Down the middle. Smooth but lacking any unique punch. Similar in price to Ridge Geyserville, I would buy the Ridge if made to choose — 2 years ago
Fruity and Smokey on the nose and a nice buttery finish. — 3 years ago

Moving fuel. 42 year old Tempranillo and a uniquely American delicacy to celebrate Independence Day 🧀 🇺🇸 I’m unpacking boxes and listening to the Padres vs Dodgers so other than the wine I’m full throttle Americana today. The Vina Todonia cork dropped in to the bottle immediately upon contact from the Durand so I was not hopeful....but it’s totally intact and it presents with significant bricking in the decanter with expected brown and red tones and is chock full of secondary notes of burnt fig, savory smoke, cigar and soil. Soft tannins and waning acidity but it seems to be putting on “weight” as the afternoon progresses. Another solid showing from this producer at an advanced age. Great stuff. Happy 4th of July to all!! 🍎 ⚾️ 🍷 ☀️ — 5 years ago
Wow!!!! Super Pinot noir! — 6 years ago
Light vanilla/oak on the nose, hint of baking spices, raspberry/cherry fruit forward on the palate with just a bit of peppery spice, lightly sweet but in a nice floral way that keeps it from being cloying. — 6 months ago

Berries. Lots of berries — 6 years ago
Interesting profile: dried cherries, granny smith, cedar box, with a hint of a big red wine (AUS Shiraz, etc.). Not a lot of carbonation, would have liked to have opened a bottle a year ago to see what role aging has played (bottled 1/16/15). — 6 years ago
Big bold dark fruits plums and blackberries up front. Bold but creamy. Undertones of chocolate and tannins. Long and lush. Layers and complex. — 2 years ago
Super drinkable. Smooth. Good aftertaste. Tasty — 3 years ago
Black Cherry and Blackberry flavors from the Cabernet Sauvignon pair with the vanilla, brown sugar and toasty oak of the bourbon barrel aging to produce some pretty good yum!! — 3 years ago
