February 6, 2023 - Delicious sour red cherry, raspberries, and tea on the nose and palate with wonderful mouthfeel and acidity on the long finish. Drinking beautifully!

November 12, 2018 - Ripe red fruit and some tea notes. All is in balance but lacks a bit of length and complexity. Very enjoyable

February 24, 2017 - I am winging it here because I finished the night with a cab but O boy! Savoy hit the spot, consistent with my 2014 impression this wine is really nice. Cherry and cola, spice and nice acid balance, Burgundian in style with a slap of CA fruit. We really enjoyed this bottle. Drank over 4 hours and it continued to evolve , revealing layers of fruit and spice, Started with bright red cherry and sharp upper register spices then ultimately finished with medium dark ripe cherry and savory earthy spices.
WOW! have fun. I said 5 more years in 2014 because it was really good then, but I now would say it could make it another 4-5 years but why wait as it is amazing right now. pair it with almost anything. oily rich salmon with a sauce, or not. beef of any kind , steak with an herbed butter to beef stew or roasted short ribs. don't forget about Cheese, you know the right kind here, I lean toward the other white meat, goat cheese but you can pick the flavor profile. HAVE FUN as this one is very versatile. Wish I had more.
