Slight hint of reduction that faded with 30 mins. Darker fruit profile than expected, considering the light color and low alcohol. 12.5%. well crafted, well balanced. Great value — 8 years ago

In a micro world where Sonoma Coast Pinot can be anything from overripe candy to verging on watery, Royal St. Robert kind of nails it. Carlo has put together a bulls-eye blend of earth and fruit, herbs, and texture. It shows restraint but it isn't diluted.

The nose has all sorts of fresh red berries tossed in a basket with foraged dirty wild mushrooms and minty herbs. There is body. Plenty of acid too. Flavors of raspberry, rosemary, mint, leather, and cinnamon. Whole cluster, plush, with a little bit of stemmy pushback.

Of the many faces of Cali Pinot, this one one of my favorites. — 4 years ago

Great stuff. 2012 vintage. Violets, lilacs, some savory notes of grilled meat. Really good acidity keeps this bright and balances the weight of the dark fruit. Tannins give it good finish — 7 years ago

Impromptu meet up at Classic!

Know nothing of this producer. Whoa...whole cluster here? Spicy, crunchy and bramble driven. Very Sta Rita Hills. Rhubarb and cedar smoked nose. The palate is less complex than I expected based on the nose, but it’s still floral with an added cranberry sauce finish. — 8 years ago

Day one: Shy on the nose, with some floral elements (roses and violets). Day two: Bright, ripping whole-cluster aromatics! Laser beams of cranberry and herbs on the mid palate, beautiful finish without so much as a shadow of oak. This is pure, no-frills Burgundy fruit without compromise at the humble Bourgogne level. $27 Bottle Barn price- incredible value. Will drink well for easily another 5-7 years. Great play for your $- a modest price of admission for a relatively serious wine. — 8 years ago

Killer Barolo that today reminds me of a Rayas with its kirsch, strawberry very elegant & floral with notes of rhubarb, iron & lavender with layers of spice. Whole cluster that makes this wine taste so special. — 9 years ago
