Medium ruby core, garnet rim . More leafy and crunchy cassis, slightly foursquare , cooler slightly mint touches . Crunchy dark fruits on the palate , more tobacco , cedar , grafite notes , fills out on the palate pretty well. Good refreshing acidity , moderate quite fine tannins, slight green notes on the ok length . Good to drink now and probably won’t improve very much , now and over the next 10 years. — 3 years ago
Bought this in 2014 from Lsat Bottle. Should have bought more, it was a steal at the time and it has gotten even better in the last 5 years. Not too acidic, good amount of yeast, and overall excellent sparkling wine. 69% Pinot Noir, 31% Chardonnay — 7 years ago

Enjoyable Cabernet Franc. Nice red and blueberry fruit with green pepper and olive. Earthy with pronounced barnyard, which faded by the second day. Well balanced. Not overly complex. — 8 years ago
Super bright, clear wine, lighter bodied. Wonderful melon, lemongrass, passion fruit and white pepper nose. Green melon, passion fruit, peach, ginger and some herb notes I'm struggling to identify beyond the lemon grass, maybe tomato leaf? Passion fruit comes through nicely on the finish. Really pleased with this one! — 9 years ago
Magnum 1998 Cheval Blanc. Third red for dinner at the house w B&K K, J&L B, and M&R H and BP. Awesome! So much fun to try this Bordeaux after the 2002 Domaine des Lambrays burgundy. This wine felt young, even though older than the Lambrays. A bit tight at first, despite decanting a few hours. Fun contrast of round vegetal and green noted, stronger tannins. Such a treat. Probably the fave of the night. — 10 years ago
Tender, amazing chalk and autolytic notes ... Fresh pear and baked green apple - Devine! — 11 years ago
Excellent on a stand alone basis or in mimosas!! Slight brioche, caramel, butter, and a hint of apricot. Just as good at bottle opening as it was a couple hours later! — 2 years ago
Still young, but definitely earthy and fruity. — 5 years ago
Pop.and pour, 1 hr slow ox. Absolutely crushable. On the nose:.black tea, cardamom, wild strawberry, black cherry compote. On the palate: fantastic acidity, good density, more.black tea and cardamom, with juicy black currant, black pepper, pomegranate seed and a thin line of finely grained tannin. Excellent. — 5 years ago
A full-body Pinot! Deep Ruby with berry aromas, floral and garden spice. On the palate ripe strawberry and dried cherry fruit with vanilla spice and cedar notes. The wine is well structured, silky smooth tannins, balanced acidity carry the wine to a lingering spicy finish. Very Nice! — 7 years ago

Dan Goldfield always said he preferred to drink his Rued Vineyard Chardonnay after 5 years and now I can see why. Everything is balanced and in place. Flowers, lemon peel and touch of vanilla. — 8 years ago
A surprisingly great red - as others have said. A very drinkable wine, but of smokiness to it, bold and quite red fruity. — 9 years ago
Crushable. Great summertime wine. — 10 years ago

Rich and interesting with a little bit of a funk, but still feels elevated. Young wines are good but it does mellow nicely with some aging in bottle. — 7 years ago

Pear and green apple on the nose, almond butter, and caramel glazed toast on the palate. Beautiful. — 10 years ago
About as close to Condrieu as I've seen Cali get. Lots of gardenias and tropicals mixed with a classic peachiness and solid structure. — 10 years ago
