Really intriguing primary aromas, elegant oak, red pinot-fruit. Oh, this is balanced and really good... Smooth and well integrated tannins, great body and lenght, nice acidity. Drink now or within three years

I wasn’t expecting much from this $20 wine, but man was I wrong. It’s a very smooth red blend, but bold enough to stand up to our spicy meal. I would feel comfortable suggesting this wine to those who like a fuller bodied red, yet easy to drink.

Bright fruit. Strawberry! Lime. Raspberry
Yummy! Medium light bodied. Very pleasant - nothing distasteful. The finish is medium length but definitely not too astringent.

Nice oaky and somewhat mature flavors. Reminding more of a light brunello than a typical pinot. Very nice - ready to drink

Not just a nice wine, but a very interesting bottle and story behind it. The label is a 5 inch long gold metal crocodile with a sapphire studded color and ruby eyes affixed to the front of the bottle. Obtained during a visit to the winery and from our guide quite a story behind the originator of this winery and how he met his demise at the hands of said croc. This is a very nice red BDX blend. Plenty of dark red/black fruit. Typical red blend nose with briar. Tannins still very present but not harsh. Good full mouthfeel. Not WOTN but up there in the running. Everbody loved it.

Dark, cloudy desert rose color. Spice, cottonwood, and rhubarb nose. Medium to full bodied, dusty pomegranates, tart cherries, green peppers, mint, and a long sweet finish. The time is now, drink up.

30 minute decant in the glass. Deep purple with a magenta rim. Nose of sweet ripe blackberries and licorice. Taste is similar with notes of maple syrup and necco wafers. Tastes like it has a little of that heavily extracted Zinfandel in it. Big heavy bottle had me expecting more of the big Napa “punch” style. Low tannins but tangy lingering acidity beginning with the mid palate. Medium bodied. Easy drinker and with good QPR. About 89-90.

Ruby edges around a dark core. Strawberry, earth and spice nose. Medium bodied, tart cherries, crushed almonds, cranberries, soft tannins, and a medium finish. Pretty good but still a bit overpriced.

Dark Ruby, soft fruity nose, very defined legs. After one hour decant it was very soft and luscious, if a little bit closed. A little bit of leather and menthol, but not a lot of tanin. Overall very pleasant. Was expecting something a little bigger with our steaks tonight but very good nonetheless.

Dark purple, with red edges in the glass. Nose gives an earthy currant and blackberry. Flavor profile is similar, but also features milk chocolate and jammy red fruit. A rich, concentrated, extracted wine with mouth-coating body and chewy tannins. It may lack some concentration and acidity that would put it into a higher echelon, but it's quite a terrific wine for the price ($30 from Rye Brook).

Delicious! Dark cherries, even jammy. Nice mouth feel. Hints of mocha. Plum notes on the finish plus creamy vanilla. Will pick up more. Costco has a good price point.

4 Napa Cabs at various price points (St. Paul, MN): Another great showing for this wine. Dark fruits, tobacco, spices and subtle oak. Very concentrated wine and has a long life ahead. This is my favorite sub $45 wine of the year so far!

Tasting from the coravin. Very excited to try this given the history of this vineyard and positive reviews (also a very heafty impressive bottle that feels like a bottle that would cost 3x the price!)

Unfortunately I'm left wanting more from this. I took a look at the reviews from the 2014 vintage and it looks like the reviewers were somewhat divided. Some praised the wine for its lucious fruity and bold profile. Others felt the wine was over done. I fall in the later camp.

The nose is pleasant with red and dark fruit come through and hints of vanilla. On the palette the wine is very rich with red fruit coming through more than dark fruit. The wine is quite sweet though at 15.0% alcohol. Similar to some of the reviewers who rated the 2014, this wine's sweetness is just too much for me. It leaves a candy cane after taste that I can't drink past. At $30 bucks I actually don't think this is a good QPR. I would prefer a mondavi napa valley cab, J Lohr Hilltop or Oberon over this one - all of which are slightly cheaper.

I will revisit this one again and post another review.

6/11/18 - had this wine again (opened bottle vs coravin) - drank the wine over dinner - tasting better than the first time - sweetness was toned down slightly and was enjoyable over dinner. Rating doesn't change from my perspective - worth giving a try if you like full throttle

Drank alone, without food. Pear, apple, vanilla, and oak. Too oaky for my tastes, but what should I expect for the Cinderella Wine price of $5.

Flat and Flavorless. May have been past its prime but 2011 was not a good year for Carneros Pinots. Have had much better Pinots from Buena Vista
