Unattractive, with funky, medicinal cherry flavors and a soft, collapsed texture. The oak sticks way out.

Tastes soft and direct, with very ripe, accessible cherry, raspberry, cola, gingerbread, mocha, cinnamon spice and smoky oak flavors. Fairly one-dimensional, but a pretty Pinot Noir.

Nice and varietally correct, with an herbal, mushroomy undertow to the cherry, cola and pomegranate flavors. It’s a little soft, but dry and silky, in the way of coastal Pinot Noir.

A little too soft, despite nice, dry varietal flavors. The cola, cherry, rhubarb and oak woodspice flavors just lack the acidity to come alive, much less last in the bottle.

Disappointing for this legendary vineyard; a soft, medicinal Pinot with funky, mushroomy cherry flavors.

Oak stars in this Chard—too much oak, in fact. Vanilla, char, wood sap, woody spice and smoke tastes dominate the tropical fruit, peach and citrus flavors.

A little on the thin side, fruit-wise, although there’s a wealth of toasty oak, and the wine possesses that bright acidity so associated with the vineyard and appellation. The flavors veer toward apricots and papayas. While official alcohol is only 14.5%, the finish is chili-pepper hot.
