Truly my kind of white. Oily, dry and with a character of its own. Equally suitable w/ & w/o food: Try it w/ monkfish! 2 years celebration, 15/3-2018 — 6 years ago

Rochioli West Block might be my favorite. 2008 is also drinking very well right now. Bittersweet that this is our last meal at Scopa. It's been a delicious run. 😢😋 — 7 years ago

Light and refreshing. Fruity flavors with slight vanilla undertones. Very crisp, but has a slight bite in the aftertaste. Would be great with mussels, crab, or a sharp cheese platter. — 9 years ago

It's still a puppy and needed a good amount to open up. From start to finish one of the best American Pinots I've had. Elegant and complex, red fruit and a lot of earth notes. — 10 years ago

Impressive! So satisfying on a@hit summer evening. Pear, lemon, peach, just off dry, and the perfect bubbles. — 4 years ago

9.3

A beautiful nose of soft red fruits, some spice, soulful plummy stuff. Very burgundinian but the plushness of US Pinot. On the palate this has great poise. Light but intense this has lovely fresh fruit and some gnarly wild herbs with underlying acidity and good length. Apparently the ‘j’ refers to Jayer cuttings being the source of the Pinot. If so, that would go some way toward explaining why this is so aromatic and balanced. Excellent — 5 years ago

Finally it's come into play! Sanguine with wild strawberries dancing. Discreet fruit but delicious. This is a winemaker to keep watch on and 'throw down' for the cellar. — 7 years ago

Nose of slightly syrupy and jammy blue fruits of; olallieberries, blueberries, huckleberries, black raspberries, blackberries, spiced plums, dark cherries, dark cherry cola, expresso roast, dried dark flowers, spice, cinnamon & anise, dry stems and leather. On the palate, full bodied, round, juicy with fine powdery tannins and darkly elegant. Fruits, of; blueberries, olallieberries, black raspberries, blackberries, plums, dark cherries, cinnamon, nutmeg. mocha powder, light vanillin, anise, espresso roast, black tea, soft leather, finely dry crushed rock powder, graphite, underbrush, poached strawberries hit the long palate set, dark rich earth, dry red flowers, liquid violets and notes of tarriness.

Bramble berries, Oolong tea, lavender, fennel on the finish. Chewy tannins- interesting for a Pinot. Almost more zin or Petite sirah like. Enjoyed — 3 years ago

Needs to warm up a bit before drinking. Needs air too. Otherwise the oak is too prominent. Lovely fruit flavors tending towards the tropical. Tasty Pouilly-Fuisse! Enjoyed over 2 nights. 13% abv. — 4 years ago

9.0

Ruby color with aromas of raspberry and strawberry. Medium acidity and low tannin. Dry. Medium finish of tart raspberry. Good starter or served with something like salmon or greens. Wouldn't play to well with a more meaty entre. Price is right under $20 but we could probably do better. — 7 years ago

This is the best wine my grandfathers made. Even got a picture of him drinking it. This Syrah is huge in body and spicy like no other. Intense black peppercorn on the nose, lush creamy berry up front. Finishes again peppercorn spice. This is as good as it gets. — 10 years ago
