Quite the contrast to the Malibu Pinot Noir. Bigger body. Clearly new world. Estate fruit from Carneros showing rustic breeding. Bob Mueller has the touch. Knows his soil and grapes. Purity. — 11 years ago

Clean and crisp. Nectarine and peach amongst lemon zest, crushed hazlenuts and toasted oak. — 10 years ago
Pencil shavings, raspberry preserve, iron minerality, and an earthy/vegetal note on the back end. Awesome pencil notes on the palate with pretty berry fruit. Tannins are just right. Finally waited the correct time for a wine :) — 11 years ago
Last night's wine.
Like someone burned the cookies. It was thick and chewy on my tongue like spiced Mexican champurrado with a little pepper burn on the back of my throat. Unripe cherries and lemongrass (yellow green) and something resembling licorice but not.

Very good Bourbon. A mild alcohol burn on the nose combined with a lot of cherry and honey, yet not heavily sweet.
That cherry really comes through when taking a sip. There's some almond and pecan, and a creamy milk chocolate that sits on the tongue.
I love the burn of it as it slides down my throat. Seems perfect to sip on on a cold winter day. I'd definitely get this again. — 11 years ago

Delicious. I like the sharp alcohol burn in the 2015 but the 14 had a deeper complexity and long taste — 10 years ago
