Shockingly light color. Nose is really nice with spice, rocky gravel, and chokecherry. Lean but flavorful. Loads of macerated cherry fruit and mineral. Some tannin in the crisp, fairly lengthy finish. — 8 years ago

Traditionally-styled. Very light color. Medium intensity nose of stony gravel, chokecherry and underbrush. Nice flavor intensity but a soft, light mouthfeel. Lingering finish. Was very nice and cleansing with a rich, tomatoey pasta sauce. Was a gift from my brother--thanks Ang.
UPDATE: Night 2 it showed much more intense fruit and flavor intensity. — 11 years ago

Nice, delicious Malbec. Dried fruit and nuts on the nose with earthy and spicy palette of cedar and chokecherry. — 11 years ago

Black cherries, deep plums, and smooth chokecherry flavors explode in your mouth. "Ends like a comet!" — 12 years ago

This is an absolutely fantastic Bordeaux style. Many claim to make wine in the French style but Clos du soleil really pulls it off. Black cherry, plum, cassis, chokecherry, cinnamon. Medium tannins, very long finish. Unbelievable bottle. — 9 years ago

Rich chokecherry syrup nose with an earthy undertone. Dusty cherry, leather, and crushed rocks in the mouth. Fair amount of fine-grained tannin. Nice! — 11 years ago

A very distinctively-styled Neb. The nose suggests a very lean wine: cracked stone minerality holds sway over tart, crisp chokecherry scents. A hint of spice. In the mouth, it is lean, but surprisingly weighty and long. Austere in the best sense. Great length, purity, and acidity. Would be absolutely phenomenal with a rich beef tomato and red wine braise. Excellent value. — 9 years ago

Definite taste of chokecherry (you likely have to be from the MT West to know what this is like) with smokey smooth undertones. — 10 years ago

2008. Dried roses, chokecherry liquor scents, and I could swear I smell a glacier. I haven't had a Valtellina Nebbiolo this good since the early 80s. Absolute Alpine Nebbiolo perfection. F--- modern Barolo. — 11 years ago

Still bold fruit with strong tannin. Color still bright chokecherry. Lengthy plum finish. Would be excellent with robust foods. We just sipped on its own. — 12 years ago
