Comes out earthy and a touch funky, which fades with time open, leaving behind pure brambly berry fruit. Delicate, with good concentration and length. — 2 years ago

Light, bright, tart cherry, nice finish. So balanced and well done. Can’t wait to see what this family does with Williams Selyem and CA grapes in the years ahead — 3 years ago

Paired with the fourth course, Côtes de Bœuf, and this is a classic pairing. A finely structured N-S-G and perhaps a touch too young yet? Regardless, it was a fantastic compliment to the beef. I think time will coax more out of this one. — 5 years ago

All previous negative reviews were for ‘05 vintage. Guess the winemaker fixed the “problem” by 2012. $55 purchased in New Orleans to drink with our beef tenderloin, Holiday Dinner. Did not disappoint in fact, when I asked my wine guy for a solid burgundy for $50-60, he nailed it with this election. Very traditional and will purchase again. The acidity from ‘05 reviews not present here. Nice red fruit, but not overbearing. Second glass after a little air and chill was highlife if he evening. — 6 years ago
