375. Feminine. Nice length. Good purity. Has a candied/confectionary note that’s surprisingly pleasant. Fruit forward and pretty. Best at cellar temp. // Edit: paired this with roasted beets and fancy balsamic and GOTTDAMN — 7 months ago

Meiomi

Monterey County Pinot Noir 2021

Wow. This was fantastic. It tasted like a 5 year old Cab Sauv, not a 2 year old pinot. Notes of dark berries and mocha with a smooth oak finish, very unusual for a pinot. — 9 months ago

North Coast Syrah 2009

Duncan saved the best for last at his arlequin wine merchant tasting. Tasting through the new chards and pinots, I wondered about how these wines age because they sure seemed tight and the Pinot was even tannic. This 2009 Syrah, however, was wonderful and open, showing all sorts of dark berries, pine, mint, forest-y character, and nice felty tannins. I'd decide to wait on the others, too! — 9 years ago

Orin Swift Cellars

Abstract Grenache Blend 2019

History dates back to 1995 when on a lark, David Swift Phinney took a friend up on an offer & went to Florence, Italy to spend a semester “studying”. During that time, he was introduced to wine, how it was made, & got hooked. A Grenache, Syrah & Petite Sirah blend. Aromas of fresh ripe red fruits with floral & spice. On the palate flavors of cherry & raspberry with cacao & espresso notes on sweet savory soft tannins, well balanced, lingering finish ending with fruit & toasty oak. Nice! Consistent Quality! — 2 months ago

Riverstone Arroyo Seco Chardonnay 2013

Light and refreshing. Fruity flavors with slight vanilla undertones. Very crisp, but has a slight bite in the aftertaste. Would be great with mussels, crab, or a sharp cheese platter. — 9 years ago
