My neighbor who is a Scotch guy brought this out. He wasn’t so keen on it. I liked it. Cranberry with a splash of smokiness. — 6 months ago

I think it was good but becoming a believer in glasses making a difference. The glass here at a restaurant just didn’t allow it to shine imho. I think this could rate higher. — 4 months ago

Yep. Good stems are a necessity.

Kinda interesting that sushi restaurants are now using better wine glasses than other foody restaurants. I get they need less and probably break less but it shows they care about every part of the experience. I hate to be “that guy” bitching about a glass but this should have been at least 2 basis points higher. Need to see what I rated it before but it had the makings of a 9.6-9.7 but just didn’t show it.

What do I know… last time I gave it a 9.2 and said it needed more air ;) I think I have one left. It will be with plenty of air and a nice glass. TBD on the results.

Swan Clone Pinot Noir 2022

Jay Kline

9.1

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2022 “Swan Clone” pours a pale garnet color with a transparent core, medium viscosity and no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is youthful with mostly tart red fruits: strawberry, raspberry, rhubarb, herbs and underbrush along with some warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Lean and fresh, this needs quite a bit of time to flesh out. Drink now with sights set towards the future but this will be better after 2027 and through 2042. Only 75 cases made. — 10 months ago

Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, vanilla and nutty scents. On the palate complex flavors of apple, peach, pineapple and lemon citrus, cinnamon notes, well balanced with acidity on a nice mouthfeel. Long finish ending with oak, vanilla, mineral and citrus notes, will continue to age. A beautiful Chardonnay. — 6 months ago
