Came with our wine club shipment. Took it to our mini-vaca in Phx. & really enjoyed it....glad they shipped us two bottles!! You really could taste dark chocolate! - 03/04/2013
"A deep purple in color, red raspberry, cherry & plum begin the nose of this graceful Pinot Noir. The palate bursts with flavors of dark cherry & spice with oak that balances the length to reveal orange peel on the finish. The wine surrounds the mouth with tannins that are soft yet powerful" - 10/26/2012
"Opens with expressive aromas of white peach & Bartlett pear, which are joined by wafts of orange blossom, lemon peel & river rock & a touch of allspice. Supple & smooth, leading with ripe, succulent stone fruit & then picking up a tantalizing brightness of grapefruit, citrus & chalky mineral notes on the finish. Perfect companion for summer picnics or seafood cookouts." - 10/26/2012
Got another bottle in our March 2013 wine club shipment.

"The finished wine is intense, dense, packed with rugged tannins & distinctive cherry cola flavors with a hint of bay from the surrounding forest. Best if you set it aside for a few years before you pop the cork." - 09/22/2012
"A soft, perfumed nose of ripe boysenberry & black plums is highlighted with aromas & flavors of tobacco, apricot, licorice & mocha. Rich, jammy & velvety with a lifting edge of acidity typical of the cool Russian River appellation." - 09/22/2012
"The 2009 Monte Rosso Mountain Red has a deep purple color and a massive palate, but is overall well-balanced. This wine exhibits intense dark blueberry fruit, dried cranberries, dark chocolate, and chewy tannin layered with hints of smoke and spice.
We suggest decanting this wine if you would like to enjoy now." - 09/22/2012
"The 2009 No. 254 Meritage has a dark red purple hue with a nice acidity. Aromas of brown spice & cinnamon are found on the bouquet, followed by flavors of black cherry & plum with hints of sweet herbs. Being in oak for two separate periods of time adds hints of vanilla, cinnamon, and graham cracker. This wine is full of juicy fruit characteristics with a finish that is long & smooth." - 09/22/2012
"In the glass, our Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon shows dark, inky purple depths that bloom with brambly black fruit, blueberry pie and layers of toasted oak, nutmeg and clove. The signature Rutherford fruit shines across the midpalate as the smooth entry develops a brooding underbelly of rich, dark, juicy fruit. Dried cherries, dark cocoa and sweet hazelnut coffee melt through the middle, joined by barrel nuances that lend tannins and structure without overpowering the fruit. This well-balanced, well-structured Cabernet Sauvignon will hold up to hardy roasted or braised meats and rich sauce dishes." - 09/22/2012
Received another bottle in our February 2013 club shipment (don't know what year).
"Across the palate, cedar, hay & toast interplay over a sweet fruit backdrop. Savory, salty foods will bring forward the fruit in this wine; pair it with roasted meats & stews." - 03/04/2013
"Aromas of sweet berries, spice, coffee & notes of licorice. Try this wine with roasted or grilled meats, as well as hearty pasta dishes." - 07/24/2012
"Aromatic, clean, & richly flavorful. Enjoy as an elegant aperitif or paired with rosemary chicken, sea bass, rabbit in white wine sauce or raw oysters. With fewer than 470 acres total planted in CA, production is limited. This blend is dry, fresh & lively with wonderful minerality, tropical fruit, and zero oak. Serve slightly chilled." - 07/24/2012
"Bright fruit & floral aromatics leap from the glass in our Viognier, opening the senses with fragrant orange blossom, white pear & ruby grapefruit aromas. The bright floral-citrus appeal continues onto the palate, picking up succulent white peach & ripe apricot notes as it develops. The stone fruit flavors persist through the long, smooth finish. With pleasant, silky texture & well-balanced acidity, the wine pairs well with a variety of lighter dishes such as seafood pasta or roasted poultry." - 07/11/2012
