5/24/2008 - rikipedia Likes this wine: 90 pointsLWTF - Napa Tasting (London): (Brief notes & thoughts from Walkaround Tasting): Light to mid-ruby in colour, the wine has cherry cola and that classic Californian nose. Light in the body, the wine is still high in alcohol with notes of toasty oak strawberry and ripe, almost tinned cherries. |

6/10/2023 - Wyneaux Likes this wine: 91 pointsForest floor nose, dark color, very little amber, medium body, smooth in the mouth, some fine tannin, sweet finish. Delicious with air fried Masala Tandoori spiced Atlantic salmon. Obviously well stored bottle even though the cork was wet up to 2/3rds of length. |

3/21/2023 - MicklethePickle Does not like this wine: 73 pointsWith K and Miranda at home at dinner (coq au vin). Red ruby color. Shockingly light fruit in the nose; faint and even a tad musty. Over-acid, bitter, with only a ghost of its former fruit flavors. Too bad, this used to be a decent wine. It's well past its peak now, and has one foot in the grave already, barely 5 years past the vintage. 5-7-8-3: 73/100. |

2/22/1990 - MicklethePickle Likes this wine: 83 pointsWith K and Peg at home at dinner (coq au vin). Nice ruby color. Soft, delicate rose petal/cherry fruit aromas. On the palate, soft and supple, with light cherry fruit undertone. Not as good as I remember--appears to have lost some of its intensity, and not as concentrated as before. Pleasant, but no standout. 5-9-13-6: 83/100. |

8/10/1988 - MicklethePickle Likes this wine: 91 pointsAt home with K at dinner (coq au vin). Lightish color. Garnet. Elegant. Very fruity, deep, complex nose. Crushed rose. Beautiful. Very big, full, smooth, yet firmly tannic wine. A very silky, elegant wine. Great finish. 4-13-17-7: 91/100. |

3/2/2023 - ccrida Likes this wine: 89 pointsMuch better than when I last had it over a decade ago, the fruit came to the fore, nice raspberry, maybe a little on the thin side but more well rounded and little to none of the bell pepper. Dry and not the longest finish but very nice surprise. |

11/8/2022 - merryberry Likes this wine: 90 pointsDark purple. Blueberry, oak spice, and earth nose. Medium bodied, boysenberries, blackberries, white pepper, smooth tannins, leather, good acid, dark chocolate, and a medium to long sappy finish. Much better than when I first drank this 12 years ago. |

12/30/2020 - aces219 Likes this wine: NRThis can easily go much longer. Drinking nicely right now with bottle bouquet starting to emerge, but I think there is more to come. Well balanced. Tastes floral but not much on the nose. |

9/18/2020 - Hscottk wrote: 84 pointsa bit thin, even for a Pinot. Described as dry, there is still a perceived sweetness, perhaps of vanilla, which increased as it warmed from the initial 55 degrees. It wasn't a good combination for me. Worked better with food than on its own. |
