March 7, 2022 - Very light color, muted nose, good flavor, just not enough. Drink/sell
March 15, 2021 - This was a pleasant surprise. I purchased this at a wine maker dinner in Greenwich CT. Wax top. This was clearish (nice color). Cherry nose and taste. Some tannins. We polished this off in 30 minutes. I'll save my last bottle for 2023. There was a little improvement the next day.
April 18, 2020 - Aromas are floral, and sweet oak spice. Flavors are plum, ginger, and cinnamon, with core of ripe raspberry that is accentuated by aged cheese. Flat Cherry Coke and spice finish. Light tannins.
April 13, 2020 - The wine has low acidity. It smells like strawberry jam and sandalwood. The body is medium. It tastes like raspberry and strawberry. The wine looks ruby colored. There is no sediment in the bottle. The wine has smooth texture.
March 13, 2020 - Wow found this on the clearance aisle at local store for $20. Great QPR obviously and dleivered with a bit of "funk" upon open but 20 minutes in glass and revealed mostly tertiary noted with mushroom bit of light cedar and some dark cherry notes. Very nice for price and think I'll go get the rest available.
August 8, 2019 - Delicious. Caramel, pepper, and honey taste. Not very fragrant.
July 28, 2018 - A gift, new to me, I enjoyed - will pick some up next time I spot it.
June 1, 2018 - Surprisingly lean, but filled out slightly with air. Some savory elements jump out on the nose with swirling. Agree with cranberry and sandalwood, with some mushroom. Could have easily passed for Oregon IMO
May 26, 2018 - First winery on day two in Sonoma was Donelan Family Wines in Santa Rosa with Meredith. First red up was the Two Brothers Pinot Noir which comes from four separate vineyards in Sonoma County; 41% from Steiner Ranch, 26% from Walker Vine Hill, 21% from Devoto and 12% from Perli. Aged for 18 months in 17% new French oak. 1,630 cases produced.
Medium garnet red with some ruby in the core. A touch of greenery on the nose with some twigs and strawberries. A touch of tobacco and cedar too. Medium acidity (6.5/10) with a light plus to medium body. Layered palate with notes of cinnamon, violet, white pepper, plums and a touch of mushrooms. Medium plus finish with a little bit of iron coming through. Drink till 2021.
November 30, 2017 - Light bodied with a nice nose of red berries, spices and sandalwood. Like it!
