A little gummy and sluggish on entry. Margarine, lemon curd, pineapple, olive oil, and overripe yellow pear flesh. Not undrinkable, but brassy and heavy; viscous in a way that makes for a chewy…
Both crisp and fulfilling, delivering a nice dollop of white and yellow fruit wrapped up in a grippy, tangy housing that presents medium speed and weight. Finishes a little round (not sure of the…
Earthy black cherry, wild strawberry, mulch, evergreen, tree bark, stems, forest floor, and some wet rock. Clearly an earth-driven type of Pinot, with a nice dose of fruit flavor to hold interest and…
Lemon, quince, grilled pineapple, olive oil, mixed nuts, and some wet limestone. Slightly reductive, with the mineral notes creeping up on the back end, adding to the complexity of the core fruit.…
Big on the vanilla, creme fraiche, and lemon curd flavors, with a notably rich attack on the front end. Tropical fruit and glycol round out the profile here. The flavors are wonderfully decadent, but…
Over a year and a half of time in bottle has certainly helped this wine evolve more in terms of the development of flavor and a relaxing of the tart, bracing acidity that it displayed back in April…
Dark earthy notes of red and black raspberry, cherry, mulch, cedar, mushroom, forest floor, and some spice. Initially, the attack was noteworthy, with a really nice push of flavors. After about an…
A very gulpable style, with rounded purple and black berry fruit flavors. Some streaks of cranberry and dark raspberry inserted in the otherwise purple and black berry notes. Some railroad tie, wood,…
Displayed some nice higher-register red berry fruit notes, cranberry, unripe raspberry, orange rind, and some alcohol. Outperformed a 2011 Williams Selyem Sonoma Pinot served alongside it. Fairly…
PnP with notes of tart cranberry and raspberry, black cherry, cola, black tea, earth, and some menthol. Into the decanter it went for over an hour (and consumed over another hour+).
