Somewhat cloudy gold color. Melons, camomile, and a touch of peach on the nose. Same on the palate. Massive depth and long finish. Zero acidity. Very well made. — 2 months ago

Pale lemon color with aromas of stone fruits and blossom and spice, fruit from the Martinelli Charles Ranch, two miles in from the Pacific, aged for 12 months in 25% new oak. On the palate flavors of apple and pear with a touch of zesty lemon, crisp, with nitty vanilla notes. Nice mouthfeel, vivid acidity, medium+ finish ending with fruit, vanilla and citrus mineral character. Nice! — 5 months ago

A huge amount of fruit. Purchased back in the day when my love of fruit forward vino was it. Now, not so much 🤔 — 10 months ago

I think it because more balanced over time, so I'd recommend holding or decanting if drinking in the next year. — 5 years ago

Possibly a potential go to medium $ Pinot noir. Can't think of what is better except for stuff we have equity in — 6 months ago

Ok. Not the easiest vintage in SONOMA. You’d never know it. Seamless, complex aromas of sweet tobacco and blackberry and herb and soil. Started with a little oxidation but woke up to deliver its message of power Zin. — 7 years ago
