Bill Bradley straight killing it! Blueberry cedar, cherry compote (Rainer) with a aged light red Rainer cherry acidity it's pure loveliness! It stands up against lightly seasoned sous vide ribeye. Silky but your pursuit of the subtleties will give way to nice tannic grip, but it shows some velvet. Melts the fat and sticks around to shake your hand after. — 10 years ago

Happy Birthday Colton! Was not very impressed by this in the tasting room back in 2013, but we bought it anyway because it had just gone #2 on the Spectator top 100. Three years later and I am glad we picked it up!! Pretty ruby color in the glass. Silky smooth, with a light mouth feel and good acid. Classic Pinot red fruits, especially strawberry and Rainer cherry. Actually preferred it served a little cool. — 10 years ago
