  April 23, 2012 - Consumed from Magnum as a pop and pour. This was delicious right out of the gate and drank extremely well over an hour. Ripe, plush fruits with nice structure, perfectly balanced. I can't imagine this getting any better, but was also not over the hill.

  May 19, 2010 - My last bottle. On the nose I picked up less baking spice but a hint of clove and ginger mixed with the usual orange peel. Like the last bottle, tasted of cranberry and a hint of rosemary. Soft fruit and a velvety texture that just glides across the mouth. Acidity kicks up at the finish but it seems to me that this may be at or near its peak as it seems pretty resolved. Drinking very well.

  January 13, 2010 - Popped and poured. Murky lignt purple in the glass. Does anyone make a pinot with a better nose than TRB? Baking spices and citrus/orange peel, mmm. On the palate though this was all about cranberries with a touch of pine/rosemary. A huge acidic burst followed to the end. Very tart. After a few hours the acidity moderated a bit. But it was much better with food (poached chicken breast and oven roasted fingerling potatoes w/thyme).

  October 3, 2009 - The OC Bagged Crew--October 2009 (Sun Dried Tomato Cafe, San Juan Capistrano, CA): Drank from mag (thank you, Sean). Pine needle/resin, sour cherry, strawberry with some truffle and supporting tannin on the finish. I thought Garys' vineyard at first but tasting blind, of course, was proven wrong.
