tasted blind at a Bordeaux vs California dinner nose - funky, sour, sauerkraut (per doug) mouth - sour, slightly off flavor, Brian and John pegged it as a Burgundy. I thought maybe a questionable cab with some fermentation issues.

Delicious and oh so velvety! You don't get the lofty aromatics of a grand cru or Beaune 1st here, but the experience remains pure delight. Great finesse, still plenty of fruit. A wonderfully seductive aura to this. Heartily recommended.

extremely enjoyable - had just drank a NZ with more barnyard funk - and this showed what Burgundy is like-- I just opened a http://www.cellartracker.com/wine.asp?iWine=455786 -- and had to bump this Burgundry two points-- doe this ever outshine the Sandford. NICE Pinot!

Ripe sour cherry nose. Big plum blast that ended with a bit of funk with a soap overtone.

Definitely flawed, most likely corked. The bottle also showed massive seepage.
