Deep luxurious purple. Captivating aromas of baked plums, warm earth, menthol and vanilla. Rich palate with dark chocolate, pretty berries and cherries, and a long, smooth finish. Delicious wine, with character and depth. I found this for about $30 in the Naples, Florida. Jill agrees, this is way in front of the wine we had [...]

2007 Sequana Sarmento Vineyard Pinot Noir
Nice light pinot color. Some interesting (good) strange (not so good) smells. Something like wet wood bark with cherry powder. Pure, very nice fruit on the palate and a long, but slightly hot finish.

Its got all the stuffing but not drinking great tonight. I do see potential. Yeasty. B 2. 02 boillot poruzots. More of a nose [...]
2005 Kistler Kistler Vineyards Chardonny

2004 Roty Mazis Chambertin
Dark ruby. This is a beast. Animal, funky mossy and primal. Absolutely huge finish. Dramatic. Captures the essence of Mazis. There’s a green streak, like most of the 04 red burgundy I’ve tried. Here it fits in nicely. This is way too young. It has tremendous potential and should be aged. I’m thoroughly enjoying it [...]
