Fabulous pinot noir to accompany our or of the ordinary surf and turf. Beautiful wine, on its own and with a meal. What a wonderful discovery! — 6 years ago
We had the 2009 Vintage on 9/7-8/18. The strawberry fruit is subtle. There was cardomom, mushroom and a nice spice. Truly Burgundian. Medium bodied. No tannin; smooth and ready to drink. — 7 years ago
Lovely Chablis crisp, clean, medium acidity. Lots of green fruit and not spicy. Elegant and long finish. — 8 years ago
Incredibly fresh! Red fruit, slightly meaty and mineral. Such a crushable wine — 9 years ago

This was stunning. Caramel nose, with a rich, smooth finish. Fantastic with a tangy, spicy, coconut Indian fish curry. — 5 years ago
A lot going on the nose. Red fruit, black fruit, meat, leather. Would be a good wintertime wine. Too bad they’re sold out at Kermit Lynch. Devin gave it 💯 — 5 years ago
I was curious about longevity of this wine. Popped and poured and just delicious. — 5 years ago
$45 bottle; was much lighter than other CdP, more like a Pinot. — 6 years ago
Kath Lucas has a great pour. — 7 years ago
Old reliable. Always one of my favorite Rhones. Heavyish-medium body, heavy fruit, medium tannin, great food complement, mouthy. Even drinks well alone & is friendly enough not to overpower cheese or light hors d'oeuvre. — 10 years ago
Tart, slight grass. Excellent with sourdough and seafood — 11 years ago
1990 vintage - stored always in the same cellar in optimal conditions, decanted before drinking - a great complex mysterious multiple layer aged Pinot, very earth and tertiary connected wine, with power and finesse in the same time - a great experience 😊 — 11 years ago
Nothing better than a well aged Chardonnay and fatty, cold water fish. This bottle is our go to pairing for grilled steelhead trout.
Nose is evolving since my prior post, oxidized green apple peel and cold caramel.
Palate is lightly sweet lemon curd/custard, baked red apple, cooked lemon, warm granite dust and a zing of acidity on the close.
Our feline house managers pestered for comfortable portions on the trout, they are good boys and girls, generally, so we endulge.
Great night listening to Hugh Masekela and Mongo Santamaria on the HiFi, everything complimented!
One bottle left, then we move along to the next vintage. — 6 years ago
Superb color; good stain on the cork. Deep cherry nose with rich Pinot flavors. Lovely balance and aftertaste. Good for another 10 years. — 8 years ago
