One of those old wineries that tips just a little too much into the overy juice bomb arena. I would like more tannins, and the spice to be more in the forefront. But whatever! It's giant and fun to guzzle. Not as good as Ridge, Black Chicken, Porter Creek.... — 10 years ago

Great if you want big flavor with lower tannin. Smoke and sour cherry on the nose, ripe fruits on their way to jam, flavors of strawberries, plums and cherries that deliver then roll out for a satisfyingly dry finish that gives you a honorable mention in the tannin arena. High in alcohol at 15.9 but manages to hit your palette smoothly with wood and fruit, complexity and drinkability, awesome overall, highly recommend for pinot noir lovers looking to go bolder or cabernet scarey cats looking to get brave! — 11 years ago

Smooth, sexy and suprisingly fresh for a 40 year old bottle. Light in clarity; almost pinot light. #1975 Barnyard beautiful! Smell reminds me of the rodeo arena seconds before I rip down the alley way on my big fast bay steed! — 11 years ago
