Pretty hot and slightly disjointed. Saved by RR fruit profile and long finish. Not amazing for the price. — 10 years ago
Ahhhh-mazing RR Pinot, light and lovely. Brining home all the flavors indicative of the region but so well balanced compared to many neighbors. — 10 years ago

LONGING FOR THE SOUTH
Yesterday I drank this very nice Macedonian semi-dry T'ga za Jug red wine.
The wine is made of the native grape variety Vranec. It has an intense red color, and the distinctive taste of raisins and raspberries, which make it a nice sweet treat (hence: semi-dry).
The wine is named after the poem ‘Taga za Yug’ of the Bulgarian poet Konstantin Miladinov (1830–1862), one of the Miladinov brothers, who originate from Ottoman Macedonia. Both brothers are thought to have laid the foundation of the Macedonian literary tradition.
‘Taga za Yug’ means ‘longing for the South’ (el anhelo por el Sur): "If I had an eagle's wings, I would rise and fly on them to our shores, to our own parts [...] Here are frost and snow and ashes, blizzards and harsh winds abound [...] There the sunrise warms the soul".
When it is cold outside, and fiercely raining, I can assure you that it makes you long for the sun that warms the soul. Drinking the T'ga za Jug wine in good company and nice surroundings makes for a wonderful or sometimes even better alternative.

Great RR Pinot. — 10 years ago
Animalistic nose. Crazy nose. Dark and opaque in the glass. Rich and palate staining in the mouth. Really good for a base level C-R. What a great year for RR. — 11 years ago

Mike Officer wanted to create a blend that represents the 3 unique old vine vineyards in the Piner-Olivet crossing of the Russian River Valley. This is the first vintage and what a success. This is just insanely good and represents everything there is to love in RR zin. A field blend of everything from all 3 vineyards it’s rich and lush, full of black fruits but balanced by acidity and never heavy and not clocking above 15%. A real show of great terroir, old vines, and fine winemaking. — 8 years ago
Bolder than expected, berries and just the slightest wood. 2012 — 9 years ago
Buen equilibrio entre frutos rojos maduros y tostados. Final no muy largo pero agradable. Muy recomendable para todos gustos.

Could be a Burgundy! Round, well balanced, abricots and white flowers. Honest. What you smell is what you taste. Caudalie: 8 - whow — 10 years ago
Lots of fruit and fairly tannic at first. Decanting it helped. Nice and about what was expected from a good RR pinot. — 11 years ago
Amazing fresh berries in nose
. Ethereal perfume too. Great representation of RR Pinot. It's why we love this grape.
