Fantastic. Perfect age. Older world. Feels and tastes like a bottle many times more expensive. — 5 years ago

Supple, jammy, silky mouthfeel, grapefruit, reminds me of the smokey charcoal of a Vacqueyras and the fruit of a luscious Pinot.

A recommended Rhône from the local shop owner on 23rd street.

A bouquet that brings the memory of clementines.

with props to Zack at Flatiron Wines: yes, eminently drinkable and characterful Pinot from South Africa (!!!???) exists. (!!!) At a gentle price point to boot. — 10 years ago

It's a more rounded less acidic version of gruner sweet peas, — 11 years ago

Fabulous. Montrachet like (just needs a slightly softer finish). — 12 years ago

Sipping Fine Wine

8.9

Deep Ruby with purple edges, aromas of dark fruits, herbs and spice. On the palate flavors of cherry, plum and licorice with spicy notes. Medium finish, dusty tannins, vivid acidity ending with fruit and spice. — 3 years ago

Justin Hart

9.3

Wow! Still bright, chalky, and full of youthful grip. Red plum, raspberry, lichee and white pepper notes are most dominant. This could easily go another few years and not be at its peak. — 5 years ago

9.3

Great suave texture with black fruit. Linear structure. Not really like a TRB wine, stylistically. Give 3-4 years. Needs a good amount of air. A really impressive first release. — 8 years ago

David Kline

Green tomatoes, lillies, watermelon, honeydew in the ether. Creamy lime and dragonfruit tastes, with a briny touch. — 9 years ago

A perfect cheese and wine Rose'. Pinkish hue from skins not blend, and is a very affordable, light and fruity, easy drinking anytime wine. — 13 years ago

My 2nd favorite 20 yr behind Grahams. Ramos Pinto is good as well, but seems to have to bottle to bottle variability issues…. Taylor is a great standby at a good price. — 4 years ago

8.9

This was a head scratcher. Don’t think I’ve had a wine like this. It wanted to reveal white chocolate and marzipan, but instead it tasted like green tea/chamomile coated almonds. It had some buttered pear and honeyed melon notes on the finish...very unique. — 6 years ago

Mark Garcia

Strong stuff! Only for sipping but good. However my pallet gets better flavor on some cheaper choices. — 7 years ago

Stunning. Pale red, almost brown in colour but with an amazing freshness despite its age balanced with a pleasingly mild sweetness. — 9 years ago

9.7

Very pleasant boutique bottling from a superior vintage featuring a texture of black pepper, black tea, savory and dark cherry. Purchased for low $20s, this producer does small productions beside selling fruits to leading Mendocino producers. Low level of tannin would make this a an easy choice for by-the-glass and for many Pinot fans — 11 years ago
