2012 CIRQ Estate Treehouse Pinot Noir. Michael Browne’s (of Kosta Browne) personal project which as I understand is an homage to the Summers he spent at a ‘Circus Camp’ in his youth. Treehouse is an amazing hilltop (stunning elevation) property in west Sonoma County with red, iron-rich soil surrounded by (say what?) coastal cypress trees. I had the pleasure of visiting, hosted by Damon Wong, and it's an amazing Vineyard. Unlike anything else I've ever seen. I can understand Michael's fascination with it. The wine: On the nose, red fruits, cedarbox, with notes of rhubarb and fennel. On the palate, pomegranate, kirsch, black tea, spices, roasted herbs along with hints of black truffles and white pepper. Beautiful texture. Lengthy finish. Classic expression of Pinot Noir. If I had to distinguish it from Kosta Browne from a flavor-perspective, I would say higher acidity and a bit of tannin give it a quality more accustom to Grand Cru Burgundy which is not bad company. I'm a fan. Congrats to Michael as well as his partner in this project, my friend Kenny Rochford, one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. — 8 years ago

An excellent 2012 Sangiovese from a small winemaker in Glen Ellen (and a former general contractor who retired to make fab wines). We had it at a local restaurant in July 2013 and just had to visit the winery before leaving wine country ( & it was mid morning) and we were impressed...we have been hooked since then. Uncorking this amazing bottle for tonight's dinner is a celebration of over 4 years of great times and a new chapter! — 8 years ago

Rustic fare is essential for such a shadowy grove. Cypress informs rosemary, smoked black salt, anise and prune ethereally. Cedar-heavy entry backs down to dense boysenberry, licorice-tinged blackberry that oozes through the finish spilling into a valley full of violets with veins full of sweet tar. — 9 years ago

Fave summer wine. Had first at Myrtle Beach restaurant, The Cypress Room, for our 29th anniversary. — 9 years ago

9.2

Grown in deep soils layered with coarse red sand, in my own winemaking experience, sandy soils yield wines with silky tannins—such is the case with this Bordeaux inspired blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc. The nose is alive and vibrantly complex with spicy boysenberries and plums, dust, decomposing leaves, cypress branches and dried pen ink. And oh, yes, polished tannins aplenty, it's got tons of structure and finesse. I'd lay this down for another decade for more. — 9 years ago

Cloudy with sedimentation in the bottle. Bright straw color in the glass with hints of crushed stone and island fruits on the noise. Fresh acidity on the taste as well as nectarines, papaya with a touch of oak. Long lingering finish. Paired with Cypress Grove Midnight Moon Goat Cheese. — 10 years ago

Heady, plummy, perfumed with a hint of cypress - this is a voluptuous, feminine wine that although Merlot definitely tastes Tuscan. Showing much more youthfulness than its 10 years would have one assume. — 8 years ago

Another free wine courtesy of open bar at a charity event, still would have paid good money for it. A delicious full bodied, tannic Cabernet Sauvignon. Very drinkable both with and without food. — 8 years ago

Cypress bark, cranberry and nutmeg. Buoyant acidity elevates the fine tannins to prominence. Cedar and bright red raspberry with all spice in the long finish.

Cranberry, currant, blackberry and pepper cooked into venison shoulder. Hen-of-the-woods cooked into its oaken companion! Plenty of oak bark and licorice here. Smoky blackberry and rich earth round out the variegated smells. This is almost Cornas!
Eggshell, cypress wood, grainy tannins and boysenberry to the front lines armed with thorny green weapons which melt into mouth-coating black poppyseed. There is coffee rye and black currant encased in walnut that becomes ensconced, nailed to your tongue with leaden resolve. — 10 years ago
