Excellent value and nearly everything you want in an entry level Oregon Pinot noir. A bit darker and more robust than I expected, and at 13.7% labeled abv. But quite balanced with darker red berries, some spice / chocolate notes, and slightly noticeable tannins. Lacking just a bit of acid on the finish for the freshness I’d love. — 5 years ago
Bought this in 2014 from Lsat Bottle. Should have bought more, it was a steal at the time and it has gotten even better in the last 5 years. Not too acidic, good amount of yeast, and overall excellent sparkling wine. 69% Pinot Noir, 31% Chardonnay — 6 years ago
Good stuff. - ripe fruit nose with green olive. Dense and smoky on the palate, less fruit than smoke but really tasty. Aerated first glass. Will reserve for tomorrow and see how Day 2-3 turn out. — 8 years ago

I love trying and exploring wines, but then I open this and wonder why I just don’t drink this forever. So fresh, so pretty, good acidity, tannin, and fruit, all of it balanced. Year after year this is my favorite broc wine. — 4 years ago

The only way to fire up for the Rolling Stones concert at Levi Stadium!!!!!!!!!!!! Pop and pour at the bar($240 deal, had to get it) an inky purple color. On the nose: blueberry, dark cherry, leather, floral. Taste: nice red fruit, black cherry, currents, milk chocolate, ...fine tannins and medium finish. — 6 years ago
Light and bright. A little too light for me. Black fruit. Red cherry. Not as robust as previous vintages, if I recall correctly but still solid. Loring consistently delivers. — 8 years ago

Really enjoyed this medium plus acid Pinot noir with mossy under tones and a bit of spice box kinda thing. It is young but enjoyable after about 30 mins. I should buy more. — 5 years ago
A full-body Pinot! Deep Ruby with berry aromas, floral and garden spice. On the palate ripe strawberry and dried cherry fruit with vanilla spice and cedar notes. The wine is well structured, silky smooth tannins, balanced acidity carry the wine to a lingering spicy finish. Very Nice! — 6 years ago
Wonderful organic wine from Trader Joe’s. Fruity. — 7 years ago
A surprisingly great red - as others have said. A very drinkable wine, but of smokiness to it, bold and quite red fruity. — 8 years ago
With Hibiscus floral notes on the nose, hints of strawberry, tart green apple upfront with a sweet mango, pineapple on the finish, this is my "go to" Champagne. — 9 years ago
About as close to Condrieu as I've seen Cali get. Lots of gardenias and tropicals mixed with a classic peachiness and solid structure. — 10 years ago
