Vintage is 2011. 85% Montepulciano, 15% Aglianico. Dark plummy fruit, black fruit, black tea, almost tree bark. V nice! — 11 years ago
2005 vintage. Lemon rind, chamomile, tea leaf, with a very pure expression of fruit and showing great acidity. This is viscous in mouth, but not heavy, finishes with persistent lime/lemon notes, almost herbaceous, but more in the lemon leaf realm, tea tree oil or balsam, rather the Sauv. blanc descriptors. Drinks like its not older than 3 yrs. old! — 11 years ago
This has a very cool-climate-feel to it, yet showes a clear Australian footprint. Cassis, grilled pepper, sandalwood, mint, tea tree?, ferrous minerality, resinous oak. Seems more Cab Franc than Sauv at the moment.
Really dig those classic High-End Ozzy Cabs like Penfolds' 707, Moss Wood CS and this one. Appreciate your suggestions in this direction. So, keep them coming..! — 10 years ago
Gentle, yet complex nose: overripe raspberry, tea leaf, tree sap, garden herbs, rose pedals. Cherries linger on the palate with hints of green olives into a juicy, linear finish of bright red fruit. Slight bit of heat on the backend. Drink now or over the next 3 years. — 11 years ago

More oxy. Tea tree oil. Wow — 10 years ago
Great acid with dark red fruits with notes of herbal tea leaves and earthy spices. #pinotdays #pinotparadise #andersonvalley — 11 years ago
Primarily raisins at the start but came alive, drinking wonderfully now. What a treat, nutmeg, green herbs , tree bark, white tea, autumn leaves. Palate is incredible, round, bright & fresh, feels like it's going in different directions but there is a togetherness about it. Impressive but wouldn't have guessed PN. Comments such as amaro and amarone. Cool juice. — 12 years ago

Tea tree oil, licorice, soy sauce, leather, craisins, and a dozen more. Tasting history here. Clearly this kinda wine needs maturity. #maturewine #mowine #norton — 10 years ago
