The 2019 Pinot Noir Campbell Ranch is fabulous. Complex and multi-dimensional, the 2019 is dynamic and super-expressive. Rose petal, lavender, spice, sage and mint play off a core of dark red/purplish berry fruit. This is a terrific Pinot from the northern part of the West Sonoma Coast.

9.1

Full, Bold and plush. Made from Walla Walla grapes. Ripe fruit (plums and black cherry) aromas and flavors. Hints of black pepper, black olives and baking spices. Smooth tannins. Touch of blueberry on the finish. Fruit forward but not over the top. Just a bit hot out of the bottle so decant this one a bit. — 4 years ago

She snagged me unknowingly from behind spinning spices from both far and near barely dressed in burgundy satin and a slightly nasty soft silk which I feel, inhale, turning her my way, her eyes engage pulling me in close, then closer her lips on mine she drips then slowly touches, thoroughly seducing as her silk clings, clutches as her blueberry essence goes red - the music changes a note, then a riff, and then she dives her fingers gingerly wave reminding me to have another hit... — 9 years ago

Another winespies purchase that has proven to be a good purchase. Strong spice, blackberry and slight cherry, cinnamon, and more. Medium tannins. A 7 year old wine that likely could age another 5 - 10 years. — 4 years ago

9.4

Still incredibly youthful. Jammy - blackberry, currants, framboise liquor. Black tea, toffee follows to sweet stem to stern power held above the palate with fine acidity. Great balance and longevity on the finish. — 9 years ago
