This needs some time and it will be outstanding. Great expression of Willamette Pinot. Bing cherries, some cranberry, mushrooms, dry leaves, and some garden soil. Beautiful acidity and a nice firm frame tell me this will continue to develop nicely. Come back for a taste around 2018. — 9 years ago
One of, if not my favorite, rioja producers. Fruit on the 03 is a bit crisper than other vintages. Cranberry, tomato (leaf?), deftly deliberate oxidation, earth and savory balsamic, all framed in lovely oak. Fine integrated tannin. Long savory finish — 9 years ago
Bold for Beaujolais. Somewhat grippy tannins balanced by plum, cranberry flavors and a stony minerality. Medium acid keeps it lively. A very pleasant drink. — 9 years ago
Love red. acidic bright awesomeness. Notes of cherry. Reminds me of cranberry juice in the best possible way. — 10 years ago
Lighter than many Beaujolais's. Cranberry, plastic, noticeable acidity but not overpowering. Nice and good price point — 7 years ago

So fun to drink. Cranberry and mineral bomb. — 9 years ago
Sweet black cherry liqueur on the first glass (after one, the liqueur effect begins to fade), ripe cranberry, raspberry, cooked rhubarb, black & red licorice together, dry cranberry, tar, black earth, minerals and smoked meats. Baking spices; cinnamon, vanilla. Sticky resolved tannins that coat your mid plate. Woody with tobacco leaf. Enjoy with a steak or good meat sauce with or without truffles. Drink now and for at least another 10-15 years. Perhaps, even beyond. Think the score could inch up to a 9.6 with some additional aging. — 9 years ago
Super tight. Fairly rugged tannins. Probably needs a year in the bottle. Good notes of herbs and cranberry. Can be drunk now and definitely enjoyed, but give it an hour to open up a bit. — 10 years ago

Beautifully balanced. Little bit of cherry and cranberry. Hint of pepper. So well made. Great wine!! — 8 years ago
Wow! Such a cool wine. Ruby in color, remarkably complex nose of dried roses, pepper, cranberries, an edge of balsamic,and herbs. The palate follows nose, except that it's not over ripe like the balsamic notes would suggest. The wine displays bright red raspberry and cranberry fruit, mouth quenching acidity, and fine textured tannins. — 9 years ago
2004 vintage aging glacially. Full youthful nose of cranberry, sour cherry, grapefruit zest and spice. Medium weight sweet cherry fruit with bright juicy acidity. Structure working well with still plush fruit. Tangy, long finish. This tastes so freaking young - could be a 3-4 year old wine. — 9 years ago

Fresh, lively and juicy with great acid, fine but present tannins and cherry, cranberry, sweet slice and purple flowers with a touch of earth. Yum!!! — 7 years ago
