Great weight and texture, lush without being overbearing, lemon curd fruit with a touch of vanilla, a little flabby but drinking very well. I’m not a huge fan of the producer but this one was very appealing. — 6 years ago

The menu listed Inferno but Red Barn was all they had. A good saison - nice crispness with a hint of ginger and white flowers - but WAY too cold. Will probably improve as it warms up...but I'm thirsty. — 8 years ago

Best $18 bottle Pinot that I’ve had in quite some time. Thank you to the great people at the California Wine Country podcast and Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa for turning me onto this wine... — 6 years ago

Beautiful, dark red, perfume fruits. Black currants, blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, black raspberries, boysenberries, lots of blue fruits, expresso, anise, leather, some graphite, sweet dark moist soils, medium intensity volcanic minerals, limestone with blue and dark red floral bouquet.

The body is full. The tannins are round and nicely soften. The structure, length, tension and balance have hit harmony with plenty of life left ahead. Dark currants, blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, black raspberries, boysenberries, loads of blue fruits, expresso roast, anise, dark chocolate, a little caramel, leather, some graphite, leather, dry tobacco, touch of dry herbs, sweet dark moist soils, medium intensity volcanic minerals, limestone and blue and dark red floral bouquet. The acidity is round and beautiful. The finish is long, very well balanced, elegant, polished and lasts minutes.

Photos of; The barn used for winemaking and to host tastings. The first harvested Cabernet grapes of the season, an old school basket press that decorates their grounds, Estate vines and a giant fan to dry the vines if needed amongst the hilltop mountains that surround the Estate. — 7 years ago

Double decant (lots of fine sediment). A beguiling Deep Purple [Machine Head rules]. On the nose: black fruit, earthy, floral some slight barn yard funk which I luv. Taste: silky, nice balance with black cherry, pencil lead, spice and cedar with a long finish...drink em now or over the next 8 years!! — 6 years ago

Another 4th Friday for the books! What a variety this month!

At 24yrs old, it’s incredible how this drinks. Obviously past its prime, but by no means a lost bottle. Had never heard of this vineyard. Butterscotch, salted popcorn kernels, and cornbread note too. Still retaining some nice acidity! — 7 years ago

Translucent light ruby color with earthy red fruit and savory spice aromas. On the palate it's fresh, focused and harmonious with a silky texture and cherry, dried strawberry, pomegranate, cola and spice flavors. Long delicious savory finish. — 8 years ago

Barn funk smell, some tannin coming through the deep berries and high acid. Love Olivier Cousin. — 8 years ago
