Very enjoyable Dolcetto. Needed to breath for about 30 minutes and then opened up beautifully with all the characterists you would expect from this varietal. Very pleased and would purchase again. Wayne

This wine is drinking quite well. Could age several more years but can't imagine much improvement. Good color, good fruit and good body. Very elegant; well worth the price. An excellent value.

Served for our anniversary. Decanted for two hours. Disappointed overall; fruit is gone but still lots of oak. Would drink now. For the cost would not buy this wine again. Another example of an over priced California Cab.

Needs one to two hours decanting to open up. Rate about an 86 today, but needs more aging time.

Tasted 11/21/06 with dinner. Not decanted but should have done so. Fruity and soft with good dark color. Will wait another year to try again. Did not get excited about this bottle.

Very good cabernet characteristics. The 1995 could go several more years but would not improve with additional time.

This was a 1994 not 1998. Wine was past its prime. There was a "funky" smell but do not know the reason. The cork looked fine. Ther wine was medium body, nice collor, no tanins. Earlier wines from this vintage were much better.

An excellent Zinfandel. The 1998 is ready to drink now.

Decanted 1/2 hour before drinking. Brick-red color. Excellent nose of ripe cherries, cassis and earth. Light on the palate with good fruit. Good finish. Drink sooner rather than later.
