Major bummer. Was looking forward to this wine. A little fruit left on the nose but taste was just sour tannins.

Drank at the end of it's suggested drink window and it showed. Very flat with very little body left.

Loved this wine. This is the third bottle we've opened. Great yeasty flavors. Smells and tastes of a bread shop at it's peak of production. Creamy vanilla.

Wow. Merlot really comes through. Velvety mouth feel with smooth tannins. Creamed cocoa and milk chocolate. Cumin and strong vanilla notes.

Very unique new wine from Orin swift cellars. Sb with some good wood! Has all the great characteristics if sb with acidity, crispness and tartness, but the oak aginging smooths it all out for a pleasent, lingering finish. Very enjoyable wine if you're into that kind of a thing.

Lots of malo! Strong oak with green apple, Anjou pear and very ripe pineapple. Not my style of chard, but still a drinkable wine if you're into that kind of a thing.

Lots of malo. Pear, green apple. In the end, a straight up Cali chard. Strong oak palet and med finish. Avg chard.

Crisp wine with just the right amount of oak. No butterball or splinter. Sour apple finish with hints of pear. Very enjoyable wine.

Such a great Pinot with a rich juicy finish and nice stewed strawberries on the palet.

Shiraz at it's finest. Very jammy ripe fruit with subtle tannins and a long dry finish. Can't wait to find more bottles to add to my cellar. This wine is truly amazing!!

Awesome wine!! Sad to have drunk my last bottle. Great Sonoma green, stemmy quality with stewed red fruit. Succulent and rich with a velvety smooth finish. Will miss this wine.

Great jammy pinot with hints of smoke and tobacco. Nice, green stemmy quality that makes you think of Sonoma when you drink it. Strong strawberry, raspberry and cola flavors. All around a great wine.

Smooth velvety texture with strong notes plum and black berry. Typical black pepper finish, full body and nice long finish.

Amazing bubble gum and strawberry nose. Can really smell the french oak. Smooth, silky texture that is complimented by nice tannins. Milk chocolate mouth with spicy, "new" leather. Savory finish of ripe dark fruit. I would pair it with game meat or heavy red meat. A nice french braise or beef shoulder with root veggies.

Nice Minerality. Strong nose of strawberry and raspberry. Also has a nice earthy quality in the nose and pallete. Good acidity, med body with a surprisingly med long finish. Enjoyable wine that I would like with lighter foods such as quail, roasted chicken or pork or assorted cheeses during a gathering of friends.
