Same as my tasting notes from almost a year ago, except that this has clearly evolved in the bottle even better since October 2015. Dark black cherry, currant, and spice notes were at the forefront.
Same as my notes from 3/11/2016. An amazing pinot that fits my palate perfectly. One of the best domestic pinots out there. A little flashy, but in the best of ways, with a medley of beautifully ripe…
Same as my previous notes seven months ago. Very tasty Pinot. PnP with no decant needed. Spicy/jazzy oak highlights with additional hints of baking spices, cinnamon, and clove wonderfully…
Similar to what I remember from back on October 18, 2015 when I last tried this wine. Shows potential, but still primary, especially mid-palate. Notes of black cherry, vanillin spice, black…
Sonoma County · Green Valley of Russian River Valley
Similar specific notes to my previous from 6 months ago. No decant (it didn't need it); PnP with a few minutes of swirling in the glass did this just fine.
Similar to when I had this wine 9 months ago. The tightness and clenched grip had sibsided significantly, leaving a nice medium-bodied Pinot with a worthy array of flavors.
An absolutely phenomenal showing this go-around. Similar to my previous CT notes on this wine, with specific flavors of sweet black cherry and dark berry fruits, ripe plum, black raspberry, vanilla…
Same as my CT note in September 2015. Saturated berry, cola, rhubarb, and baking spice flavors. Texturally perfect; lower acid and almost indistinguishable tannins. A little alcohol and some…
Sonoma County · Green Valley of Russian River Valley
PnP with bold notes of red and purple berry fruit, blueberry, ripe black cherry and raspberry, baking spices, vanilla bean, and pie crust. A rich and luscious Pinot crafted in typical Russell Bevan…
An absolutely phenomenal bottle of wine. In fact, one of the most alluring Pinots I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. PnP with an enticingly brooding nose of dark berry and baking spice aromas. On…
Tasted at Wren Hop alongside the new 2013 releases. The Oracle's Whisper fell in the middle of the pack, with notes of black cherry, dark red raspberry, spice, and wood. Like the Witch's Ladder, the…
A fantastic Pinot that opened up more and more over the course of four+ hours with a slow O2. A haunting, dark crimson color, with aromas of dark red berries and baking spices. On the palate, rich…
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…
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,…
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.…
