Was kind of bummed about this one. It was very good, lighter bodied, but fruit was not really showing as much, more acidity. Still a pretty great Pinot but not as good as I remember. — 4 days ago

Really lovely. Well balanced. Raspberries, flowers, cherry, some baking spice in background. Great with food. It’s smooth and balanced. — 7 days ago

Tasted very good. Pretty good amount of fruit. Lighter bodied. Good amount of alcohol. Surprisingly not a lot of dried fruit or jam notes. More fresh fruit and some nuts. — 22 days ago

Lovely and crowd pleaser. Cherries, flowers, rocks, a bit of funk, more fruit on tart finish. Great with food. — 22 days ago

This is actually perennial, but who knows with the naming. From website it is Tempranillo with a million Spanish and port field blend grapes grown in Oregon. Amazing amount of tannin. But the fruit comes through. So many berries in the bramble. A hint of wood, cherry, plum, leather, berries, dry tannin. Good with a burger. So interesting. I don’t think I have another bottle. Would love to try this in 10-20 more years. — 6 days ago

Wow! Has a lot left in this one. Pepper, game, herbs, plums, herbal raspberry jam, just keeps going. There’s a nice freshness to it as it lingers. Almost mint and berries. Just outstanding. Not your average CA syrah! — 21 days ago

I would not have guessed this was chard. There’s a mouthfeel that is like a chard, but flavor is more like chenin and other white grapes. Good amount of acidity. Flowers, peach, honey, stone. Very nice. — 6 days ago

This was really funky on opening and then blew some of that off to have a brawny wine with good fruit and tannin. Some earth and herbs. Dark fruits. Really liked it. — 22 days ago
