Young and fresh with bright red fruit and vibrant acidity. A note of Ocean Spray cranberry juice and harmonious oak. Youthful. — 10 years ago

In fantastic condition. Very Top Shoulder. Firm cork, pulled in one piece. Wine: Fully enveloped in its secondary aromatic life. Forest floor, sweet leather, excellent color, bright aromas, resolved tannin. It makes me think of '66 Latour, a vintage favorite. Off the 66s, probably top 3-4 of vintage. — 12 years ago

Love it. Light and airy, with bright fruit and acid, not unlike a Cru Beaujolais. Doing the Jura proud, to be sure. — 10 years ago

2000 vintage. Deep ruby, edging to deep garnet around the rim, very bright. Plush on the nose. The black cassis notes from the Cab and the violets from the Cab Franc are very noticeable. The wine is developing with huge sweet spice, vanilla, smoke and leather. There's a bovril, meaty note here that's very attractive. On the palate, medium acidity, high tannin - grippy, but not coarse; well integrated. Alcohol is 13% and unobtrusive. Good concentration. Fruit is riper on palate than in the mouth, and a distinctive dark chocolate and cinnamon note. The finish is long and attractive. Hard to imagine this wine drinking any better from here. — 11 years ago

This is the Pinot noir, but new to this app and don't know how to change. Any suggestions? Nice bright acidity to this wine by the way — 12 years ago

Classic RRV Pinot, the 2012 is showing beautifully already! Bright red raspberry and tart cranberry with subtle herbal notes. Oak on the palate, but not too heavy handed....solid!! — 12 years ago

Absolutely magnificent! Of berries and chocolate, bright out of the bottle and velvety out of the decanter after a couple hours. Can't wait to enjoy this in 5-8 years! Cathy you're amazing! — 12 years ago

Tasted with braised pork belly. Showed bright fruit and soft tannins. The second best vintage of this wine I have tried, only the '75 rates higher in my notes. — 10 years ago

Knockout California Pinot. Yeah, the high alcohol is there, but the rest of it is stupidly well crafted - concentrated fruit, baking spice, violets, and forest notes on the nose, an acidic zip gives way to dark cherries, floral notes, and a lingering tannic finish. Fairly bright for its age and drinking super well. Wish this thing was a magnum. — 11 years ago

9.8

Excellent bottle. The 01 is supposedly a better vintage but im not sure when it comes to this producer. Clear, day bright, garnet and orange brick like color, medium - concentration, orange/peach rim variation, slight sediment, low viscosity. Nose: sound, moderate intensity, stewed cherries/strawberries/raspberries, floral, spicy and lots of dill pickle and slight game. A mushroom note as well. Palate: dry, med- body, stewed plums over ripe cherries/strawberries, lilies, dill, vinegar, leather, button mushrooms, game, mulch with some cedar and coconut. Very complex. Med- tannins, medium alcohol, high acid, long finish. Between the 01 and the 98 its a tough choice of which one to put in the wine cooler to store. — 12 years ago

Very interesting wine. Started out burnt rubber, then moved to gamy earthy, wet autumnal leaves. A bright fresh green note persisted. Light cherries throughout. — 12 years ago
