January 19, 2024 - Sour cherry on the nose, notes of dark fruit on finish. It’s in fine shape although not sure any more time will tease anything further from it. Good quality California pinot, but lacks that delicate nature and finesse that is the style of the past few years from the top producers
October 27, 2023 - Nicely balanced, with red cherry and cola flavors balancing sweet spice.
October 5, 2023 - Decant and returned to bottle 2 hours prior. Clean, med ruby/red. Big proper nose. Med body, lean/astringent, cola, red/black fruit profile, ideal integration, dryer than usual KB Pinot. Very long finish with some tartness. Nothing off, winery direct, $100
July 22, 2023 - I prefer a more elegant French style. Nonetheless, the wine shows an interesting and very good version of a loud California cranberry/blueberry, lemon/grapefruit and spice pinot. Long finish of bright acidity. A full force CA pinot that has softened nicely in the cellar over the years.
February 24, 2023 - As delicious as the last bottle!
February 22, 2023 - Delicious - still going strong.
February 10, 2023 - Loved it.
December 30, 2022 - Classic KB! Delicious dark ripe cherry and spice on the nose and palate with silky texture and a long finish. Drinking well!
December 25, 2022 - What a fantastic wine from KB! Enjoyed with a porterhouse steak from Del Frisco on Christmas Day! Opened for 45 minutes to give this very dark, heavier feeling with tastes of dark cherry and other dark fruits. There was a little spice up front before you were consumed by the very silky texture and a lovely long finish. This wine has aged nicely and still has life left in the bottle. Sadly, I’m done with this vintage but looking forward to more recent ones. Enjoy it if you still have any in the cellar!
December 9, 2022 - Strawberry and cola. Restrained enough for a KB. Very enjoyable. If you like KB style wines, then you will love this.
