Oh my ... this was tasting most wonderfully. Balance was the key here ... fruit, acid, tannins and oak all in balance. It was big enough for my filet and her tuna ... ya gotta love it!

This drinking wonderfully at present. Red cherries on the nose and palate with great integration of tannins and acidity. Very smooth and went excellent with the panko crusted salmon.

the Mukaida is always my favorite from Papapietro and this didn't disappoint. Drinking right at its peak right now with beautiful strawberries, raspberries and classic Russsian River Valley earth. Glad we have six more!

Smooth and balanced, with dark cherry, subtle vanilla and caramel, and plum of varying ripeness. No sulphur noted today, but the wine had a little more time to air before drinking. This is unfortunately the last of my ’07 cache.

Fresh red fruit of strawberry and rasberry. Nice spice box component. Not overly sweet but a nice amount of sweetness. A really nice wine that is young anf fun to drink.

Drank from magnum. Delicious and classic profile for RRV. Lots of cherry, spice, cola, nice acid balance.

Will improve with more time in the bottle, it softened significantly three hours after opening.

Smooth and balanced on the light side for a Russian River Pinot Noir.

Sulphur quickly blows off to reveal wild strawberry supported by maple and vanilla.

Just fantastic. Opened and poured. Soft fruit hits you out of the gate. Perfect balance. Really wonderful.
