Outstanding Willamette Pinot. Cola, cherry, wet earth, and a surprising amount of tannin. — 7 years ago

The wine pours a medium gold color with promising honeysuckle, baked apple, melon, and baking spice aromas. On the palate it's full bodied for a wine that sees no ML. It's harmonious with bright acidity and a hint of tannins that add to its delightful structure. It shows baked white peach and apple, melon, a bit of nectarine and baking spice flavors with a lingering finish. This is a great winter white! The fruit was sourced from the Bonofiglio Vineyard, owned by Glenn McGourty and his two brothers. It's a seven-acre organically farmed vineyard is located five miles north of the town of Hopland. It was aged in neutral French oak for five months with lees contact and stirred once a month to increase mouthfeel. 14.2% abv — 8 years ago

2011. Petite, Syrah, Malbec blend. Big simple and damn tasty. Perfect for the giant pork chop that is on the grill now. Dark blue fruit. Viscous texture. Nearly black in color. The petite is really showing through. — 8 years ago

Full ripeness of cherry fruit with beautiful balance of acid, cardamon, five spice and cedar undertones. Medium body weight. But I'd cellar this for longer term drinking in 5-10 years — 9 years ago

This 06 still needed nearly two hours to open up. The fruit was nice but the earth and dark minerals needed time to calm down. The blue fruits were good throughout just over powered by dark earth and minerals until an hour forty-five in the decanter. — 8 years ago

8.9

Merlot and Cab Franc. Garnet to the edges. Medium viscosity. Strong nose of cherries and red licorice. Needed forty five minutes to loosen up. Cherries,, raspberry, faint mushroom, slight menthol drying the tongue. Acid medium plus. Could probably successfully age another 10-15 years based on tannin. — 11 years ago
