Fort Ross Seaview Bordeaux blend. Old world style. Truffle, cedar & cassis nose. Fresh style on the palate. Drinks more Super Tuscan than Bordeaux. Black currant & tobacco, but loads of fresh acid. Drinks great with a pork ragu & pasta. Definitely one to seek out. — 7 years ago

So, the nose on this is insane. Wildflowers and cinnamon simmering in perfume. Smooth palate of blue fruits. Sweet, tanninless. Really really good. No pepper which is a plus. Rich. — 10 years ago

Rich ruby in color with great depth and intensity, this single-block Pinot Noir captures the signature characteristics of Dijon clone 667. Aromas of fresh blackberry, cherry, Marionberry and strawberry mingle with subtle notes of forest floor, cardamom, vanilla and toast. Profound and inspiring, the wine features a massive presence balanced with extraordinarily focused fruit and silky tannins. Alluring notes of strawberry and raspberry expand and meld with the added mid-palate interlay born of oak tank fermentation. With its enduring finish, gorgeous acidity and phenomenal balance, this is a fascinating wine worthy of honoring the most auspicious occasions.

We hand-picked and hand-sorted the fruit, reserving 20% for whole-cluster fermentation prior to de-stemming. The remaining berries were de-stemmed and hand-sorted again before transfer to a new Taransaud wooden cuve. Five to seven days of cold maceration preceded more than two weeks of 100% native yeast fermentation. The fruit was then gently pressed, its free-run juice transferred to 17% new French oak barrels for 15 months of aging.

Fabulously surprising! This wine is one of those warm robust bear humans who wraps you in a hug that doesn’t smother you, it frees you. It’s fresh. Oodles of dark berries and plums plus vanilla and a very herbal earthy thing and something like leather. So very very good. — 7 years ago

Medium bodied with aromas of blue fruit and candied plum followed by a silky finish with a slight lift of effervescence. — 8 years ago

9.3

Something very clean and elemental about this wine, and something Bordelaise as well, given the depth, lack of California over-ripeness and relative inaccessibility in youth. Not an "easy" wine, but neither is young Lynch Bages. — 9 years ago

Slightly acidic and a bit higher in alcohol than the smooth jazz Sonoma bottles I'm used to, but i really enjoyed this. A hint of raspberry and forest floor. — 10 years ago
