Deep Ruby color with aromas of dark black fruits, herb and pepper spice, fruit from both estate vineyards in the Russian River Valley, Dry Creek and Alexander valleys. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with espresso, leather, tobacco and black pepper. Firm tight tannins, medium+ finish with fruit and spicy ending. — a month ago
Over the top Pinot Noir but I like it. — 12 days ago
Excellent wine. Color showed no sign of age, dark edge to edge. The nose had a lot going on; lead pencil, berries, licorice and others. The taste was full with a nice long smooth finish. Now on to 2016s. — 10 days ago
Holding up well for a 13 year old PN. Drink now, it’s not going to get any better. — 11 days ago
So solid, year in year out - I know they make a ton of this, and yes it’s at Costco, but when you’re looking for a reliable Zin, this is it. Bordering on being too fruit forward - this barely checks the box for secondary aromas & flavors. Balanced harmonious with intermediate aging potential. Try to find their single vineyard offerings. — 16 days ago
Really like it. Definitely tastes some fruits and something else. Not as bold as some others but was a nice change from the rich cabs we’ve been having. — 11 days ago

Like a lot of the older SO this Alexander Valley didn’t last long. Opened to lots of bright fruits but died quickly. — 22 days ago
