Big, dark, and rich Pinot. A lot of cherry cola flavor going on here. — 7 years ago
Nice red, black fruit and cola notes. Savory herbs and organic earth mid-palate and on the finish. High alcohol takes it out of balance a bit. Needs time. — 10 years ago
Exactly what you expect from a blend like this. Very new world drinkable on its own. I would bring this to a party. Very low acid and big juicy berries. Not very dynamic of complex however. — 10 years ago
Nice citrus taste. Strong taste but not overpowering on the finish. — 12 years ago
Sette Ponti or "seven bridges," refers to 7 bridges crossing the Arno River on the road from Arezzo to Florence. Blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cab Sauv & 10% Petit Verdot, aged 18 months in new French oak. Very dark Ruby with pronounced aromas of dark fruits, cigar box & earthy notes, touch of floral citrus. Flavors of black cherry & blackberry with tobacco & spice. Fine tight tannins, long finish ending with cacao, tobacco & mineral spice as the finish builds. Decant now! Will continue to age! — 4 years ago
Had Gary Farrell a few times prior and thoroughly enjoy. Light color, blueberry and modest cherry on nose and palate. Like the fact that this is slightly lower alcohol level. Reminds me a bit of an Oregon PN because of the light color, tannins, and easy drinking. — 5 years ago
Wow! This was drinking splendidly at nearly 10. Layers of dark red fruit like cassis and ripe blackberry on laters of sweet herbs like sassafras on enough acidity to keep things lively. — 6 years ago

Light nose but lots on pallet - fruit spice layers - smooth finish and great all around.

Orange wine. Similar to rose as far as grape skin contact except this sits longer on the skins. Really well bodied and delicious — 9 years ago
A bit oaky on day 1, better on day 2 and even better on day 3. — 10 years ago
Restaurant had half off wine and let me get this one. Long finish that goes on for days..... Great opportunity to try a great wine! — 10 years ago
I love this producer. This particular 2012 vintage was good but not spectacular on their scale of excellence. Leather, pepper, bacon, red cherry. Could use a few years to start showing some secondary flavors. — 11 years ago
Very dark Ruby in colour, particularly for a 20 year old red wine. Classic Margaret River Cabernet from a great vintage. Herbaceous with mulberry and dark berry aromas. Cedary. Dense on the palate - gorgeous mouth feel - Barb said viscous. Tannins largely resolved. As good as 20 year old Australian Cabernet gets and it would go on for another 5 to 10 years. Wish I had more. 93% Cabernet Sauvignon; 3% Cabernet Franc; 4% Petit Verdot. — 4 years ago
Strawberry on palate and nose. — 5 years ago
Purchased at winery and stored in a controlled wine cellar. Most reviews here are a bit young, this wine is now hitting its stride but could also benefit from another 1-2 years. Some call this a California Grand Cru while some call it overrated. I love Burgundy and would say this drinks on par with mid to low tier Grand Crus in my opinion. Sweet and rich yes, but balanced with bright acid and structure. It has an impressive nose of rose, black cherry and vanilla but with an earthy herb quality that reminds me of great burgundy. More air reveals attractive grilled herbs and stem qualities. The palate is intense and rich with cherry and raspberry, powerful but silky verging on velvety texture and a long finish with a signature WS acid profile. There is a lot of oak but with this fruit and bottle age it is lovely....DRC uses even more oak so it’s not a sin with the right wine! — 6 years ago

We had the 2012 Vintage on 12/28-29/16. What a great chard with tastes of Meyer lemon, pineapple and vanilla. Smooth finish with no bite. — 9 years ago
Very good. But not what I would have thought for a Sonoma coast. Can't put my finger on it - nose was great. But a little flat on the tongue. Sunday night - football, pizza and Merry. — 10 years ago
Very approachable at this time. Dark purple in color. Light on the tannins almost sweet with its fruitiness. Great with the jambalaya. — 10 years ago

Nose of oyster mushroom, water chestnut, and white peach. At PnP tastes of herbal green notes, but opened over time into unctuous deliciousness. Tastes of red grapefruit, toasted coconut, butterscotch candy. Absolutely layered complexity. Even greater on day 2. — 4 years ago
