We love Plumpy. Lovely texture and mouthfeel. Nice long finish, and not overly sweet. Nice dark fruit profile, with a nifty acidic presence, complemented with balsamic notes, and black tea. Not the over-the-top Napa fruit-bomb. Probably at its zenith now. Drink up, or else... — 8 years ago

Sublime. Initially, it's difficult for me to say whether this wine sees oak, but I love it because of that.
On the nose, I detect nuts, toast and a hint of barrel toast. The palette is completely delineated. Nectarines and tense citrus fruits are evident. The wine has a wonderfully light mouthfeel. Acidity is still bright, and the finish just keeps going. At its zenith now, but should continue to evolve for another 5 - 7 years or so. — 9 years ago

If I could rate this one 11, I would...
In Dutch:
“In your face” neus: een explosie van geroosterde noten, amandel, hars, een kruidenkabinet vol, citrusschil, zeezout. Hier kan je uren aan ruiken en altijd komt er iets nieuws bij. Boenwas, wierook, houtoven. Naarmate de wijn wat opwarmt komen nog meer zilte tonen boven: zeewier, strand… Intense smaakbom op de tong die aanvangt met uitgesproken ziltigheid, daarna prikkelende kruidigheid en rokerigheid. Is dit droog? Niet echt. Is dit zoet? Niet echt. Dit is perfect in evenwicht. De afdronk duurt minuten. “Amontillado at its brillant zenith”. Kippenvel en een eerbiedige stilte zijn hier het gevolg van. — 9 years ago

Cinnamon and spice box on the palette. Very well behaved in the glass. Great textured finished with 14.5% alcohol!! Great Napa example... — 10 years ago

My favorite of a spectacular profile tasting this evening of St. Innocent wines. Shea, Zenith, Momtazi and Vitae Springs all great and distinctly different in 2011, 2010. Showed a melange of red and black berries with elegant but persistent spice, great aromatics and racy acids. — 12 years ago

Tight at first then it opened up beautifully. Big bright and still fresh cherries. Nice acidity and still hasn't reached its zenith. Notes of tobacco. Scratchy tannins and long arid finish — 8 years ago

This feels like it is at its zenith - black cherry and a little red currant zing, but the fleshy side of the fruit, not at all promiscuous. Very old world. — 8 years ago

The nose is quite volatile with a heavy dose of paint thinners (as we say in England), crisp green apples, pear drops and earth.

The palette has notes of saline, fresh apples and a nice gentle sweetness. The acid is soft at this point, so I consider this wine to be at its zenith. If you have em, drink them up. — 9 years ago

SOLID bottle of wine. VERY impressed by this one. This wine was true embodiment of Napa cab at 12 years old. Dense, full bodied blackberry fruit on the front with a hint of eucalyptus, with a slightly "blue" tone. The entry of this wine was rather massive and tasted like this one was 3 years old. The middle of this wine had some fig and black fruit, and finished with a dominant pepper note. I heard Shay talk about this one for a little while, and was very honored to share this one with you. I was extremely impressed at how youthful this one drank, and seems to have a good 5-7 years ahead of it. I think zenith is probably 2020-2021. — 8 years ago

This wine is so young. It has all the makings of a great Pinot but definitely needs time for the elements to gel. The oak is a sort of shroud over the whole thing but when it integrates over the next couple of years, this could be a special bottle of wine. — 9 years ago

Like drinking a piece of history, I felt privileged to taste the 1985 and 1983 vintages of Knudsen Erath Pinot Noir with two of the children of Cal Knudsen. Graceful, arching secondary and tertiary notes of sous bois, dried rose petal, wild mushrooms, brown sugar and dried mint. Brickish in the glass, like a faded tapestry, one can detect how it might have been at its zenith. There is, interestingly still moderate acidity lacing together notes of game and iron ore, there's not much fruit to be found at this stage. — 10 years ago
