fennel, which brought out the spice and licorice. And not a bad pairing with our roast Atlantic salmon and wild and long-grained rice with chicken broth. |

The wine was ezcellent with our roast pork Italian sausage with fennel and not bad with our grilled Atlantic salmon. It was ok with our Spanish rice with paprika and not good at all with our chopped salmn salad with Old Bay Seasoning. |

We had this with grilled pork loin with onion and brown sugar compote, which brought out the sweet and cinnamon spice in this wine. drink now. We bought this for $21 on sale, which was ok. |

12/20/2013 - isaacjamesbaker wrote: 90 pointsI’ve been holding onto this bottle to drink with my sister Priscilla for too long, and I was a little worried it might be over the hill. Turned out to be a really solid showing. Pristine cork. Clear, bright ruby color. Nose shows tart berries, sweet cinnamon, rich earth, tar and some decaying leaves, more and more expressive after two hours in the decanter. I love the tartness of this wine. The fruit tends toward the wild strawberry and red cherry variety, backed up but a solid dose of earth, bay leaf and pepper. (My sister described the earth aspect as like the plush moss that grows on rocks near rivers and streams. Pretty much nails it.) My only issue with the wine is the bit of heat on the finish, which may have been hidden when this wine was younger. Still, a really fun wine, pure Russian River, but showing some a lot of non-fruit complexity. |

7/6/2012 - travelme wrote: 91 pointsExtremely light in color almost a light purple hue. Very nice pinot for the price. As noted earlier, nice fruit forward pinot with great balance and acidity. Pleasant taste of strawberry spicy aroma of cinnamon with some cherry notes; complex, rich red cherry and raspberry permeated with lots of spicy texture, balance and a pleasant finish. A winner and recommend drinking soon if you have one since I would guess this only has a year or two left in its drinking window. |

1/14/2010 - air guitar & pinot noir wrote: 92 pointsDeep, dark garnet with fat legs in the glass. Rich black fruit and plums on the nose with notes of bing cherry and blackberry bramble. Soft and round attack with a medium body with fine tannins. Darke cherry and smoky plum flavors. Very long and flavorful finish. Dusky and robust. Excellent! |
