St. Somewhere Pinot Noir 2014

A great “mistake” that really paid off. Well bodied Pinot noir. A steal of a price! — 4 years ago

Castoro Cellars

Pasofusion Red Blend 2015

Blend of Zinfandel and Petite Sirah. Dense purple red, highly extracted pigment. Blueberry, raspberry, mint, butter and barrel aromas, flavors. Fruity, not quite jammy, definitely not overripe, high skin tannin astringency on initial pour. A tad light on acid. Cherry emerges after 30 minutes, some seed bitterness after 60 minutes. Astringency largely resolved after 60. Mint changes to menthol after two hours. Decant two hours minimum. — 4 years ago

Whale Rock Vineyard Reserve Pinot Noir 2016

14.3% alc/vol. Ruby to dark red, moderate pigment extraction, very good clarity. Cherry, weedy greens and barrel wood aromas on nose. Cherry flavor with length, some seed bitterness on finish with leather and cherry pulp fruitiness. Aftertaste of cherry stone. Moderate skin and barrel tannin astringency after 30 minutes. Could use some decanting. Mint, blueberry and black currant flavors emerge after 60 minutes. Solid fruit expression for variety, shows well for Cali cool climate vineyard location in Templeton Gap. Perhaps more barrel character than some might prefer; not my usual style for the varietal but good fruit at its core, and well crafted overall. Castoro reds can be tannin-forward, and this Pinot noir is no exception. The natural question is: can you dig it when a Pinot noir is made this way? I love the challenge, but do you have the patience to age or decant this wine long enough to show all it can be? — 5 years ago
