The nose is of good red fruit. I get strawberries, red raspberries, maraschino cherries, mild mushroom, and foggy forest floor. The palate has the red fruit in abundance, strawberries, tart cherries, good acidity, mild tannin and beautiful round mouth feel. Just my type of Pinot Noir. — 10 years ago

An abundance of blue fruit, rose, cedar, leather, and very bright acidity. An excellent example of Napa Valley. — 11 years ago

Broad nose with plenty stewed red berry fruit, kirsch, cheery bakewell, prune but also a savoury smokiness. Palate shows more elegance than the nose would suggest with an abundance of red fruits though alcohol pokes out a touch. Felt a touch sorry for this fella as it was drunk just after Lafite 95'.... — 11 years ago

Gorgeous golden yellow color and aromas of peach, pineapple, lemon, hazelnut and white pepper. Luscious and zippy on the fruit that captures the nectar of stone fruits and the abundance of tropical pineapple flavors with a crisp, refreshing core of acid and slight notes of fresh hay on the finish. A beauty. — 12 years ago

2012. Warner vineyard character showing through in abundance in this wine. Savoury and concentrated. Plenty of gorgeously stemmy, whole-bunch elements combined with juicy, ripe, dark fruits. — 11 years ago

It's very complicated, full concentrated and rich in aromas champagne. Nose is fresh with abundance of ripe yellow stone fruits. On the palate excellent balance, elegant body (med), fresh acidity (med+) and long succulent finish. — 11 years ago

Jumps out of the glass with an abundance of aromas. Cooked red & black fruits, raisin, beef jerky and violets. Sweet and delicious with a smooth finish and very little in the way of tannins or too much acid. As good as many Amarones at 3x-4x times the price. — 12 years ago
