Juicy California Pinot Noir, with notes is dark cherry and mild spice, at Cornerstone restaurant in Ogunquit, Maine — 5 years ago
This cornerstone Pinot vineyard in Anderson Valley is known for powerful fruit, and this vintage is a great example. The knock is that the fruit expression is obvious and more one-dimensional than pinot from, say, Sonoma or Willamette Valley. I like this wine and the work Kevin Harvey has done with Rhys in Anderson Valley - but the jury is still out in my mind - I’m not convinced it will become a great region for Pinot noir... — 6 years ago

Nice smooth. Nutmeg. Blackberry, figs. — 8 years ago
A pleasant blend. Opened up nicely on the 2nd day. An old world feel to it. A voluptuous taste, but not a ton of fruit. — 8 years ago

Very interesting Red Blend from Hungary. I generally love the Zweigelt varietal, but it is surprisingly not the cornerstone of this wine. (Thirteen different varietals (must include three) can be blended to make Egri Bikavér).
Aromas and flavors of Cranberries, Raspberries and peppery spice. Light color and body. Short on the finish but very pleasant. Thank you Ron B. Revisited in June 2021. Aging beautifully! — 5 years ago
One of my close friends and I aged a bottle of this French Malbec upon his leave from NYC.
It’s not a particularly great bottle. It can be bought for $11. It is exceptional because of its context. We forget that wine is an opportunity. A moment of memory and gratitude to create. If we use this excuse to gather with friends, then we’ve already elevated the wine.
We aged it for just 1.5 years and so it met its 5 year mark. It was light, resembling the composition of a Pinot Noir. It was airy and, now, after tasting the bottle this weekend again, new, without the extra aging, we can tell that the chemical, sugary aftertaste disappeared.
Great out of the store, even better after personal aging in a walnut veneer bar, and exceptional if drunk with friends, especially close ones.
Two bottles, across two weeks, aging one for almost two years. For the cornerstone experience, a 9.3.

In 1987, Ray & Nancy started Elyse Winery with 286 cases of Zinfandel from the Morisoli Vineyard, which is still a cornerstone vineyard source for the winery. Dark Ruby with rich ripe berry aromas. Flavors of blackberry and raspberry with cinnamon and cacao notes. Very soft dry tannins on lingering finish ending with some earthy spice tones. Outstanding! — 7 years ago
