Drinking the 2012 in 2018. Very deep dark and rich color. Long lasting legs. Rich oak aroma with hints of pepper. Earthy flavor with tons of oak. Very smooth from start to finish. Love this wine! — 8 years ago

Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay 2014

Wet stone and white pepper on the nose. Minerals, lemon curd, chalk and bracing lime 🍋 tones. Super acidic in the finish that shows the pepper, green pear and green apple. Wonderfully delish. — 10 years ago

So in 2013 this was our first winery we hit on the way up to Napa. As we pull up on the drive the car leaving sticks out his hand with a thumbs down 👎🏻. I had the picnic experience reserved on their lake/pond and the chef was a friend of a friend so had to stick with it. The whites were good but never got into the reds. Looks like they are improving!

@Ryan Mitchell very interesting.

Cuvée Estelle Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

What a well made and delicious wine. Decanted 1.5 hours. Cigar smoke, black licorice, boysenberry, and a thread of rose or lilac lining the nose. The palate is seamless with stewed black cherry, blueberry, vanilla, and cinnamon. Beauty of a finish with some cocoa. This is what Washington is all about. — 10 years ago

Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir 2012

An ideal growing season paired beautifully with our minimalist winemaking style to produce this Pinot. Rich hues of blueberry draw the eye, while lush dark stone fruits coat the palate. Velvety finish leaves you wanting more! — 12 years ago

Ram's Gate Winery

Estate Sonoma County Pinot Noir 2012

Vanilla bean and just ripe date on the nose, the palate reflects the nose very well but there is a cherry cola effect that really sends it home. Can't wait to try in a few years! — 11 years ago

Trinity Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir 2012

Selected from the "best of the best" barrels, our Trinity Reserve Pinot features our stellar 115 clone which elevates this vintage to new heights. All the lushness of the Classic 2012, with an added inner structure and spice on the palate. One for the table now, two for the cellar! — 12 years ago

Ashton Hills Vineyard

Reserve Pinot Noir 2012

Spicy Aromas with Cherry Sappiness and Earthy notes with a little savoury funk. Great intensity and length. Very well made in a brilliant terroir for this variety - on this occasion in the Adelaide Hills. As Richard Hemming MW an Englishman said “this is a Burgundy Slayer”! Tasted 57 weeks later with consistent notes - a Pinot more on the fuller side. Very easy to drink. — 9 years ago

Rosé Blend 2016

Pretty rose gold color, interesting blend of Grenache, Mouved, and Counnoise (which I have never heard of). Fresh floral notes and red fruits on the nose, healthy acid, citrus. Little bit of bitterness on medium length/complexity finish. Very drinkable, though not remarkable. — 9 years ago
