I believe this is my first bottle from the Fort Ross Seaview AVA.

The nose is gorgeous with fresh berries framed by floral, herbal, and earthy elements. On the palate it’s lively yet refined, with juicy raspberry and cranberry leading the way. Soft integrated tannins.

Drinking alongside the Sea Smoke Ten of the same vintage, this beauty certainly stands on its own, and actually offers a deeper and more complex nose. Just a lovely Pinot! — 5 years ago

The nose on this is ethereal & elegant. Fruity notes with some leafy undertones. The palate shows a much bigger frame with rich dark cherry notes and some blueberry character on the back end. Tannins are present, but well balanced and the palate weight gets more elegant with air. — 5 years ago

Bibiana rocks! Aromas of fresh fruit and stems of red roses are followed by a discrete juiciness and silky mouthfeel. Todd has found another superb mentor. — 10 years ago

Fabulously surprising! This wine is one of those warm robust bear humans who wraps you in a hug that doesn’t smother you, it frees you. It’s fresh. Oodles of dark berries and plums plus vanilla and a very herbal earthy thing and something like leather. So very very good. — 5 years ago

Something very clean and elemental about this wine, and something Bordelaise as well, given the depth, lack of California over-ripeness and relative inaccessibility in youth. Not an "easy" wine, but neither is young Lynch Bages. — 8 years ago

All red mountain fruit lovely intensity and elegant bouquet a bit of cf and merlot in the blend both red and black berry fruit with pretty floral notes with dark chocolate and sweet tobacco spice. Very lush and forward fruit here with a nice freshness not a big wine in color or size but had lots of nuance fresh earth and light spice notes this wine needs a bit of time but has all the right pieces in place. Finish 45+. Excellent milk chocolate notes — 11 years ago
