Fantastic. This one’s drinking great right now. Good structure and acidity, with bright cherry and the slightest hint of dried fruit. Earthy, pairs well with duck confit. Excellent. — 2 months ago
Floral, lemon peel, light bodied. Not too special but good with a pesto. — 3 months ago
2014 vintage. Bright cherry, violet, rose water, lavender, and raspberry notes. Delicate and well integrated at nine years. Delightful pairing with salmon. Surprising acidity for its age. Lovely. — 4 months ago
Lots of red fruit — raspberry, dark cherry — plus blackberry underneath. Vanilla and cola notes, along with some forest floor earthiness. Easy to drink 7 years in. More fruit forward than other vintages I’ve had. Quite good. — 23 days ago
Generally a fine wine. Nothing objectionable but not much to get excited about. It’s made well and the balance of dark berries, oak, tannin, and a slight smokiness was a good match for chimichurri streak. It’s a bit too fruity to me for a Napa cab. I’d like more heft and tannin. But it’s a good deal. — 3 months ago
Not my favorite example of one of my favorite wines. Lacked integration despite having many of the right components. — 4 months ago
Delightful. Toasted almond, brioche, nougat, and some floral yeast notes. Focused. Bubbles still dancing beautifully. Great celebratory champagne. — a month ago
Delightful. Lemon peel and clean mineral. The finish lasts longer than expected and it’s super clean. Pairs beautifully with seafood and would work equally well as a warm weather white on its own. Looking forward to drinking this again. — 2 months ago
Definitely some promise. Drinking fine now, but the first glass is young with tight tannins relative to its medium body. Plenty of strawberry and other red fruits. Black tea and black pepper. Nice terroir expression once it’s opened up. Clear Burgundian influence as other reviewers have noted. — 4 months ago

Classic Sonoma Pinot. Sweet, a bit brambly, hints of cola. A little green on the finish. Quite good, but missing the magic of Oregon. — 5 days ago
