Been a wine member at Claypool for a bit now and love their wines! This Thorne Ridge is legit- dark cherry skin color. Aromas of underripe cherry, rose petals, raspberry and cedar. Amazing flavors of red underripe fruit with a solid cedar finish. — 6 years ago

Not quite as smooth as the 09 vintage, but very very good. Softened with air and will get even better with some time in the cellar. — 8 years ago

Smoky/spicy nose. Just enough acidity to cut back the fruit. One of my favourite pinots so far. — 9 years ago

I'm quite satisfied with this wine. The smooth combination of fresh fruit flavorers, enhanced by seasoned plums and a hint of passion fruit, help to create a wine that can be enjoyed at many different types of social gatherings. All in all I am suitably impressed with this Shiraz. — 9 years ago

A study and functional heavyweight - bramble on and on. Nice thick mouthfeel with enough articulate acid to be nuanced. Solid value at 13$...Kisela, of course — 6 years ago

As usually happens in life we sometimes have great surprises... this guy is a prime example of that..an increadable value coming out of the great down under. Dark plum acetone and spice to the nose. Slightly sweet plum dark fruit followed by licorice spice pepper to the palate. Nice mouthfeel but a bit watery on the back end. Velvety tannins and a med plus finish. A very enjoyable experience at an amazing value. — 6 years ago

Some petrol on the nose, lime skin and lime pith and lime zest and even more lime on the palate. The alcohol is hidden well here with some bright acidity and a decently long finish. — 9 years ago

Drier and more robust than this winery's Batteau Red but just as good with smoke and warm fruit flavors that linger. #vawine — 9 years ago

Aged for 16 months in 25% new oak barrels, this wine displays all the right notes of that exposure and is not overblown. Only three barrels of this wine were made - some 60 barrels - and it hits 12.9% abv. It is praised as an elegant wine, the kind Pinot Noir lovers love to love. Medium dark, this medium weight wine shows a nose of cola, black tea, orange peel and spices. The palate is smooth and almost silky. The tannins are just enough and the acidity is perfect. Tart berries, tea notes and spice flavors all play in harmony. The wine is smooth without laying down, exciting without being boorish. — 6 years ago

Lots of tiny bubbles with a thick head. Good aroma of cloves, banana and spice. Smooth, balanced mouthfeel with light malt and a bit of hops. The barrel aging brings the flavors together nicely! — 9 years ago
