Well, classé is a goal to strive for in NOLA, key word here being goal. The expectations in this city are low though. Tasty blend with a beautiful color. — 10 years ago

Solid start to finish. More savory than floral. Good acid and concentration. More American pinks should strive for this sort of depth. — 10 years ago

I've fallen in love with the 2013 vintage. It's charming, aromatic, ethereal, elegant and straight-up delicious. The wines are remarkably different from 2012, which speaks to the complexities of farming in a mutable climate, so close to the Pacific Ocean. Real wine is transparent to the place where it was grown, but also to the vintage. We strive to produce wines that reflect the best qualities of the year in which the grapes were grown. In this way they become historical, agricultural documents that can transport us to a singular place and time. — 10 years ago

Sneak peek at 2014 vintage just released. Bone dry, with fruit more savory than sweet. Spicy lychee, a touch of apricot and an underlying minerality. As always, Mike, Anne & Rene strive for balance in fruit, acidity and minerality. #Ilovemyjob — 11 years ago

Every Pinot should strive for this level of perfection. Bright and fruit-forward without being jammy or being reminiscent of dried fruits, as Pinot this big tend towards. Perfectly balanced, this wine paired beautifully with boar, duck, filet, and held its own alone. Incredibly smooth. Not a single note of acidity or tannins. — 10 years ago

Spicy, dry, balanced, like a mouthful of seeds from straw, black, and ras berries - #notjammy. How #zinfandel can and I feel should always strive to be. Had this vintage 2 years ago with Mrs Dashe herself. It's become much more rustic and spicy with the extra age, and def a lot better than I remember it being. #maturewine #drycreekvalley — 11 years ago
