Greg Linn! Third Pinot with Meera and Mythri — 9 years ago
Great aroma...slightly dry, with a dense sweet berry taste. — 10 years ago
Pale yellow color with appealing green apple, lime, cantaloupe, ocean breeze aromas complemented by hints of tropical fruit and orange blossom. On the palate, it approaches medium bodied, and persistent with crackling acidity, and a wonderful texture. It shows green apple, lime a bit of stone fruit and a bit of melon flavors with a giving finish. 2014 Vintage — 10 years ago

2012 This seems to be at its best. Light well balance but short finish. — 8 years ago
Bright aromas of sour red cherries, rhubarb, earthy spice and some savorury/stalky herbal qualities. Both and weight both immaculate. Supple, fluid, intense and great length. Drinking well now with develop just stating to peek through the primary fruits. Still has time. — 9 years ago
Immediately you are bombarded with scents of lime and ocean air. Wave after wave of salt water coated fruit caress every inch of your mouth. Reminds me of the flavor you get when sucking on the walking legs of a lobster. Incredible balance which allows this wine to have an endless finish — 9 years ago
Great with Steak on a chilly night — 10 years ago
Beautiful tropical nose with clear hints of vanillin oak. This has serious presence on the pallet and the texture shows serious restraint that really pays off, it is so supple and perfectly delicate and fresh. Touch of granite minerality. WOW!
Seriously outstanding. — 10 years ago
Finishing off the night...cheesecake and bourbon. Ocean is definitely a wee bit briny but has all the savory caramel and vanilla notes of its Presidential brethren, smooth and rich comported. And not so loaded with the alky...so I may have another — 10 years ago
An absolute dream. It smells like it wants to go to a campfire. — 6 years ago
Revisiting. It actually did well with a smidge of age. Less saline more really ripe kumquat. I want this wine to be my best friend. Like we are both gonna change and mature but will always provide quality us-time to each other. Dang I’m worried Eight Cellars isn’t making wine anymore? Because I was able to buy 2014 Sauvignon Blanc in 2018... — 7 years ago
I needed a monster to pair with the ultimate smoky BBQ. This Cab fit the bill. — 8 years ago
Steely, austere, super mineral (deep ocean crushed shells). Grippy, beautiful texture and laser focused acid. Incredible long length! — 8 years ago
Hit the wine over the Easter dinner with the family or friends was delightful I'll have it again — 9 years ago
An all time fav. Vines grow up to the cliff overlooking the ocean. Can taste the shist and salt. Delicate ethereal wine. Maybe a muscadet? — 10 years ago
Great wine! Will age well! — 10 years ago
Ocean, oysters, briney, bell pepper on the nose. Lots of minerailty and brineyness. The fruit is going away, but there is a ton of acid and tannin. Sweet honeyed finish. Medium body. — 10 years ago
Aavery nice everyday wine at this price point. Fruity, not particularly complex. Bright fruit, mostly sour cherry and cranberry, but with an overriding sweetness, so no puckering. — 10 years ago
