Wow! Still bright, chalky, and full of youthful grip. Red plum, raspberry, lichee and white pepper notes are most dominant. This could easily go another few years and not be at its peak. — 5 years ago

Dinner with friends, prior notes still apply.

A Burgundy bin end theme for my bottles tonight, all are the last stock of the wines that have given us great pleasure in the prior 12-18mo. They will be missed, but not forgotten, new vintages will come eventually. 🤩 — 5 years ago

This wine is in a GOOD spot right now. CT Average of about 93, and I'd say that this is about right. 93-95 as this one still has probably 7-8 years before it is pop and pour. Acidic at the opening, but the patience (which we didn't have) would have served us well. Cabernet power from the front. Blackberry preserves, hint of mint, white pepper, hint of clove, middle that goes a little bit herbal, but still very considerable black fruit. Finishes strong, with pepper, spice. I know the last 750 I have is in danger, and hopefully I can also lay off the mag for at least a couple of years. — 7 years ago

Great suave texture with black fruit. Linear structure. Not really like a TRB wine, stylistically. Give 3-4 years. Needs a good amount of air. A really impressive first release. — 8 years ago

Very bold aroma and immediately crisp mouthfeel. Intense flavor on the tongue. Wonderful fruitiness on finish. Perfect for summer. — 9 years ago

with props to Zack at Flatiron Wines: yes, eminently drinkable and characterful Pinot from South Africa (!!!???) exists. (!!!) At a gentle price point to boot. — 10 years ago
