Bright scarlet, thin/translucent. Fun nose, with a fruit bias. Notes of ripe red cherries, smoked meat, dark soil, some kirsch and some tart cranberries. Light and some pucker in the mouth. A decent bottle from the Bicyclette list. — 5 years ago

Scarlet tawny, similar in color and depth with the 99 Delas Hermitage sitting next to it. With enough air this shows as rich and flamboyant in the nose. Notes of ripe black cherries, rose petals, spice and moist earth. Powerful yet graceful on the mouth. Has great impact. It’s in what is likely a long and rewarding drinking window. — 6 years ago

Dark tawny with some scarlet. Almost opaque. Fruit forward nose. Notes of ripe bing cherries, sandalwood, flowers and ripe rhubarb. Rich fruit in the mouth balanced against some big shoulder structure. This was flabby at first, fruity and hot (representative of the vintage)... but with air everything came together. A nice surprise. Still young but enjoyable if you give it a ton of air. — 6 years ago

9.5

Dark purple plum skin color from center to the rim’s edge where some scarlet also appears. Opaque. Great fruit forward nose that grabs your attention. Notes of blackberries, ripe plums, violets, tobacco, forest floor and some crushed walnuts. Rich and silky in the mouth. Great balance and texture. Tannins perfectly integrated. Long finish. If a Cal Cab can be seductive, this is it. Still youthful but in a great zone tonight. — 7 years ago

9.3

Deep dark scarlet, almost opaque. Ripe bing cherries in the nose, with rhubarb, spice, wood and wet soil notes. Still very primary in the mouth, with a nice core of fruit. Good backbone and finish. Has great balance. Needs time. — 8 years ago

Scarlet violet glass with scarlet violet translucent rim. Pretty, light nose of cedar, earth, vanilla, blackberry, cherry, raspberry, and hints of tobacco. Light body brings mild acidic tartness of cherry, strawberry and raspberry. Finishes short to medium due to tiny tannins with an ending cedar/oak note. Good balance, structure and value at $19.99 USD. Easy recommendation for a good light sipper! — 9 years ago

Amazing Cab with nice dark scarlet color. Silky with hints of that Rutherford "dust" to it as well. Decanted for an hour and it continued to get deeper in layers. Nice job by Saunters Vineyard — 11 years ago

8.9

Deep scarlet in color because of the extra amount of Pinot Noir with plenty of tiny bubbles. A wild nose of black and red berries mixed with blood orange, cinnamon, and herbs de Provence. This is an intense champagne and it doesn’t skimp on complexity either. Drinking more like a red wine at times, there’s an almost rusticity at first but soon evolves into a more structured and elegant pour. The brioche and roasted nuts are still here on the mid palate, along with warm Eastern spices. Creamy on the palate with blackberries, strawberries, and herbs. This was such a fun unconventional sparkler. — 5 years ago

9.7

Dark scarlet with some amber in the rims. Almost opaque. Huge nose right out of the gate. Notes of plum, mocha, leather, cranberries, hickory, some brown sugar and a little mint. Big and bold in the mouth. Amazing perfume late into the evening. Boyz guessed 82 Bordeaux. The other WOTN for some. (Bday dinner 10/13) — 6 years ago

Road trips deserve respites. Beaufort, SC’s Old Bull Tavern spinning Marvin, Jimmi, and Stevie while casually offering up perfect garlicky oil bathed snails set upon crazy freshly baked chewy sour dough simply screams for, oh yeah, the wine. This fine Pomerol waits, wanting , her dangerously dark scarlet skin shimmers as she spins in the early evening tempted by the tunes revealing her marooning shades, darker bleeding berries, showing lighter in the wafting inconsistency of candle light. Another spin , a tilt, a voyeur’s gaze, a twirl, and a first kiss’ earthy wet spice on the front succumbs to plum its well-balanced acid clutches begging another spin, The I sip slow seductive deep kiss as she floods forward - I swallow, but she clings slowly, gradually, teetering touching sliding slowly, stealthy, soothingly, seductively signaling - have another hit... Don’t miss this wine or place, both picture perfect dripping southern edge and charm with a French accent and kiss🍷🌀 — 7 years ago

Dark scarlet. Barely translucent. Nice nose with notes of smoky fruit, cassis, hickory, and a little dark chocolate. Round in the mouth, the tannins are nicely integrated. Fruit is a bit faded. Good wine with rich Italian food. — 8 years ago

9.2

Deep scarlet violet glass with translucent scarlet rim. Medium nose of blackberry jam, clove, eucalyptus against a subtle background of dry tobacco and leather. Medium full bodied tart acid hit to the palate of dark fruits, pepper and cocoa. Finishes long with big soft chalky tannins. Well balanced wine with good structure. At $37.99 USD, a little dear but still good for the occasional splurge or accompaniment to your rich dish. — 9 years ago

Delicious! Scarlet Letter “A” blend of Zin, Syrah, Petite Syrah, Cab and Merlot. Deep purple color. Aromas of dried violets, red, black and blue berries and a baking spice finish. Toasty oak and berries on the palate. — 6 years ago

Bright tawny, opaque center with clear scarlet rims. Nose of ripe cherries, wood, moist soil and a little candied fruit. Huge mouth feel. Powerful wine. Fruit and structure match each other, both intense. This needs time and could be special in the future. — 6 years ago

Dark scarlet center with clear rims. Almost opaque. Wonderful fragrant nose. Notes of blue fruit, earth, violets, minerals, and some menthol. Meaty. Velvet glove in the mouth. Soft rich fruit with a nice balance of acidity that prolongs the finish. Was open for business immediately. RIP Mr Clape and thank you for this. — 7 years ago

Dark scarlet color showing a little age. Aromatic, animalistic nose with notes of black cherry, blueberries, a little menthol and some cold slate stone. Rich in the mouth with nicely integrated tannins. Ok finish. The funk in the nose is the memorable takeaway. — 8 years ago
