Plenty of time left, but I don't think it qualifies as infanticide when the wine tastes so damn good now... — 10 years ago

Best bottle of Pinot I've had all night. Like Pinot candy, cherry Pinot drops with a little spice
If it's not hedonistic it's not good Pinot though a few years on this 2009 would have sophisticated it a bit, alas it's the last bottle of mine — 11 years ago

In 2010, Wine Spectator crowned James Berry's "Saxum" their Wine of the Year. The $75 bottle now is sold for $300 or more at auctions. However James Berry also sells his grapes to other wineries. Every year Villa Creek creates a James Berry Vineyard "High Road", but for the 2007 vintage they keep a selection in oak barrels for an extra 2 years. The result is the High Road "End of the Road". The aging and limited release brings a bottle to $100 (for non club members), but I now consider this a wine in my top 10 favorites. Think full bodied California Cabernet fruit blast meets elegant balanced French red. The sip glides over your tongue and waltzes with your taste buds. Caution, this bottle packs a subtle punch with 17% alcohol ... So share or call a cab! Wine Spectator rates it a 93. I would go higher! Cheers! — 12 years ago

Darker fruits than the RR. Concentrated blackberries, dark cherries, creamy black raspberries, raspberries, dark crushed minerals, big chalk, touch of clove, Asian spice, perfumed dry red and pink florals. Nice acidity and length. Finish round with big spice and candied ripe fruit. — 9 years ago

A wonderful wine. Big to medium fruit on the front end with a mellow light tannin finish. Mildly dry. Velvety and vanilla flavored with a hint of burnt cherry. — 9 years ago

What. Fantastic wine and a prime example as to why WA state is surging with new recognition as the next great thing after OR foursome CA. Integrated with balance and complexity with a great nose and mouthfeel reminiscent of much older wines. I'm a buyer. — 10 years ago

First time trying an old Felton Road and a Block 5 courtesy of Can. Forest floor, some black fruits. Great concentration with depth and intensity of flavour. Good length but never felt over-blown or heavy. Shows why this wine is an icon. 94 points — 10 years ago

Pulled from the wine fridge and enjoyed this with fresh Salmon.

Well rounded smoooth finish with barely a hint of tannin. Wonderful! — 9 years ago

First try it seems a little tight, this 2013 needed about 45 minutes to express itself. Touch of oak with distinctive lemon lime flavors that open to a great mouthfeel , Wow! Just a touch drier than the B. Theriot from the same winery Rivers-Marie. Delicious a must I think with food! CB 93+ — 9 years ago

Tons of cherry and berry fruits complimented by high acidity allow this wine to be paired with food or drank alone. Very versatile Pinot! — 10 years ago

Definitely among my favorite California Pinots these days. Lithe, juicy, and all sour cherry raspberry goodness with a side of citrus snap. — 11 years ago

Best of both worlds. Violets, cherries, dust light leather. Boozy! 14% I believe. Lies off after about 30-40. Super delicious and different. — 11 years ago
