Black Cherry, burnt marshmallow, hint of espresso. Inky, rich dark purple color. While rich and deep, the wine has a finessed finish. — 8 years ago

Beautiful light golden in color. Light aroma of mineral and flavors of citrus, lemon and apple. Crisp and easy to drink. Would pair well with salads and grilled fish. — 9 years ago

I love this Merlot. Welcome back you wonderful wine to the world that has forgotten you. This is a big merlot with a deep dark color and nose that strongly suggests tar, cigar box and all things hearty!! Long finish, luxurious....brilliant. — 8 years ago

Wow. Absolutely terrific offering from Brewer-Clifton. At 11 years, this has an incredible nose of spiced rhubarb, dried strawberries, and a sagebrush undertone that adds terrific complexity. Has the classic spice one picks up from the Melville Verna's pinot, but is much more subdued and integrated into the wine, adding to its complexity. Wonderfully balanced, this wine probably has several more years of life left but is drinking beautifully right now. Probably the best Brewer-Clifton I've had. — 9 years ago

Revisiting this one. We are picking up apricot and some slate-like minerals on the nose. Great tastes of peaches, apricot and red apple with a fantastic mouthfeel. Pairing very well with my blackened snapper and Lisa's Chicken Spinach salad. Very nice wine. — 10 years ago

Drinking well but seems to be peaking, which was the consensus of our tasting group. Big ripe fruit, plum, soft tannins — 11 years ago

Loved this Pinot noir. Earthy and berries. Hard to beat at this price. It has more body than many other Pinot noirs. — 10 years ago
