Good fruit. Little funky. Nose of barnyard and mohagany. Quaffable. — 4 months ago
A delicious Pinot to enjoy during a special holiday. — 2 years ago
Popped and poured. The 2012 pours a deep ruby, with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of blackberries, desiccated cherries, prune, pipe tobacco, new leather, purple flowers, wet rocks, and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and quite satisfying. The texture is luxurious. This drinking well now and should continue to do so for a least a few more years but why wait? — 2 years ago
Salvaje - bret — 4 years ago
Dark ruby color that is a bit translucent but still has some cloudiness. Notes of wild fresh strawberries, cherry jam, a bit of barnyard and salty qualities (from the yeast). On the palate, has a light to medium body with some roundness and plush tannins. More fresh strawberries straight from the fields, simmered cherries or a cherry jam, with a hint of basil. Is light enough to enjoy alone or with light nibbles. But would pair well with a range of dishes including barbecue, pizza, grilled pork, steak, or a chicken dish (with a sauce and some spices). — 5 years ago

Clear, medium ruby in color with a hint of garnet; on the nose, it's clean with medium intensity primary and secondary aromas of plums, blueberries, tar, and a hint of mocha; on the palate, it's dry with pronounced intensity primary and secondary flavors of blackberries, sugar plums, red pepper flakes, and tar with a long finish. This wine is complex and intense. Overall, I rate this wine as good. Nellie likes it, too. — 4 days ago
