Probably the most enjoyable California Chard I've had. Reminded me of a more complex Kistler. Same full bodied, full nose and rich texture as a kistler, but more layers of flavor. Lots of tropical fruit, some butter scotch and layers of earthiness to round it out. 2014 vintage. — 9 years ago

Not a fancy label, but a fancy Pinot indeed. Delicious, bright acid, ripe cherry, rhubarb, cola. The 2012 is ready to drink now... Cooler cellars might can handle another 3-4 years, but why wait? — 9 years ago

2009 Peter Michael Belle Cote Chardonnay. Dinner at Tap during staycation. Brought this out as a backup, thinking the '07 Kistler was probably dead- and it was. This wine, thankfully, was great. Well-balanced, not too much oak, honey, apricot, butter, brioche. Gentle finish. We really enjoyed this wine, perhaps more so than otherwise, due to its comp against the corked Kistler. — 10 years ago

Outstanding! WOTN. Perfectly integrated. Red fruit with lots of depth. A great example of an opulent and concentrated red from CA. Drinking at its top. — 13 years ago

Trying out Stanford Wine Class. Pulled out three Pinots to taste test. I *loved* the old Kistler Pinots with their dark color, thick jammy viscosity and forest floor notes. The shift towards a lighter more typical Pinot while nice just doesn't make me go wow. It's nice but just that. — 9 years ago

カリピノ特有のパワフルな感じに加え、上品なフルーティーさの酸味が非常にポイント高い。
意外と酸味があるのが特徴で、これがとてもイイ！ — 13 years ago
