Contra Costa County, San Francisco Bay

Rhys Vineyards

San Mateo County Pinot Noir 2015

Another last of its kind wine as the San Mateo moved to Alesia label after this vintage. This young blend is really singing right now with bright red fruit and cedar spice and well balanced acidity. A candidate for short term aging, but the freshness of the fruit really shines now. — 5 years ago

Devil's Gulch Vineyard Pinot Noir

Lots of plum and boysenberry on the nose. The same tastes come thru on the palate with some subtle baking spices. A long elegant finish. — 8 years ago

Les Enfants Terribles Evangelho Vineyard Old Vines Carignane 2016

[Tasted on December 21, 2018 at Home]

Interesting Carignane from vines planted in the 1890s. Rustic wine brimming with wild strawberry and pomegranate fruit. Violet notes with spice and lively acidity on the finish.

Evangel Vineyard Carignan

The Valdiguie was kind of meh, got better with air but the Carignan... this is a wild f’in wine. I honestly don’t know what’s happening in my mouth but it’s some combination of red fruit and salted meat. Kind of stopped me in my tracks as I said “wtf is this” — 6 years ago
