Charged aromas of strawberry preserves and vanilla cola that quickly stand aside to reveal nuanced flavors of lavender Earl Gray tea, menthol, sage, green tobacco, baking spices, and brown sugar. Cranberry sauce on the palatte. Stellar finish. Definitely one of the more complex Central Coast Pinot Noirs I've had. — 5 years ago

Consistently great bottle of wine. Racy, floral and, with baking spice. Long finish. Strong value. — 7 years ago

Crisp, smooth and not very sweet — 8 years ago
Earthy and meaty from jump. The pretty fruit lurks pretty far under but comes strong on the finish and as I keep sipping, along with a big herbal dose. It's a fun ride! And here I thought everything in Madrid was gray and dull. 🙄 — 9 years ago

While it is not a reserve build, this still sees plenty of oak...malo is avoided here. I like its fresh Chard fruit vibe and viability...acid is key here — 7 years ago
Nice clean and dry cider. Gray apple taste. Wonderful with pizza. — 9 years ago
2013. Fruity. Has dry finish. Drier as it opens up. John Frame might like this but not a company wine. Wine 3 of 3 from my first wine club shipment. Marin nicknames this "Naughty". Yikes, this is one of three bottles that are 2013 Cabernet Sauvignons but with different nicknames and labels! (1) "French Kiss", red and black label; (2) "Intimate", gold and black label; (3) "Naughty", red and gray label. Maybe his website explains the difference. — 10 years ago

Candied cherry, red raspberry and pomegranate fruit, with notes of Earl Gray tea, spice and forest floor. Fruit forward wine with a saline note on the tannic finish. — 5 years ago
