Dark and opaque. Earthy nose. Unusually heavy and thick for a Pinot, particularly a Cali Pinot. Give this at least two hours in decanter. — 10 years ago

Tasted this alongside the Mt. Brave Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Veeder. Both incredible wines but this one just had a bit more of a punch to it. Dark ruby purplish red. Insanely tight to start on the nose with some raspberries. Developed some earthy tones like truffles and mushrooms with a few hours in the glass. Not as fruity as the Mt. Brave and pretty tight with some austere mountain berries. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied. Definitely needs some time to fully balance out. Long and dry finish. Very impressive and everything coats the glass. Drink from 2017 till 2036. — 10 years ago

Best Pinot for the money hands down. Heavy for a Pinot, drinks more like a cab. Buy it, open it up and let it sit an hour, love your life. — 11 years ago

Very smooth Zinfandel, high alcohol but no burn and very smooth tannins. Colour is purple and rich and smells of jam, toffee and spice. Great taste and heavy fruit combined with vanilla, winter spices and menthol. Really nice wine, well worth trying. — 9 years ago

This was breathing fire 15 minutes after opening. Nose was Christmas Pudding with Hard Sauce. Heavy raisin on the tongue. No other way to describe it. Definitely softened after a couple hours. To be honest, I liked it in the pudding phase best. #DNWC — 10 years ago

Deep ruby red. Interesting nose to begin with some forest floor, a touch burnt, sweet spices and black fruits. A touch dusty on the palate, with lots of red cherries, spices and a touch dark too. Heavy tannins (7.5/10), and full bodied with a long finish. Drink from 2019 till 2031. — 9 years ago
