3/24/2024 - thalver wrote: NRHaving had a really great showing for a 2014 Johan vineyard two years ago, I had high hopes similar age would have this wine drinking as well. No dice. Decanted and consumed over about 4 1/2 hours, the nose did open up a bit after about 2 hours and the structure came into a bit better balance at around 4. While certainly drinkable, this remained dark fruited, tight and lacking charm. Maybe time will help? |

3/9/2024 - wiscgrad wrote: 87 pointsquite a bit different from my last bottle. a bit of funk on the nose that blew off quickly. all red fruit and piercing acidity. felt a bit disjointed at first. got better in the glass, so needs a good 30-45 decant. seems to be a fair amount of bottle variation with this producer |

2/23/2024 - Cabfrancophile Likes this wine: 89 pointsSimilar impression to prior note, though I liked it just a hair more this time. Strong value. Aromatically showed some complexity in funky earth tones and something like basil oil and thyme (stem driven?), along with crunchy cranberry/pomegranate red fruits. Good palate, though as before came across as "four-square"--lots of good, correct components, but not the sort of 'flavor arc' PN produces at the top tier. |

10/28/2023 - jondrinkswine Likes this wine: NRFrom red solo cup while on a fishing boat, so notes are limited. But this has taken on a really nice savory character. Even from plastic cup, the nose was quite nice. Fan favorite. |

10/21/2023 - JJYoyo Likes this wine: 92 pointsTasted over 2 days. Initially very tannic, surprisingly so, with a ton of red berry and blueberry but an unforgiving nature. Not really tight, more monumental and dumb. Second day, a lot more developed, still bracing tannins and acidity but with a lot of fruit to justify it. I dunno — this was like a high powered villages burg in its structure, with very new world flavor profile. A real lesson for me in terms of how serious and also how surly in adolescence OR pinot can be. I don’t think this is anywhere near ready to drink. I am keeping the rest buried for years. Impressive more than enjoyable now, do not touch. High potential. |

9/3/2023 - Cabfrancophile Likes this wine: 93 pointsReally showed well. Concentrated, with ripe fruit (cherry, mulberry) and a distinct herbal character--perhaps stem inclusion? Impression of full body, lots of stuffing here, balanced acidity, round, creamy mid-palate. Long finish with ripe, yet substantial tannin. Great aging potential, this tastes like it's just released. Certainly on the bigger side for OR PN, though not ponderous, just full of raw material. |

7/19/2023 - 87tellub Likes this wine: 91 pointsPnP. Medium to dark garnet. Bit of vanilla on the nose, dark cherry, licorice, but not giving away much. Medium in the palate, which is much more generous, soft black plum, juicy dark cherry liquer finish. Fresh. Very good. Nose opened in the glass after 45 minutes, showing some brown sugar. |
