Lots of red berries and some spices too, very charming, fresh, vivid, drinks easy with some depth, nice balance. 90-91

Un vin expressif, du fruit rouge à revendrez, frais, vif, énergique, minéral et ayant un bel équilibre. 90-91 — 4 years ago

Reductive at first with some smoke. Not unlike PYCM. Reduction blows away rather quickly and reveals clean citrus fruit. Some salinity on the palate. Guesses were PM, SA, M. Relatively short finish indicated village level. Overall decent. — 7 years ago

Took about 30 mins to open up, but this is one that's ready to go. Good luck of oak, chunky fruit. Great value! — 9 years ago

Crazy that his second vintage is such a great one. Loads of texture through the mid palate held together by core acid through to finish. Worth laying down for sure. — 9 years ago

Painfully young but with great potential . Tons of white flowers , lemon curd , minerals ; saline focused and precise needs some time but will reward . — 6 years ago

An amazing look into Napa's yesteryear. Thanks Robin! Completely tertiary in nature, redolent of Xmas spices, and a perfect wind-down from the powerful wines of the evening, — 8 years ago

Magnum 1997 Joseph Phelps Insignia. Drank at Archetype lunch w B&K K, J&L B, and M&R H. Second of the red lineup, following a magnum of 1975 Heitz. Much bigger and its youth showed. Lovely wine that we all really enjoyed. — 9 years ago

Eucalyptus bomb. Like Heitz Martha’s Vineyard, early Turnbull wines were known for the character imparted by neighboring eucalyptus groves. I’ve never come across a wine where it was as apparent as with this one. Perhaps with age the eucalyptus sticks around as the fruit fades. Enjoyable experience all the same. — 6 years ago

Ruby red with pink hue. Fresh muddled strawberry and raspberry with stem attached to it. Hint of bubble gum, mint and tarragon on the nose. Med plus to high acidity, mineral, dry with med to med plus tannin. A food rose to enjoy with Mexican food such as chicken and beef tacos. — 7 years ago
