Drinking like a French Pinot, the bouquet is evocative of cherries, strawberries, tea, forest floor, and crushed crushed flower, while the pallet shines with black cherry, tea, hints of cinnamon and allspice, and earth. A consummate exemplar of Willamette Valley. Get 1 of the 200 cases while you can. — 9 years ago
Here is what Wine Spectator says about this wine. One of the more endowed 2009s, this is packed with dark smoldering cocoa, mesquite, tobacco and roasted fig notes, all inlaid with pure cassis and plum preserves fruit flavors. Long and authoritative on the finish, with singed vanilla bean and tar notes adding length and dimension. Not sure I could have come up with all of these descriptors but a beautiful wine in my opinion. — 9 years ago
Just enjoyed a glass of one of the last bottles known to exist...This wine has been sold out for months but it was being poured at a Grenache Day celebration tonight...It will long be remembered as one of my favorite roses...Farewell my friend...The remaining few bottles will be poured at the girl & the fig restaurant this weekend until every last drop is consumed...Come get a final splash before its all gone... — 10 years ago
1976 was almost fluorescent orange on release so many years ago now. Today it still has that telltale orange gleam but it's developed so beautifully. Orange peal, fig, honey, earth, mango, hazelnut, and on and on. 375ml still very fresh. Impressive. — 11 years ago
Dried Fig, cherry, smooth with more pronounced tannins. Very well balanced, dry Bordeaux style. — 11 years ago
I'm not a Pinot Noir lover, probably because they cost too much for a good one, but received this as a gift and really liked it. — 9 years ago
Still drinks super young. Taking it's time to open up. Lots of fruit and even more tannin to back it up. — 9 years ago
Nice concentrated fruit- dried fig, cherry, tobacco, and leather. Amazing producer, great value — 9 years ago
Classic Gran Reserva. Nose is leather and oak. Complex in the mouth with leather, oak, clove, cinnamon, tobacco, fig and a hint of blue cheese. It finishes with more oak, medium acid and chewy tannins. A lovely dark, blood red color to boot. At a meal, this is the main course. Me gusta. — 10 years ago
A mouthfull of yellow grapefruit with lovely acidity, minerality and a citrus peel finish. Fantastic! Year in year out this wine is a classic — 11 years ago
