I drank this at their open house, and at the time I thought it was one of the best 2011's we tasted. This is another example of a wine that will have the "experts" pondering the 2011 vintage. This may be similar to a 2003 for selected wineries. I'll go on the record that I like it - a lot. — 10 years ago

This is the most un-Zinfandel like Zinfandel. An elegant and light bodied wine at 13.2 % alcohol. Light cherry fruit with lively acidity. Lovely. — 10 years ago

My wines and me are not getting any younger, so what the heck.

First impression; Crumbly cork. Big berries, tar, slight green pepper and herby on the nose. Very nice integrated taste finish is okay a slightly sharp.

With Grilled Steak Dinner; Minerality/Earthiness showing in the nose with big berries and tar. Taste is delicious and finish expanding.

Delectable has its current price at $200. I got it for about $25 which was a lot back then.

Drank the Gravely Meadow years ago and did not think it was a good as this RRT. Only have a 1984 Volcanic Hill left, should drink that soon and share. — 11 years ago

Tasty older chard. Still plenty of freshness. Very balanced and complete wine. Restraint at birth yielding wisdom with age? Well made, cool wine. Minerality? Having fun @PRESS_St_Helena with Scott. Thanks for the taste of '66 La Mission Haut Brion! — 12 years ago

Forlorn Hope is a producer that has received great press of late, the last couple of bottles I tried, I felt vaguely disappointed, given the reviews. Here at last, is a spot-on dry Gewurztraminer from the Russian River Valley, that is exceptionally floral and deliciously concentrated. Orange blossom, jasmine tea, Cox Pippins. Fermented on skins for seven days, it imparts a lot of texture and even some tannins. Tart, with an almost austere quality, finishes with pink grapefruit and candied orange peel. — 11 years ago

At the opening of the bottle a rush of clean sweet ripe strawberry rushes over my face to follow with juicy raspberries then dusty soil on a warm summer day. There is also a hint of smokey oak with a bit of caramel. In the mouth it opens with the good red fruits with a sense of minerality. There is firm ripe tannins and the fruit continues on with a good long finish that ends with wet stones. Not a bad wine at all. — 12 years ago
