October 28, 2016 - Seems to be just hitting its peak stride. Outstanding.
August 5, 2016 - Rich and fantastic!
February 6, 2015 - Hard to believe, but seems like it can continue to improve. The OMG feeling when you take a sip. Yes!
December 3, 2013 - very well done. Crushed red cherries...great from nose to finish. All the classics in the bottle.
October 11, 2013 - APPEARANCE: Bright, deep red, clear, 4/4;
BOUQUET: Red berries, Dark Cherries, medium oak, light spice 12/14;
TASTE: Initially tight but decent fruit; Opened to moderate berry / cherry fruit, slightly crisp but silky, "refreshing", moderate fruit finish 14/18;
PREFERENCE: moderately well balanced but seems like it will knit with a couple more years, good fruit and finish 2/4;
April 6, 2013 - Super delish! Great fruit. Just as superb day 2..
December 25, 2012 - Big for a pinot. Part of a blind tasting. Loved it great with grilled filet. Strawberry and raspberry with touch if wood. Wonderful.
January 15, 2012 - Falltacular 2012 (FMIII in the OC): Nice job Chris on this second vintage with young fruit. Super dark color, spicy nose. Great complexity on the palate for such a young wine with spice weaving in and out. Medium+ finish. Really enjoyed it.
