Red fruits, violets on the nose, medium body, great young pino qualities with oak, pleasant smooth finish. — 8 years ago
This is a VERY pleasant surprise (at first pass, I was not sure I would love this but it really opened up). Bought this from the Secret wine fridge at FLX Wienery. After being closed off for many years, this baby needed to breathe. It's from The Rocks before it was known as "The Rocks." The funk is mostly blown off. The power is still there on the finish--which is elegant and long. The fruit is still present with conflicting red and blue fruit--esp. prevalent is dried raspberry and blackberry. The pepper is still present. The tannins are still powering through 17 years later. — 9 years ago
Iron fist with a velvet glove. The vigneron's location gives it away so well. Romantic and serene. — 10 years ago
Beautiful color, cool looking bottle, nice fruit, love it! — 10 years ago
Incredible dark fruit, minerals, and a menthol accent, and still youthful with vibrant acidity and ample velvet tannin come together in a stunning blend of grace and power that begs for serene contemplation. — 11 years ago

This is a spectacular Pinot Noir.....WOW!!! — 7 years ago
Drank with BBQ at dad’s in Enid while packing wine cellar for move. Dark, slightly rich blueberry, blackberry. Spice although it could be the bbq. Very smooth. A little lighter on the medium-length finish than I remember. May be trending down with age. Very good wine. — 7 years ago

Oak. Butter. Toffee. Nice acid and finish — 9 years ago
After reading the reviews, I decanted the wine for about 45 minutes. This is what I love in Oregon Pinot noir: raspberries, ease of drinking, pairs well with a light meal of pasta or fish. The bottle disappeared fast. I knew I should have brought the magnum to dinner! — 10 years ago

Beautiful and serene. Reminiscent of the Amalfi Coast, resplendent with lemons the size of one's head, looking out over the Tyrrhenian Sea and inhaling the salty air. There is a little grassiness, also, bringing this wine back down to earth from its lofty perch. Wine Gallery. — 10 years ago

Austerity Requires Patience...Rich and Elegant with Notes of Black Cherry, Licorice & Cocoa — 11 years ago
Slight floral quality to the edgy sweetness and gorgeous black fruit. I suspect some co-fermentation here (Viognier). Lovely, lively, and lithe on the palate. Plenty of acids here, so this will pair with nearly any meats. Just to reiterate, this is not your typical Paso syrah (no offense), but an elegant rendition of the grape. — 11 years ago
