Enjoyable, I didn't enjoy the day it was opened but it held up well for several days. A bit sharp and petrol-y but the residual sugar smoothed things over on the finish. — 9 years ago

Another West Bend, WI find! Drinking perfectly. It's all about the secondary flavors. — 8 years ago
This is a fantastic right bank bend from California. The blend is harmonious instead of busy. Best in this style I have tasted from California!

Davis Family Pinot Noir!! My new love — 10 years ago
A blend I couldn't have made a preconceived notion of (37% Grenache Blanc, 37% Albariño, 26% Verdelho). All parts played beautifully & the co-ferment creates a singular wine of character & finesse, but one which delivers flavor & depth along with great White wines from the corresponding global regions. Stunning. — 11 years ago

After an afternoon on the lake, we settled in for some pasta...and some Pinot. DFV seems to over deliver every time I pull a bottle. Beautifully textured, elegant and creamy raspberry and subtle earthiness. Fabulous blend from two distinct vineyards, Horseshoe Bend and Campbell Ranch. — 7 years ago

Nose end entry of this wine is graphite, ash, violets, pencil shavings, dates. This one had a hodgepodge of different things going on. A very terroir-driven wine. I think it really needed about 30 minutes to come out of its lumber, because the first taste I had made my neck bend just a little bit. This settled into a very nice wine. This one almost seems to be timeless, and I have a feeling that this one will stay just the way it is for another 20 years or so if you let it. It may develop some more tart and plum and prune characteristic, but I'm not so sure that would be a bad thing! Drinking nicely. — 6 years ago
