Very good Pinot Noir and surprising for California. The cool weather of Marin certainly assists. While overly fruity when young this has mellowed into a well rounded wine. I suspect more years would be of further benefit. We will see.

An absolutely wonderful pinot, with deep fruit and long finish. Probably another 10 years or more on this one.

Medium to full bodied, fruit forward, but not red ripe fruit, no sweetness. Went great with filet mignon

Wow, is this the same wine that I tasted and scored 18 months ago?? This bottle was an oak bomb from the first whiff through the finish. The dark fruit is sufficient but it gets overwhelmed by the oak. It actually paired just fine with every dish we had but was not at all what I was expecting. Very unusual for a D-G wine.

Decanted into a tall one about 45 minutes before drinking, that worked well. This didn't evolve noticeably over the 2+ hours it was drank, which was without food. It showed with a medium purple color. Had a nice body heft that wasn't too much. On the nose and palate it was more dark-fruited than red with blueberries, blackberries, hints of sous boi, and brambles. The acid had settled nicely integrated into the fruit and tannins such that this didn't bite. …

over ripe sweet dark fruit and lots of vanilla. This wine reminds me of why i need to buy more burgundy.

Nice. 13.5 abv, right up my alley. Medium ruby color, translucent. Modest nose. Juicy and fruity on palate. Overall nicely balanced. Drank this on PG&E blackout apocalypse! Love Marin wines!

Likely my favorite of the DG single vineyard pinots. Jumps out of the glass with notes of cherry rhubarb pie and baking spices. Whole-mouth feel with lively long tart finish. A little smoky and tart.

The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like raspberry and blackberry. It tastes like strawberry, raspberry, strawberry jam, cherry and lychee. The body is light/medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

Always on Halloween, always great! This bottle was part of a three-year vertical that we did for Halloween dinner. Excellent as always, but the prize for the night went to the '15.

Tasted this in July at the winery; liked it then and even more now. Very pretty food wine: blueberry, strawberry very smooth and drinkable with about 30 minutes aeration. Drinking well now but probably no rush to drink.

This '14 McDougall was delightfully light in character, and middle-of-the-boulevard cherry. Light acid, very food friendly. Still somewhat in its youth, but plenty great today!
