Glad we waited until 2018 to open this 2010. Probably should have waited another 5 yrs or so. Sweet elagic tannins a bit overly pronounced, but just starting to integrate. For the coldest vintage we’ve had in the NW in decades, this shows ripe yet restrained character, chalky cocoa tannins, brambley black raspberry, cassis, blackstrap molasses, pipe tobacco, hint of anise. I can only imagine the hangtime for 14.8% abv in 2010, but it didn’t stick out and added to the structure. One of the best Sineann wines I’ve tasted. — 7 years ago

A deft balance with dried cherries and black currant skins being strongly present but not overdone. Beautiful. — 9 years ago

Licorice, mysterious roots, stewed walnut shell, and black currant. At first open, this was really shouty, but an hour of breathing made it quite happy. Yes, this is high alcohol, but it shows very nicely (particularly with age), and was a great pair with our carne asada and charred corn tacos. — 8 years ago

Not sure what it is about an August summer night and the Terra Sancta Pinot, but it was almost a year ago to the day I opened my last bottle. This is a NZ Central Otaga wine. Still drinking strong. Bright red fruits, berries, plenty of finesse and balance and a tasty long finish. Tip o' the hat to winemaker / owner Peter Rosback. — 7 years ago
Undetermined sweet fruits on the nose, which turn out to be apricot and pineapple when tasted. Delicious, and a great buy at $10. — 7 years ago
Peach, pear, melon, fruity, semi dry. Very good. — 8 years ago
Tannic grip, velvet yet not too soft. Probably keep nicely. — 9 years ago
My absolute favorite Pinot Noir! I may be causing Californians to jump up in arms but for me full bodied Burgundy just doesn't have much appeal. This is an Oregon Pinot that is lighter bodied and fruitful. Perfect for sipping or pairing with food. It is my favorite because of its dual use as a sipper or a food match. Versatile and lovely and time of year. Absolutely my go-to wine for serving to women, they love it...every time it is served....and I usually serve it unannounced and wait for their reaction before revealing the winery or varietal. The 2014 is highly, highly recommended if you can still find it.. — 9 years ago

A nice mouthful of fruit, a hint of chocolate, and an all-around fun cab to drink. — 6 years ago
