Strong black pepper nose, with blueberry and jasmine. Wonderfully complex on the palate with dancing ripe red currants and blueberries. Amazing and delicious. Slight tannins and long, smooth finish. — 4 years ago
Fort Ross Seaview Bordeaux blend. Old world style. Truffle, cedar & cassis nose. Fresh style on the palate. Drinks more Super Tuscan than Bordeaux. Black currant & tobacco, but loads of fresh acid. Drinks great with a pork ragu & pasta. Definitely one to seek out. — 5 years ago

Fort Ross FRV Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2013: Beautiful ruby-red color. Elegant Balance. Silky tannins. Great acidity. Dark fruit (blackberry, currant, plum). Red fruit (cranberry, cherry, pomegranate). Menthol. Spice. Earth. One of my absolute favorite Sonoma Coast Pinots and a perfect match for today’s #tacotuesday Cheers🍷 — 4 years ago
Clay loved it. Soph liked but not as much as clay but would drink again. — 4 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

Really incredible wine. Not paired with any food, the wine is flavorful, quenching w/ oak flavor adding the right dryness and notes of plum & vanilla to finish - really well balanced and opened well. Bottled was empty far too quickly : ) — 4 years ago
