Simply one of the 5 top CA Pinot Noir producers with this kind of vintage and age. They also possess consistency bottling to bottling - vintage to vintage for the most part. The fruits are; bright, fresh, floral, candied & juicy. Dark cherries, blackberries, black raspberries, black plum, plum, poached strawberries, boysenberries and blueberries all around the edges and pomegranate over the top. It is glorious over the palate. Black steeped tea, light nutmeg, dark Asian spices, cinnamon stick, vanilla, mid berry cola, red & black licorice, limestone, black rich soil, dry herbaceous notes- bay leaf up front, endless lighter, mid dark, red & blue florals framed in violets, cool summer rain acidity with great balance, getting their evolution & integration, nice tension & structure and an even finish fruit and earth that lasts beautifully for minutes. Wine candy that will tame & improve over the next 5-8 years, hold a few and start a slow decline. @D&SLounge.

Delicious Foss Vyd from the Russian River Valley of Cali. Bright red fruits abound with just a touch of sage brush. The fruit and wine is a medium weight style . Gorgeous! CB 94

Bright and savory red fruits with solid acidity and fine tannins. Savory red fruit and slightly exotic (in a good way) finish. Another winner from W-S.

Classic WS stewed strawberry notes but not as concentrated as I have come to expect. Light fruit, very little finish. Misses the mark. Bottle was given as a gift so I wonder if we're dealing with improper storage conditions.
