OK. Smooth. Black tea taste. Not much fruit. This is two vintages in a row that Emerald Ridge was just fair, particularly drinking it 5 years past vintage date. Possibly a "drink-younger"?

This has a wonderful core of red fruit surrounded by silky tannins, a soft yet full mid-palate, forest floor, spice and long succulent finish. 93+

Medium ruby red in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, strawberries & blueberries with overtones of spices notes of cloves/cinnamon & earthy/dusty notes, floral notes of roses, cherry-cola, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla in the background. Medium bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, strawberries & pomegranate with spices, herbs, cola, minerals & a touch of oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at …

Not my favorite Pinot from DG. A little sharp and tart on the finish but not in a great way. Ok front with some blackberry and some earthiness.

Really nice wine, opened up well with a good finish. A little more tart than I typically like

13.5% abv. Recent auction purchase. Notes seems to be all over the place on this - some call it big and rich, some light and tart. I'm leaning towards the lighter and tart side but somewhere in the middle. In any case, this had more of a strawberry flavor profile and was pretty good, but just didn't hit the right notes for me. Just OK with broiled Salmon, potatoes, with cauliflower. Kind of fell apart on the second evening.

No decant. Wine tasting wonderfully, still very expressive and alive. Easy to drink and enjoyable. Paired surprisingly well with carnitas tacos. Color: Soft medium garnet. Nose: Fragrant right away, blackberry, plum, dried fruits, earthy. Palate: Fruit present on front palate (mild plum, pomegranate, floral and warm/savory oak notes), but it's the alcohol (13.5%) and med+ acidity that carry the wine. balanced and round on the tongue throughout, with decent depth and layers. very nice med-length finish to match.

Needed some breathing time to take away some of the tartness. Not one to have without food. Good overall taste.

good solid Sonoma PN. a bit on the thin side for me but the elegance has not faded with a few bottle years. Enjoyable as you'd expect from the wonderful team at DG
