A lovely Cab with mild tannins, an easy sip filled with a nice blend of plums, currents, boysenberry, peppers, and a slight earthy feel. A very strong wine for the price. — 8 years ago

Boysenberry, little currants; crunchy. Fresh and full of life. Exactly what to expect from $20 Oregon Pinot. Much better in ‘16 than in blazing hot years like ‘14 or ‘15. #oregon #willamette #pinotnoir — 9 years ago

Last wine for our wine pairing at Chef's Table this evening, paired with a prime beef tenderloin with morel mushrooms and a smoked garlic-potato puree.

Deep purplish ruby red. Layered nose with boysenberry jam, tons of spices, cinnamon and violets. Medium plus tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Lacks a little oomph in the mid palate. Notes of blackberries, blackberries, vanilla and caramel. Long finish. Drink till 2026. — 9 years ago

A juicy example of how good Sta. Rita Hills Pinot can be. Very complex tastes of bright cherry, boysenberry and black pepper tease your taste buds. Very long and beautiful finish as the fruit just lingers for ever. — 9 years ago

An example of power and finesse combined, Clos de Roilette’s 2015 Fleurie offers generous black raspberry, boysenberry potpourri and fruitcake flavors, with real intensity and a suave floral quality on the youthful, tannic finish. (JR) — 9 years ago

An extra year in bottle since I've tasted this last has upped my score on this. Classic Moon Mountain flavors; luscious blackberry, boysenberry, and cinnamon. Light bodied, but deeply extracted and flavorful. There is a sense of place present; rich mountain soil and fresh bay leaves. Finishes with some crushed pink peppercorn. — 10 years ago

A great offering from Adam Tolmach, this 2005 is drinking beautifully. A great balance between primary and secondary aromas, the nose comes across with layers of violet, spice, and boysenberry. The palate is medium-plus bodied and has the terrific acidity characteristic of Adam's wines. I always like to give his wines a few years in bottle to integrate: for this Melville Vineyard offering, 10 years was just about perfect! — 10 years ago

Massive intensity of aromas ; sour raspberry, bubblegum, boysenberry and the tiniest bit earthy. Full of acid and medium tannin. Full bodied, an forever changing in the glass. Ripe cherry, cherry liquer, oak, truffle and violet come through in a delicious palate. — 11 years ago

The nose is floral with loads of brambly fruits. Still has string tannins although they have mellowed somewhat. This one could easily cellar for another couple of decades. The palate is loaded with cassis and black currants, blackberry and boysenberry. Quite dynamic. — 9 years ago

Blackberry, vanilla and star anise on the nose. Boysenberry and raisin upfront, with lots of heat that builds up. Strawberry, sweet tobacco and a little pepper on the finish. Love this wine and it's been great trying different years! — 9 years ago

Taking hours to unwind - still super inky with barely any signs of age: these wines run hot but after the alcohol burns off there is big time boysenberry/blueberry loamy chocolate spice huge grippy tannins extraordinary depth concentration & length — 10 years ago

Wonderful expression of 2012. Big bold wine with loads of fruit but balanced and layers of texture with a long long smooth finish. Think Boysenberry. — 11 years ago

Lightning struck eucalyptus bark - what a nose!

Licorice, mint, basil. Tar, tobacco, burnt barrel. This is a wine that will always calm my pre race jitters. The vintage was amazing.
Salted boysenberry popsicle sticks end this wine with a long, long lasting finish. — 8 years ago

Not a stellar vintage for most producers, but this was a welcome addition to the cranberry pecan pie! Fresh pumpernickel, blackberry, red licorice, sea urchin, treacle, black roses, melted dark chocolate and mint nose. Pronounced black currant, black olive, graphite, boysenberry, burnt brown sugar, dark red cherry juice, saffron, and struck flint. Lingering silver tea-like tannins! — 10 years ago
