Mildly firm sweetness, light in the bottom tones. Fruity, yet substantial. Very drinkable. — 9 years ago

A near perfect rosé at a great price. I prefer this soft fruit tempered by a light floral note all properly and proportionately positioned against a mineral intensive rocky bottom as swift waters twist and turn their way downstream leaving one's palate clean and refreshed but laced with the memory of the moment😎🌀 - buy the magnum at my favorite local Morehead City, NC hang - Promise Land Market (thx sweet Janeen and Daniel for spinning some crazy sweet tunage!)! Find this place in all its realness, and drink this wine! — 10 years ago

Cassis, raspberry spice, crostini, and a subtle espresso finish — 12 years ago

9.1

Deep mineral taste, clean acidity, citrus notes, really smooth mouthfeel. This wine has a lot of body but is still light on the palate. Bottom line: damn good Chardonnay, after a few years in the bottle it's gonna be epic. — 9 years ago

One of my favourite wines of the spring chicken BBQ (label recovered from bottom of esky equals legit summertime drinking) hard to believe how well Pinot Gris can develop with age. So delicious #californiangold — 10 years ago

Pretty nice. After decanting the 2009 at noon into a wide bottom I re-bottled at 3:00. I tasted throughout the day until 7:30 pm then re-visited at 10:00 am the next day. The fruit was good and acids fine but the tannins were a little harsh early but it got better throughout the day leading to a beautiful Bordeaux after 24 hours. I think this is going to be very good in about 5-8 years. For a lighter, Merlot heavy blend I am pleasantly surprised. — 10 years ago

Tight & closed upon opening, still tons of youthful exuberance. Cork was solid, fill was near the bottom of the neck, stored in my cellar since release. Dark color, more herbal & earthy notes with a bit of pencil lead/shavings. A bit coarse on the finish (others liked that), this wine obviously had many years to go to really show it's true colors. As the '61 opened & softened, the '90 just closed up and got tighter. Try again in 10 years. — 12 years ago
