Oh how I love the 2011 Napa vintage!

The expressive nose is layered with cassis, blackberry, fig, violet, cedar, sage, and hint of loamy soil. The medium to full body is elegant, with almost perfect acidity that’s lively and precise - bright enough but never intrusive. Finely resolved tannins lead to a long savory yet lightly candied finish.

This is in its prime, yet has ample concentration and structure to hold plateau for another 5-8 years. — 23 days ago

Intense, elegant, and complex. Dark fruits abound with hints of mocha. Be sure to recant for a few hours beforehand. — 6 years ago

50 % CF from Beckstoffer To Kalon
50% Cabernet from Pritchard Hill.
Needs a 4 hour decant which I forgot to do before I left the house,
Next time. Wagyu Ribeye required
Seems very few have tried this one on delectable. Not worth release price of almost $300.00 but definitely worth an auction price for $125.00 — 3 years ago

Everything from this winery is excellent. This was a darker Pinot, well balanced, paired great with a mediterrean meal. — 6 years ago

15’ Aubert Ritchie. Best Ritchie I’ve enjoyed from Mark to date? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Medium + bodied. Beautifully balanced Chardonnay. White peach, splash of pineapple core, apricot, white toast, sprinkle in a bit of floral spices. 3 favorites from this vineyard are Château Boswell- Arista- Aubert. Cheers. -at BLT Honolulu, Hawaii — 7 years ago

More full-bodied than most pinots. Silky smooth. Chocolate, dark cherries, and orange peel. Round, plush, chewy. Absolutely Eloise is absolutely delicious! — 9 years ago

One of the best rose I’ve tasted. The bouquet radiates with blackberry, raspberry, blood orange, red/black tea, and light fresh herbs. Medium body. Refreshing and smooth upon entry and build complexity and weight on the mid palate. Hint of tannins on the long finish.

Hallberg vineyard is about 100 acres spanning 3 AVA: Russian River Valley, Green Valley (itself is a sub AVA of RRV) and Sonoma Coast. Different bottlings might show different AVA on the labels. — 3 years ago

Smokey and rich. Plums and blackberries. Very nice but not quite as good as I was expecting. No reason to hold any longer. — 6 years ago

Some of the best fruit you can taste. Florals galore woven into concentrated blackberries, blueberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, black plum, raisins, with delicate dry soil, wet clay, crushed rocks, dry stone, dark spice with violets, hints of lavender and dark red florals. Amazing acidity and super elegant, ripe, well balanced wine. However, not as complex as the other reds we tasted.

Wow!!! Tasted this years ago at industry tasting at Chateau Boswell in Napa: it’s better than I remember. Arietta, Bevan, Barbour, Realm...you name it, they were there. I thought CORRA was the “Best of Show”!!! — 9 years ago
