January 12, 2024 - Beautiful Wine. Aged perfectly (2023)
July 6, 2023 - Aged beautifully, this is such a great expression of Sonoma coast Pinot. Complex. Textural. Umami. So much going on here. Sad this is the last bottle I own of it.
July 17, 2021 - Nose: roses, red cherry, dark raspberry, toasted oak and clove. Palate: layers of fruit, glycerin and herbs. Red cherries, camphor, rhubarb, rosemary, strawberry and white chocolate. Hint of spice. Finish: Long finish with a lot of detail.
This is an awesome RRV pinot year after year, but the balance and layered nuance is really showing now.
April 15, 2018 - Excellent wine. Very light and lean. From magnum, pale color. The nose is the best part - lively raspberry, some faint earth, perfume. The body doesn't hold up as much - needs cheese or other food - but has that zingy electricity one loves from the Keefer fruit.
November 9, 2017 - nice classic pinot, enjoyed at Mabel Grey. Strawberry notes.
October 15, 2017 - Way better after a day.
September 17, 2017 - Very solid fruitiness but with some earth as well. Drinking nicely
June 17, 2017 - I don't see it getting any better. The acidity has mellowed and tannins are integrated. Needed about an hour or two after opening to really express the bright berries on the nose and pallet but once open was very nice.
April 21, 2017 - PnP at home: This is a classic representation of Sonoma Coast PN. Wonderful nose full of cherries and a nice touch of acidity, everything in complete harmony. Wonderful drinking experience! Having just tasted the 2015, this is right now mature but could be held on for a few more years.
February 27, 2017 - On the nose: blackberry, raspberry, cherry; stone; earth. On the palate, at first, great acidity, bright fruit. Mid palate, mushroom, earth, minerals, stone. Finishes round and supple, long lingering, and lush. This is a beautifully structured wine, with perfect balance of fruit, acidity, and minerals with an elegant finish. CT age limits had been thru this year. This wine has time left. I'm holding my one remaining bottle for at least another year.
