2010 Tyler Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard. Drank at Tortilla R w K after our trail run. Was really delicious. Drank it slightly cold which was nice on such a hot day. — 11 years ago

What merlot should be. Black and brooding, this monster needs some air time to show. No apparent loss in 10 years. Black fruit and cedar with some herbals hints with mineral. A complete wine. Could make a strong run at being a Pomerol in a ripe year. Cannot recommend highly enough. Especially if you find it at a good price. — 12 years ago
Tawny rim, lovely perfume. Great rendition of a southern Rhone style - Grenache Shiraz Mataro Cinsault. Full and concentrated even at 9 years. Delicious jubey flavours. Losing a half point for an overly heavy bottle. 18. — 10 years ago
One of my favs - local VA wine at it's best. Buttery with a hint of coconut. Perfect for drinking outside on a hot day.

Scoring big this evening, as this Calistoga 100% merlot is a spice fest for one's nose reminding me of an early morning forest run, breaking out into a fresh meadow, where I scoop up a handful of blue an black berries and engage. Very cool! Buy this wine!! Also, the fresh, raw kale Ceasar at Il Palio is right-on..:)!
