Easy drinking, well balanced, hardly any tannins — 5 years ago
I believe this is my first bottle from the Fort Ross Seaview AVA.
The nose is gorgeous with fresh berries framed by floral, herbal, and earthy elements. On the palate it’s lively yet refined, with juicy raspberry and cranberry leading the way. Soft integrated tannins.
Drinking alongside the Sea Smoke Ten of the same vintage, this beauty certainly stands on its own, and actually offers a deeper and more complex nose. Just a lovely Pinot! — 6 years ago

well balanced, but not knocking me out like the 2014. may need to open up a bit. $33 — 7 years ago

Light cab, not as full flavor but pairs well with meat — 2 years ago
Really incredible wine. Not paired with any food, the wine is flavorful, quenching w/ oak flavor adding the right dryness and notes of plum & vanilla to finish - really well balanced and opened well. Bottled was empty far too quickly : ) — 5 years ago

Strong black pepper nose, with blueberry and jasmine. Wonderfully complex on the palate with dancing ripe red currants and blueberries. Amazing and delicious. Slight tannins and long, smooth finish. — 5 years ago
Clay loved it. Soph liked but not as much as clay but would drink again. — 5 years ago
Fabulously surprising! This wine is one of those warm robust bear humans who wraps you in a hug that doesn’t smother you, it frees you. It’s fresh. Oodles of dark berries and plums plus vanilla and a very herbal earthy thing and something like leather. So very very good. — 6 years ago

It’s fun drinking Grand Crus, but it’s tough when they’re opened alongside “lesser” red burgundies that are drinking better (at this moment in time). Like many Grand Crus, this comes off as one dimensional but clearly singing its own beautiful song. — 7 years ago

A wonderful Mount Veeder Cab that has aged elegantly.
The nose shows blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum laced with savory notes of cedar, tobacco and dried herbs. The palate is concentrated yet vibrant with silky tannins has firm grip, finishing long with hints of cocoa and espresso.
Restrained power and finesse, Yannick brought both Veeder’s rugged characters and French precision. Last bottle. — 8 months ago
