Tight and didn't open up much after about an hour or so. May need more time, or may just end up being an average-good wine.

Pretty disappointing...

WOW! This was a huge surprise! Opened this with a good friend who loves and understands his Pinots. The wine has a wonderful nose full of lush fruit, and then is dense, smooth and long llasting on the pallate. After about 45 minutes, some of the initial and expected tightness gave way to an enormously approachable and enjoyable Pinot. We absolutely LOVED it, and would compare it very favorably to some of the very best!

Wow! This was a treat... nice structure and depth, while letting you know its age. It reminded me of a well-aged Bordeaux, but with the depth of a great Napa Cab.

This may go down as one of my best quality/price wines. Took this to a wine dinner with some very sophisticated palates... including one wine friend who was the long time wine critic for one of the most highly respected newspapers in the country. He is now a well-respected broker of Bordeaux wines. In any case, this little gem really raised some eye brows around the table. It's got nice depth and drinks like a high-end '99 Napa cab.

Opened a couple of bottles for a dinner party 2 hours prior to consuming. The wine was soft, round, and very approachable, but lacked the depth and structure that one would expect of a wine of this calibre. The tannins still have a bit of chalkiness to them. Our guests enjoyed the wine, but if it was served blind to me, I would have never guessed it to be a $60+ cab.

Another exceptional Pinot from Siduri. Rich and smooth with great fruit and complexity.

Wow! We really enjoyed this heady Pinot. Rich and full flavored, yet very smooth. It's a bit hot on the back end, but very enjoyable. Great complexity with many layers of spice.

An absolutely outstanding wine that is bright on the palette... full of wonderful black cherry and subtle undernotes of chocolate. Everyone at our table enjoyed this tremendously... with many asking what it was and where they could buy a bottle.

A mouthful of fruit and very smooth. Very enjoyable with our homemade pasta dinner!

Dunn has a very unique and somewhat unpleasant nose to it. It reminds me of an aged Bordeaux. We decanted the wine and let it sit for about an hour before consuming it over a 2 hour dinner of charbroiled filets. The wine got better, the longer it was in the decanter... smoothing out and opening up. The unpleasant nose either gave way to that of a more conventional cab, or I simply got used to it over the course of the evening. The wine has good structure and complexity, but it's not for everyone.

I forgot that I had 4 bottles of this Chianti in my cellar and opened one last evening. Unfortunately, it was way over the top and had a nose that smelled like varnish. I'll pop the other 3 one of these days, but suspect that this one had a few too many years in the cellar!

A wonderful bottle that everyone at the table wanted to extend to a second. Unfortunately, we only had one left. Rich cab with lots of depth, yet very smooth and approachable. Excellent!

Deep cab with smooth tannins. Lots of depth, yet approachable. Four of enjoyed this bottle and everyone at the table raved about it. Wish I had more.

Lightly colored, but a substantial Pinot. Nice fruit forward. Very smooth with a pleasant nose.

One of my favorite New Zealand Pinot's. Nice fruit, smooth.
