Lots to say about this surprisingly great wine. Beautifully satin smoky earth. Fruit flavors very muted now, showing the wine's deeper, meatier core. A great example of how good AV fruit and a good bit of bottle age can create the kind of deep, complex Pinot we've generally associated with Bourgogne, these Indian Creek bottles are a second label Navarro created to handle this difficult forest-fire vintage. Worked out much better than expected. I think I'll buy another case. — 8 years ago
Really lovely. Dark cherries, dark chocolate, cedar, with a a hint of light smoke. Perfect by the fire. — 8 years ago

Lovely notes of plum with a hint of mint,wine that deserves to be sipped slowly while sitting by a roaring fire in winter — 6 years ago
Wine pairing with Korean food? Maybe should have called @Michael Meyer, but when in doubt check out one of MW Jeanie Cho Lee's books or articles. One of several recco's was a younger fruit driven Cali Pinot. This one would likely have been a touch ripe on its own, but went well with a variety of wood fire table-grilled beef and pork belly. — 8 years ago
Well balanced red blend. Moderate to full fruit on the front of my palate. Easy middle with dark stone fruit, a hint of spice and a long glycerin finish. — 8 years ago
The original smoke beer from Schlenkerla Germany. Wonderful smoke flavours from Malt kilned over a fire of Beechwood logs. Pairs well with boutique cigars. — 9 years ago
Dry and complicated yet tasty. I'm picturing sipping this by the fire. This is not so much a Southern summer as an Autumn or Winter wine- but I also think of seasonality in weather and food as part of what my attraction. This is tasty. — 9 years ago

Excellent wine. Smooth and soft tannins. Gotta get this for dad — 10 years ago
Spectacular. 12 year on from my last bottle and this continues to blow the doors off. Just amazing complexity on the nose with notes of camp fire, chocolate, coffee, olives, sandalwood and plums. The palate holds the notes of red fruit, pencil, coffee and sandalwood for about a minute. It has great texture and presence and it has plenty of backbone to hold itself through to the finish. Previous bottles have been as good as red wine gets. This is right up there. — 7 years ago

Ahhhh, a Provence Rose! It's a very warm night...82F and I'm sitting by my fire...so the perspiration is accumulating and I'm drinking a refreshing Rose that is perfect for a night like this! This Chateau La Moutete Grande Reserve is peach colored, with notes of very light florals, watermelon, and a Sauv Blanc-ness to it that reminds me of grapefruit on the nose. on the palate I get strawberry, black licorice, and a hint of basil. This wine is slightly acidic, especially on the finish (again, reminding me of a soft Sauv Blanc). No tannins, and a grape-fruity finish at the end. Even though my beloved Red Sox are losing to the Skankees tonight, I'm enjoying this fantastic wine! — 9 years ago

Fire. So bouquet like a watt of a fine women 80’s perfume red lipstick. Dayum. Not overly heavy or high abv. Light. Enjoyable. — 6 years ago
