Antica Terra

Antikythera Pinot Noir 2011

Stunning wine from an elegant vintage. 2011 consumed in March 2018.

Graceful and breathy. Such an amazing core of fruit considering the flimsy examples from many other wineries from this year. Just now starting to plateau with 5 to 7 more years to go!

Evening Land Vineyards

Summum Seven Springs Vineyard Chardonnay 2015

Summum: Popped and poured; enjoyed with our first course of corn chowder. The 2015 Summum pours a bright neon yellow color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is youthful with bright notes Meyer lemon, star fruit, yellow flowers, some butter, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and has a chalky texture. The balance of fruit and minerals soooo Eola-Amity Hills. Drink now through 2030. — 4 months ago

Sea Smoke

Ten Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir 2011

The anticipation and patience displayed holding this for 10 years was amply rewarded. Clear, brick-ish color, tight nose that eventually opened to loads of red fruit, Burgundy like in its combination of lushness and reserve. Subtle and layered even after all these years. — 7 months ago

Thomas

Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2013

in line with the other reviews. An exceptional wine maker, doing everything from planting to pruning to winemaking. Very small production. Opened the bottle about an hour before consuming every last drop. Quite delicious. An exceptional example of Oregon Pinot Noir.  — 8 months ago

Clos Pepe Estate

Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2011

WOW is right. Gorgeous red fruit, cherries, ripe strawberries, hint of pepper, softened tannins, absolutely delicious. It probably has another 3 to 5 years at least. Can’t wait to try the next bottle at that time.  — 2 years ago

Columbia Crest

H3 Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

I had bought this wine for my wife who likes robust wines  - what a pleasant surprise in addition to its body. It had complex bursting flavors. Consistently flavourful from the first taste on my lips to the Gargle and aftertaste. I matched it with sirloin steak from an elk and some mushrooms with garlic, and the universe was as it should be.  — 8 months ago

The Eyrie Vineyards

Dundee Hills Pinot Gris 2017

The Eyrie Vineyards, Pinot Gris, from the Dundee Hills of Oregon. Vintage 2017. ABV 12.5%.

Bright citrus and tart melon and cantaloupe notes with some salinity and wet stone influences. Very refreshing and youthful.

Easy to pair with food, we have paired it with roasted bok choy, aubergine, and brown jasmine rice. It goes nicely and doesn’t compete with the tamari and sesame flavors.

Domaine Serene

Evenstad Reserve Dundee Hills Chardonnay 2015

Bit of pear and melon. Finish had some sharp bitterness that did not compliment the entire palette. Temp was better than 56, thus smoke time to reduce these edges that didn’t completely happen. Otherwise approachable Chardonnay. — 6 years ago

Bergström Wines

Bergström Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

This wine has it all... has converted me to having faith in the potential of American Pinots. Nose is strong violets with undifferentiated fruit. But flavor bursts forth with a perfect blend of violets, tobacco, fruit and tannins. Great full body fills your mouth and makes a strong statement. Absolutely delicious!!!!!! — 8 years ago
