A luscious promise in a bottle, rich, boldly aromatic and loaded for bear with cocoa powder and oaky tannins. It tasted like the early morning earth smelled on my last bike ride through Yountville flats. So primary, like just bottled. May be as good as the Pedregal of '08 but we won't know for 5+ years. — 8 years ago

Insane nose, smelled of underripe fruits (not in an unpleasant way) and rhubarb and strawberry.. Good amounts of color. Had lots of life left (tons of acidity and fruit) and was probably opened five years early. Thought this wine had the most forward looking promise of them all tonight. — 9 years ago

This was nice but nowhere near as good as the price. Had a 50 dollar cab blend next to this and there wasn't much difference. — 9 years ago

Cherry and tar with strong tannins and minerality. It's a little early to open this one yet, but had this with a veal chop that really helped the wine show the potential and promise. — 10 years ago

A near perfect rosé at a great price. I prefer this soft fruit tempered by a light floral note all properly and proportionately positioned against a mineral intensive rocky bottom as swift waters twist and turn their way downstream leaving one's palate clean and refreshed but laced with the memory of the moment😎🌀 - buy the magnum at my favorite local Morehead City, NC hang - Promise Land Market (thx sweet Janeen and Daniel for spinning some crazy sweet tunage!)! Find this place in all its realness, and drink this wine! — 10 years ago

Tonight I am going with another Pinot Noir. I feel I am getting into a Pinot rut so this I promise will be it for a little while, but what can I say, I love me some Pinot. Well the nose comes on with good notes of black cherry, cranberry, allspice, clove, earthiness and floral notes of lilac. On the palate the black cherry comes through with notes of pomegranate, good tannins with green vegital notes, oak which all blends together very well in a full mouth feel. — 11 years ago

exuberant full throttle classy citrus fruit bursting with juiciness but wrapped with finesse and acidity, a great champagne still young and full of promise for the future, but great now. Super even for a 96. — 10 years ago

Tarry and showing cool aromatics with bay leaf infused bead stock additions, this is spicy and blackberry tinged. Medium(+)bodied and fresh with dry tannins and an herbaceous twist complementing its red a dark fruit profile. Seductive finish where great structure promise this amazing value to cruise another 6-8 without problem. Lovely Crozes-Hermitage interpretation. — 10 years ago

Together with 2010, this infant shows great promise for the future, thanks to its sincere structure and polished fruit flavors. Usually, not my favourite producer but here they hit the jackpot. — 11 years ago
