Aromas of red cherry, raspberry, pomegranate and sweet tobacco.  Multi-layered flavors of red, blue and black berry fruit, plums, cherries and a hint of blood orange underpin subtle layers of exotic spice and toast.  Fine tannins and balanced acidity drive a long finish. Very Good. — 8 years ago

Extremely true to terroir and Oregon Pinot all the way. Big nose of earth, mushroom perhaps and pure red fruit. Medium body but nice mouthfeel with notes of cranberry, raspberry and pomegranate and a little baking spice and minerality. Great acidity especially in the smooth finish. This is a well structured wine and extremely balanced even in its youth — 9 years ago

Fruit that seems overripe or syrupy. Bright strawberry, cranberry, rhubarb, pomegranate backed up with dark earth & chocolate, cinnamon stick, nutmeg and vanilla toasted oak. Smooth and easy to drink but a bit on the sweet side at this stage. Better in 5 years and will drink for another 5 years plus. — 10 years ago

Organic Mendocino red wine grapes blended with pomegranate, blood orange, and acai berry juices. At only 8.5%, this is a great daytime sipping wine for grilling and barbecuing. More tart than sweet. — 11 years ago

Slightly funky, tomato stem, dusty and mineral, menthol, ripe red berries, a bit woody, leathery with cigar, ashes on the nose, fig, dried strawberries, raspberry, pomegranate, raisin, slightly savory, nutmeg, all spice, preserved plum. Med body, med tannin. It's a Mourvèdre has a lot to offer. — 8 years ago

Giusto hits another one outta the park. Sicilian take on new world Pinot Noir, made in clay amphorae buried in the ground, light, pure pomegranate and red berry. Love how the clay and the red earth come through. Very long. Seek this out, decant a bit. — 9 years ago

Deep ruby glass with translucent ruby rim. Medium nose of anise, caramel, black cherry, plum, vanilla and tobacco. Medium full body and medium acid to the palate with dark cocoa, raspberry and pomegranate. Small tannins leads to a lingering finish of cocoa and black pepper. Very well balanced with excellent structure for a fairly valued $36.99 USD. Recommended for your special dinner when a smooth wine is needed. — 10 years ago

The 02 Sonoma is not quite the 02 Yorkville from a couple of weeks ago but none the less a very nice wine. Cranberries, raspberries and ripping pomegranate. Almost pie filling like. A touch of baking spices, smoked meats and a chalky finish. Drinking beautifully around it's peak! — 10 years ago

In a great spot. High toned cranberry & pomegranate notes on the palate accented with brisk acidity. Smoky notes on the nose and emerge on the finish. Great summertime red. — 8 years ago

Best to let breathe for a bit. Pomegranate and paint thinner in a good way. Dryish with a slightly sour finish. Great, reasonably priced wine. — 8 years ago

Sour patch kids and butter popcorn nose. The palate is velvety with pomegranate, a touch of chocolate and a figgy finish. Not as weird as its previous vintages, but still very enjoyable. Miss the massive funk though. — 9 years ago
