Dark purple tawny. Killer nose. Notes of smoked meats, black cherry, white pepper and exotic spices, some anise and some course gravel. Silky in the mouth. Long finish. A poor man’s La La. — 5 years ago

Poor man’s Raveneau...which is no faint praise. All Servin’s ‘17s are beyond great. — 7 years ago

Classic Bandol rose’ with a full mouthfeel. Mouthwatering. I agree with @Geoff Troup, poor man’s Tempier. Killer value. — 7 years ago

For me it has easily been a year since the last time I experienced one of these. And wow let me tell you this one would STILL confuse me if I was blindfolded and asked to tell the year of vintage. I would have guessed 2014 or 2015. This wine is POWERFUL. Complex, deep, structure is massive. The nose of this wine is blackberry and dark chocolate. The entry is dark, deep blackberry, cassis, smokey. Middle has some mint chocolate chip, dates. Finishes strong, very youthful, immense amount of black pepper and still quite tannic. Still has 7-10 years in it. Drink 2018-2028 — 8 years ago

THE. BEST. DOMESTIC. CHARD!!!!!! Yes, yes, yes. I'm blown away. This is the best domestic chard I've ever drank. This particular vintage is killer. I could poor this in a lineup of top notch Meursault and none would be the wiser, that's how good this is. Intense smoke/funk brought on by minerality that most domestic producers could only dream of. A legendary wine in my book. @June's All Day, Austin TX — 9 years ago

Similar tasting notes. Blackberry and Asian spice notes. Full and fruit-forward, maybe a bit extracted. Not as peppery or meaty as last tasting. Maybe losing its edge; maybe a poor bottle. Still solid at $10. — 9 years ago

Smooth and vivid. No aftertaste. Sediment from the cluster adds character, takes nothing away. A fabulous wine 🍷 — 7 years ago

Our evening of Walt Pinots continues with more neighbors at home for family game night. Bob’s ranch was delicious but my least favorite. — 8 years ago

It's election night and this wine has cherries 🍒 but overall it's a light weight with not enough stuffing may be the poor vineyard is catching up with this. (I might have rated this higher in the past). I will try this tomorrow again. +++ Slightly better the next day with added weight and complexity. +++ — 10 years ago

Rich smells of milk chocolate, ripe blackberries brambles and fresh blueberries, with hints of white mushroom, tart cherry, and saltwater taffy. Medium-light weight, deep opaque red with rich oily umami mouthfeel and light red fruits like cherry and plum on the palate, and soft well polished black tea tannins lingering nicely on the finish. Very interesting red, like a poor-mans-Ho-Brion (😉), would probably go well with tomato-cream sauce dishes and grilled meats or great by itself. Great value — 6 years ago

Solid wine! PnP. Dark purple color. Nose has oak and dark cherry. Oak continues to dominate on the palate with blackberry and cedar tones. Solid finish. Surprised modestly to the upside, but did follow a poor wine. — 7 years ago

Big Sonoma Pinot framed by very fine tannins and a bit of heat (14.3% abv). Well made, but poor QPR, and a bit too much ripeness for my tastes. — 7 years ago

This one-off Cuvée from the boutique Robert Craig winery which focuses on mountain appellations in Napa is 50% Spring Mountain CS and 50% Howell Mountain Zinfandel (same juice that goes into the Turley Zin) aged 12 months in French Oak, 35% new. Gentle nose of dark fruits, green and sweet bell pepper, coffee, herbs, slight scent of perfume. Silky and savory on the palate with refreshing acidity. Bitter herbal finish. This wine is supple and delicious. And a hell of a deal at $20! — 9 years ago
