We had the 2013 Vintage on 2/21-22/20. Bright red fruit on the bouquet. Tart cherry, strawberry and pomegranate on the palate. Bright and acidic. Good but not great. — 7 years ago

Nicely aged coastal Pinot. Dried currants and licorice notes. Deep ruby body. Nicely aged but nearing the end of its drinkability. — 8 years ago

Complexity over 2 days. Initially more a fruit bomb (think Aussie Shiraz). Day 2 brought smokey meat and a Côte-Rotie clone! Super interesting — 12 years ago

Did a cheese pairing with this monster. Full of flavor and married well with a rich smooth Vermont cheddar. Complex wine. — 12 years ago

A wonderful expression of spice, earth, smoke and brush in this medium-bodied, but intensely flavorful wine. Fruit plays a secondary role, with subtle flavors of raspberry and blueberry. — 7 years ago

Smooth, right degree of ML. Look out of any window, any evening, any day.
You'll always be grateful for what La Fenetre does with Bien Nacido Chardonnay, Block 11 and "i" Block.

Apologies to Jerry. I wish that I was drinking with him as wel as the rest of you. This one helps me to pretend. — 12 years ago

Soft notes of mocha and light coffee roast with gentle dusty tannins an earthy core and light red fruit mingling with smoked meat. The finish is peppery but elegant — 7 years ago

Has to be in the conversation of the top Cali Vio's. Unctuous tropical fruit and flowers with the right dollop of acidity. Ever so slightly off-dry. Outstanding with chicken in Thai peanut sauce. — 10 years ago
