Similar as my notes from 8/1/15. I noticed more of the typical KB cola, rhubarb, and sassafras notes this time around. Drinking well right now, and should sail through the next couple of years.
Black cherry, ripe raspberry, KB cola, vanillin cassis, and subtle wood smoke. Improved with an hour in the decanter. The best of the appellation 2012 KB Pinots at the moment.
A medium-bodied wine (but the deepest and richest Pinot Noir in EK's range when compared to the 2012 Small Town and 2012 Sascha Marie). Notes of dark red fruits, spice, and subtle soil.
Explosive notes of rich black cherry and dark berry fruits, sweet plum, cinnamon, cardamom, anise, Jamaican allspice, and cedar. A fun and complex wine. Fans of Wren Hop and Russell Bevan will be…
A solid Pinot, with a seductively smooth and upfront appealing texture. Drinking really well at the moment. Lacks just a tad of the complexity of some other '10 KB Pinots. Tasted alongside '12 Bevan…
Similar notes as on 7/24/15. Tasted tonight side-by-side with a '10 KB Sonoma and Bevan 2114. The 2114 was WOTN, with the Wren Hop Mortal Coil a close #2. The Mortal Coil was a little tight tonight,…
Red fruit and spice on the nose. On the palate, rhubarb, sassafras, red berry, dark red cherry, a little earth, and spice. A very accessible and fruit-forward Pinot, with a rich, voluptuous profile.…
Tasted at Wren Hop on initial release and again tonight. On the nose, dark red berry, earth, cedar, incense. On the palate, rich black cherry, plum, strawberry jam, vanilla, and forest floor.…
Tasted at the Cirq pickup event. Nose was somewhat muted, with unique mineral, wet slate and berry aromas. On the palate, a cool inward profile of purple and red fruit; plum, black cherry, dark red…
