Mike Madaio

Lots of barnyard funk on the nose, mixed with some floral and caramel notes. (Caramel barnyard - what more could you ask for?!?) Palate is very juicy, with roses, cherry fruits, good acidity, and smooth tannins.

Wine Fire

Bright cherry leads the way, with plum and floral hints adding interest to the nose. Bright red cherry pops up on mid-palette, with hints of charcoal, oak and cedar in the aftertaste. Plum fills in the gaps, along with blackberries. Faint pepper, so...

A bit of a jammy smell, but it did not have the overwhelming fruit on the palate. There is a dark fruit component to the taste, but what really showed through was cedar and a pleasant finish that still showed some of the cedar. It really blossomed when...

Really stunning glass of Pinot Noir. Crisp, clean but an overwhelming plum, blackberry and raspberry and even a gamey meat quality which wasn't expected. New World pizzaz but nota bad thing in this case.

Brussel sprouts, tomato juice, lit matches, rosemary, cocoa and soil. Great old world style pinot/burgundy on steroids, beautiful wine, nice long creme brulee finish. Wish this were under $25. Highly recommended $35 91 points WKH

This is beautifully light and clean. Pours a pale straw with a green tinge and the taste is predominantly apples, pears and nuts. Its extremely crisp and fresh with little acidity and very moreish. Maybe more famous for their Pinots but the Chardonnay ...

The nicest wine out of four PN tasted last night. Smoke and wild mushrooms covering sweet flavors in nose. Flavors match. Plenty of spice and pepper reveals in nose. Soft finish. With time, develops ripe olives and complexity. This wine just confirms m...
