I bought this wine right from the vineyard. It's game changing. Yes it's a popular producer who make killer wine, but this vintage is amazing. So well balanced, cherry, herbs de Provence, awesome plum with a touch of leather

Purple ink, fig, leather, pepper, anise...I love this wine and it's only going to get better

Love this north coast Pinot. Smokey, black cherry and long finish. This California Pinot is why I don't like Oregon Pinots. This is what a Pinot should taste like

This Grenache was outstanding. Light, fresh, juicy with complex CDP qualities

A very smooth California chard. Finally a California chard tat not loaded with butter, oak and cream. It's acidity is well balance. Hints of melon, citrus, and vanilla

Well past it's prime but still cool drinking a 37 year old wine

One of the smoothest Cabs I've had. Very balanced wi tons of blueberry, blackberry and plum. An awesome wine!

A peppery smooth plum flavor on the nose with a long velvety finish. Had this with grilled pork loin. It almost has a burgundian, veggie smell to it. Just a solid wine!

You could taste the Terrior right away. Loads of blackberry, plum and tar on top that have Cabernet characteristics, but then he Syrah came through. I'd let this sit longer next time. It was a great compliment with my BBQ

Let my 1.5L breath for 3 hours. Strawberries, veggies, black pepper yielded to a smooth balanced delicious wine. Head BBQ with it and it was the perfect compliment.

A good Barolo...not blowing me away but good ripe cherry and musty veggies.

A crisp young Chard with great taste of crushed stone with a fresh zest to it. Hints of oak and melon make this very enjoyable. Very similar to a French Burgundy

Blackberry and licorice fruit. A Bordeaux type Cab with a hint of jam and vanilla. Enjoying this but could use a few more years

A simple CDP that is good but nothing to rave about

This is a beautiful balanced Syrah. Lots of cherry, iron, plum from nose to length. Love this...just had it with pulled pork by the fire on the cold New England day

I opened this 8 hours before serving and the evolution of this wine was amazing. When I first opened and tasted it, it was so chewy and tight. Three and half hours later and it was starting to open up nicely. Then at dinner it was outstanding. Blackberry & cherry flavors on the nose, cedar and hints of leather at mid palate and long velvety finish.

Amazing California Pinot with Burgundyesque bones. Great smell of black cherries, pepper, and leather. Great balance and long finish. Love this!

A nice CDP that could use some years to develop, but fine to drink now

This is one of the best California Chards I have ever tastes. Fresh and bright with crisp stone minerals and light zest. You can actually taste your food with this wine. Bravo!
