5/18/2016 - jimkay21 wrote: 87 pointsNice color, and nose but a little harsh on the finished. Cost more than others we've enjoyed this year. Not sure if this is a second label for the producer but not up to previous vintages. |

The nose was profuse on opening. Sweet, smooth palate. The profile is a little one dimensional which is a knock. That said, we'll enjoy this with the steaks that are just about set to come off the grill. |

5/13/2016 - jimkay21 wrote: 91 pointsFriday the 13th. Good outcome. Deep garnet color, slight sediment. No decant. Better about an hour after opening. Leather, truffle, ah...aged Bordeaux nose. Palate is smooth, black fruit, balanced acidity. Easy drinking. Alch 13.5% |

5/12/2016 - jimkay21 wrote: 80 pointsCellar find (meaning I forgot it was in there). Not a good outcome. Synthetic cork closure. Wine color was good but slight oxidized notes. Not the wines fault. It wasn't made for this kind of mileage. Note to self: buy, chill, drink. |

5/1/2016 - jimkay21 wrote: 91 pointsWonderful nose. Grapefruit with evolving acidity. Fleshes out with time, softening. Paired with cheeses, pate and olives. Great mix on a spring evening. Nuff said ;-) |

4/13/2016 - jimkay21 Likes this wine: 92 pointsJust great, floral nose, fruit on the palate but nervy acidity that made it very drinkable. Alcohol in check at 12.5, we finished it off in one sitting |

2/20/2016 - jimkay21 wrote: 91 pointsNeat wine. Translucent color to the point of vanishing. Slight menthol on the nose and some red berry. Mouthfeel was light but the palate was medium bodied. Aggressive acidity that did soften over time. |

2008 Neely Pinot Noir Spring Ridge Vineyard Upper Picnic BlockSanta Cruz Mountains more |
12/19/2015 - jimkay21 wrote: 90 pointsDrank this the evening after a Rhys pinot noir. This is thinner bodied (not a criticism) leaning more toward earthiness. I thought it was fairly integrated and ready to drink. It does have the complexity on the palate that suggest more flavors will come out with more time. |
