Probably the best pinot noir I’ve ever had . And I’m not a young guy. …Paired perfectly with rack of lamb. Great nose, jammy raspberry, cherries. Wow. Just terrific. A mouthful of fruit. Somewhat dry at finish that lasts …,

Had with dinner at this gorgeous winery in Va. terrific wine.. somewhat tart, sharp, crisp. Went great with the oyster po boy. Great wine and a beautiful setting.

Found this bottle to be somewhat overly tart but enjoyable. Dark , dry berries. Maybe needs to breath more next time.

A gift from a neighbor.. ok but not a keeper. Very dry, not much in the way of fruit. I like them a little juicy and fragrant like some Oregon Pinots.

Received as a gift. Run.
Good friend designed the label. That’s the way not reason to look at the bottle then put it back on the shelf.

Wow. Presently surprised. Had with raw oysters and fish stew. Delightful wine. Light flavors and great nose. Not overpowering. Long finish. What a deal at $18.
Will buy more soon.

Oldest one in the cellar. Finally opened it last night. Barnyard smell that somewhat dissipated over time. Taste was the same. It survived 19 years and was somewhat enjoyable.

Always a bright and refreshing wine. Hints of grapefuit and grass. So good . Not sweet

Good but not worth the price. Have had many similar ones for 1/2 the cost.

Drank this against another Napa rose. Somewhat dissappointrd. Maybe it’s just lost its luster. Flat. No finish.

Still quite big and wonderful. A fruit bomb. Great with a prime filet. Still have 6 more in the cellar.

Kind of neural in this one. Citrus start on the first taste then not much more. Think lemon cough drops. Disappointing .

Haven’t tried this wine in a number of years. Was one of my favs. This bottle tasted light and too sweet . Maybe my taste buds gave just changed over the years. Not a fan now.
Ps. Looks like the winery removed the zin and added a Petit Syrah to the blend. My note of a 2005 tasting were favorable. Not now. Different wine.

Quite nice. Lemon and citrus is all there. Very refreshing. May go back and buy more for that price. Love this winery for its Pinot noirs also.

Nice on the palette with some dryness and fruit. Stays on the finish. Very nice . Was #49 on WS 2022 Best list. Enjoyable. Great value.

Nice but average. 1/2 bottles are convenient to have for a few people . Wine could have more intensity for a Sauternes. Guess I’m used to an Y’quem.
