Surprising, the Pinot Noir from this region is unique, spicy and well balanced. I like it I would buy more — 10 years ago

Notes of Liquorice and white pepper. Medium weight at best but this is a wine style I enjoy. Similar to Bests 2011 Bin 1 which won the Jimmy Watson trophy. Langhi Ghiran and Clonakilla supercede the St Joseph in the same genre. 17.5. — 10 years ago

A plush delicious Pinot in the cult Tassie area of d'Entrecasteaux peninsula for Pinot near Home Hill who won the2015 Jimmy Watson trophy. Cherry nuances. A crowd pleaser. — 10 years ago

What better way to press 2015 Watson Ranch Chardonnay at Arnot-Roberts then to smash a magnum of Moreau-Naudet!? — 10 years ago

A really attractive, beautifully balanced, smooth and seamless wine. Jimmy Watson trophy winner from a vintage where none of the Bests flagship wines where made leaving the Bin 1 as the beneficiary of all of the old vine fruit. — 10 years ago

First, when I'm drinking at home, I am always going to choose "dumpster next to 6629" as my location. Second, pretty good with some good spice. I am going to save some for Sunday and see if a couple of days makes it even better. Thanks for that tip Paul Watson. — 10 years ago

Sedimentary, my dear Watson! A lean and mean Syrah/Tannat blend with rich dark fruit and spice on the nose, leanness and a sturdy backbone of acidity on the palate ...and most definitely unfiltered. — 10 years ago

The previous vintage won best Pinot at the Melb wine show RNA. Should have won the Jimmy Watson won by another Pinot. Fresh bright fruit nose - cherries, some pepper/spices, rose perfume. Medium weight, silky. Delicious. 17.5+. — 11 years ago

Solid core of acidity surrounded by lemon-honey flavors. More flesh than extreme south Napa Chards a la Watson Ranch (as one would expect). Lovely wine. — 11 years ago

Carmel Valley (Central Coast) has been a favorite destination for my wine adventures. Joullian has been a staple there for 25 years--winemaker Ridge Watson included. Their 2007 (silver at the SF wine comp) lacked that cab kick. — 13 years ago
