Herzog Pinot Noir Special Reserve Sta. Rita Hills

Nice complex and drinking well. Earthy style.

Nice complexity. Very earthy period drinking well.

Good fruit and concentration but there are some Sarah acidic notes that may be wonder if this was an off bottle. Is still pretty decent just not as good as the many other bottles I've had

Very nice showing. Good fruit and concentration and still youthful. Drinking well now.

Nice Ruby color. Prominent bouquet of fresh cherries, strawberries. Ripe juicy fruit flavors of strawberry and raspberry with a nice long finish with Dusty tannins. Drinking really well now with the acidity and tannins on the finish this has some life ahead of it. Drink now to 2028, possibly 2030. New world in style. Good qpr. Great balance. Very enjoyable.

Dark color. Concentrated. Complex. Good ripe fruit. Cherry, berry, earth. Drinks well now, but no need to rush to drink it. It has another 5-10+ years ahead of it. Very enjoyable. Good QPR

Nice dark ruby color. Bouquet of cherries, strawberries, earth. Medium bodied, concentrated and good balance. Nice flavors of earth, dark cherries, spice, dark red fruits. Long finish. Approachable now, can still age. Drink now to 2028, probably longer. Distinctively Californian, but with old world restraint, balance and terroir. Good QPR

93-94+. THIS WINE NEEDS at least a few hours of breathing right now to show its stuff. Brilliant dark ruby color. Explosive delicious bouquet of berries, cherries, ripe fruits. Medium bodied with layered extracted fruit flavors. Dense flavors of cherries, strawberries, raspberries, chocolate, coffee, smoke, mineral, fruity earth. Long tannic acidic finish. A total flavor explosion in your mouth. DELICIOUS!!!! Great QPR. 2023-2033, possibly longer. BRAVO! Super delicious. Has a great future ahead of it

2018 Herzog Pinot Noir, Reserve - Score: 91+ (QPR: )This wine starts off a bit different than the Capcanes with less heart but sadly, with time the 14.5% ABV wine does show its stripes with clear heat, followed by crazy garrigue, roasted herb, with loads of toast and smoke, followed by roasted mint, menthol galore, and hints of Chicka Cherry Cola. The mouth on this medium-bodied Pinot Noir is layered, reminds me of a Benyo Four Gates Pinot, with layers …

Dark purple color. Dark ruby edges. Explosive black cherry, red cherry smoke, earth with hints of cassis bouquet. Medium to full bodied (more full bodied). Impressive concentration. Dense concentrated fruit flavors of black berry, black cherry, earth with hints of cassis. Loads of tannins. Long finish. Delicious now, it will reward cellaring. Impressive wine. A nice addition to the kosher pinot noir world of which there are far too few good ones. This is very impressive. Can drink now with …

See previous not for description. This is impressive. It really could use for breathing than I gave it this time. A must-have

Wow! This is absolutely delicious. Dark Ruby color. Explosive bouquet of dark plums dark cherries and chocolate raspberry. Medium-bodied with very concentrated ripe fruit. In the mouth it is a flavor explosion after about an hour or so of breathing. Very new world in style but not in a negative way. Medium bodied with intense ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, Simone, minerals, blackberries, spice. Long tannic acidic fruity finish. Absolutely delicious now with some breathing and thoroughly enjoyable now …
