Dark cherry red with flavors of raspberry and cherry, followed by hints of pepper and bay leaf. If you have been seeking total calm and satisfaction.... stop looking for it doesn’t exist... however this wine will definitely make you believe you have found it.... great pairing with roasted chicken, asparagus and fresh spring salad. — 6 years ago
Rich and interesting with a little bit of a funk, but still feels elevated. Young wines are good but it does mellow nicely with some aging in bottle. — 7 years ago
Wonderful organic wine from Trader Joe’s. Fruity. — 9 years ago
Just enough fizz to open it without a corkscrew. Hint of almond and green, still holding a good amount of acid. — 9 years ago
Super bright, clear wine, lighter bodied. Wonderful melon, lemongrass, passion fruit and white pepper nose. Green melon, passion fruit, peach, ginger and some herb notes I'm struggling to identify beyond the lemon grass, maybe tomato leaf? Passion fruit comes through nicely on the finish. Really pleased with this one! — 10 years ago

The second LLC1992 in one month, again a great effort and I think the best 1992. Fantastic concentration and ripe green impressions — 13 years ago

Enjoyable Cabernet Franc. Nice red and blueberry fruit with green pepper and olive. Earthy with pronounced barnyard, which faded by the second day. Well balanced. Not overly complex. — 9 years ago
A surprisingly great red - as others have said. A very drinkable wine, but of smokiness to it, bold and quite red fruity. — 9 years ago
Nice little pinot but man these 2014 Martinelli Pinots could all use about 4-5 years of bottle aging! 1 of 4 brought with us on a little weekend getaway, and was a great accoutrement. Nice acidity, great raspberry grit and had an herbal nose and finish. Really pleased, and even more pleased that the rest are in the lockup where they belong for a few years. — 10 years ago
Super smooth and mellow, great mouthfeel and a nice finish. Juicy. — 10 years ago
Pear and green apple on the nose, almond butter, and caramel glazed toast on the palate. Beautiful. — 11 years ago
I typically don't like sweet wines, but when I do, this one hits the spot. Definitely fruity. A little sparkly. — 12 years ago

Light straw colour with notes of bread, lemon, pear, apricot and white flower on the nose. Lively and ample mousse with a bright acidity. On the palate, lemon, tart green apple, unripe pear, white peach with some chalk and wet stone minerality. Long finish with a lemon zing and brioche. Very enjoyable but still very young and will be awesome in another 5 years! — 5 years ago
1984 vintage. Cork difficult to extract, ended up in several pieces. Beautiful deep color, little to no bricking even at this age. Seductive at one hour+ of air with black cherry, raspberry, some vanilla, green pepper, graphite. 12% ABV. From the FIL’s collection. — 7 years ago
Wow. A new world Pinot that isn't over fruited to death? GREAT Willamette valley wine, went with duck perfectly. — 8 years ago
Dark fruit and Coffee notes - in a good spot — 9 years ago
A controversial wine. Those who think a good, aged, traditional Bordeaux is a medium-bodied wine that smells of green pepper, light cassis and pencil shavings with aromas of funky leather saddle (the kind that may have recently been used on an actual horse) and tobacco will be pleased. Those expecting something sweeter, bolder and longer will be disappointed. This comes off a little angular but also correct and pleasant, if all those things can be true of a wine. — 10 years ago
Very pale green color with buttered toast, green apple, lemon, lime and wet stone aromas. On the palate it's approaches medium-bodied and is very fresh with green apple, mixed citrus and a hint of white peach flavors and an appealing minerality with a lingering finish. — 10 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. — 11 years ago

Fantastic value. Green apple, citrus, pear. Great nose, great finish. — 12 years ago

Excellent on a stand alone basis or in mimosas!! Slight brioche, caramel, butter, and a hint of apricot. Just as good at bottle opening as it was a couple hours later! — 3 years ago
