Everyone could say it must be Burgundy! It’s a footprint of california-made wine that a faint oak vanillas. Cherry, cranberry, very elegant aromas and flavors. — 7 years ago

Poured side by side with the clos des Papes. It was equally as stunning. 2003 vintage. — 10 years ago

This is a serious bottle of Syrah, and a generous bottle of juice. 5 years have done this bottle well, stripped away the cloak and revealed a cultured, experienced character. The nose was complex, showing Rhone traits, and the smell of a wet Washington day in the forrest, stewed cherries, strawberry-rubarb jam, game, hints of clove and nutmeg, and provancal herbs. The color was just right, becoming garnet like, but still youthful. The pallet was filled with tightly knit layers of dried cherries, cocoa, and nutmeg, finishing smoothly, with a gradual decrescendo of intensity. Definitely on its plateau, and beginning it's decent during the next few years. Can't wait to try the 2011.

I usually really enjoy this Sonona Coast bottling, but when drank side by side with the single vineyard wines, it pales in comparison. — 11 years ago

Ha! The comments on this wine are amazingly varied. I found it very overt on a chocolate tip, and more robust on the fruit side than your usual PINOT...but I really enjoyed it, would buy again.... — 7 years ago

When it comes to my B-day, there is only one fit, an old Pichon Lalande with my Ribeye. As a lover of Bordeaux, these two are my favorite pairing. It’s a very slow walk to the finishline. A small bite of steak and a sip of 89 Pichon Lalande. Then, repeat until finished. I had some concerns about this bottle. A slightly slippery and crumbling cork. The first sip was not bad, but not what you want or are expecting. After some time in the decanter, it really started to shine. On the nose; ripe, ruby, floral cassis, blackberries, dark sweet & sour cherries, baked strawberries, blue fruit hues, dry cranberries, baked rhubarb, saddlewood, soft, used leather, bay leaf, touch of sage, hint of spearmint, eucalyptus, vanilla, cinnamon, crushed dry crushed rock powder, black turned earth, dry brown soil with clay, tobacco leaf and perfumed red florals with violets. The body is full, round and silky. Tannins are well resolved at around 80%. The texture, length, tension and length are in a sweet spot. The fruits are ripe, ruby & expressively floral. Blackberries, dark sweet & sour cherries, baked strawberries, blue fruit hues, dry cranberries, baked rhubarb, saddlewood, soft, used leather, bay leaf, touch of sage, hint of spearmint, eucalyptus, vanilla, cinnamon, crushed dry crushed rock powder, black turned earth, dry brown soil with clay, scorched earth, tobacco leaf and perfumed red florals with violets. The acidity is just a little off but still nice. The finish is divided nearly equally in fruit, earth, florals and herbaceous. It’s very enjoyable but falls just a little short in longer, lingering length. This bottle had good storage, not great. Even so, still has another three to five years ahead. A bottle with excellent storage has another five years beyond this one. Photos of; the backside of Pichon Lalande, angled terrace view of their vines right next to Latour, my steak & twice baked potato (so good) and CEO Nicolas Glumineau. — 8 years ago

It's a 2000 that I'm drinking on the other side of peak. Decanted like I've not decanted before. It got there, though. Delicious. — 10 years ago

Had the 2013 a while back, and I gotta say the 2014 is slammin'. Well balanced, quenchy, stone fruity, zesty. The force is strong for GB in Oregon. — 11 years ago

It's on the sweeter side. It's great for aperitif or tapas. I think it will also work with desserts. — 11 years ago
