Paşaeli
6/N Karasakiz 2022
Tart cranberry, sour cherry, raspberry, and hints of fresh strawberry. Acidic, a little funky, cedar and some forest floor on the nose. Relatively light. Reminds me of Pinot noir but certainly its own thing. Rustic with hints of charm. — 2 months ago
McBride Sisters
Central Coast Pinot Noir 2022
A very classic central coast Pinot — this is a well executed genre exercise vs something artistic or expressive. A solid choice for Thursday evening. — 8 days ago
Domaine Dyckerhoff
Reuilly Petit Gris 2024
Golden apple, rose water, pear. Big on the palate, enough acidity to keep it from feeling heavy. — a month ago
Oenops Wines
Apla Dry Xinomavro Blend 2022
Funky Greek red. Sour cherry, raspberry, plenty of acid and earthiness. Very old world, spicy, pairs well with BBQ when chilled a little bit. — 2 months ago
Domaine de Triennes
Vin de Pays du Var Cinsault Rosé Blend 2024
White flowers, strawberry, rhubarb, white peach. Medium bodied with structured acidity. Lovely on a hot day but has enough heft to pair well with salmon pasta. — 2 months ago
De Ponte Cellars
Estate Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2022
Delicious. Fruit forward for the region and the producer, but it’s working for me. Raspberry, dark cherry, red currants. Hints of cocoa. Well balanced. — a month ago
Ptujska Klet
Pullus Pinot Noir 2023
Slovenian Pinot. Fun to try a different approach. Has more acidity relative to new world versions, and some funkiness and forest floor that crosses both old and new. Not quite as balanced as I prefer, but fun to try a favorite varietal approached differently. — a month ago
Joe Christenson
Big, brambly, bold. Not harmonious yet. Hard to say if everything will come together at some point. Big red fruit, some woody notes, unripe red currant, plenty of tannin yet has some juiciness. Unrefined but kind of fun. — a day ago
