Really incredible wine. Not paired with any food, the wine is flavorful, quenching w/ oak flavor adding the right dryness and notes of plum & vanilla to finish - really well balanced and opened well. Bottled was empty far too quickly : ) — 3 years ago

Fort Ross Seaview Bordeaux blend. Old world style. Truffle, cedar & cassis nose. Fresh style on the palate. Drinks more Super Tuscan than Bordeaux. Black currant & tobacco, but loads of fresh acid. Drinks great with a pork ragu & pasta. Definitely one to seek out. — 4 years ago

Nice acid, pear and cherry on the nose and it tastes like baking spices and a bit of crabapple. 👍🏻 — 7 years ago

Strong black pepper nose, with blueberry and jasmine. Wonderfully complex on the palate with dancing ripe red currants and blueberries. Amazing and delicious. Slight tannins and long, smooth finish. — 3 years ago

Something very clean and elemental about this wine, and something Bordelaise as well, given the depth, lack of California over-ripeness and relative inaccessibility in youth. Not an "easy" wine, but neither is young Lynch Bages. — 7 years ago

So, the nose on this is insane. Wildflowers and cinnamon simmering in perfume. Smooth palate of blue fruits. Sweet, tanninless. Really really good. No pepper which is a plus. Rich. — 7 years ago

Exquisite nose. Crushed raspberries, rose petals, and wet potting soil. Palate is lengthy, with tart cranberries, excellent acidity, and youthful finish. 375ml sample bottle. — 7 years ago
