Marcassin Vineyard Chardonnay 2004

Another great last minute gathering at the storage facility!

Dan is the king of busting out these old Marcassins, and every single one has been a revelation...until this one 😕. Don’t get me wrong, this was nowhere close to terrible, but it smelled and tasted of bubblegum. Very faint nuttiness notes to it.

I had an -06 courtesy of @Norman Gennaro that cracked my skull. Still dreaming about it. Bummer this one didn’t work out.

Cherry Pie Wines

Stanly Ranch Pinot Noir 2012

9.2

Finally trying Cherry Pie (from Hundred Acre). 3 different single vineyard Pinots from 2012. Stanly Ranch is dynamite (and a vineyard to keep an eye on). Reminiscent of Kosta Browne. Next up is Rodgers Creek. Darker fruit. Less explosive, but a nice wine. Third up is Carinalli. Way lighter, though some spice to it. It's fine, but doesn't hold a candle to the other two. (Thanks Mastro's in Scottsdale for hosting me!) — 9 years ago

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2013

Named for the wives of Dan Kosta and Emeril Lagasse, this Pinot is not readily available, yet quite enjoyable with the bacon wrapped Pork tenderloin at Mayacama. — 10 years ago

Mid way, it was fruity and like melon. At the end, there was raspberry, and tobacco. Yup, tobacco.

The Standish Wine Company

Single Vineyard Shiraz 2003

I love Dan Standish. He is one of the best winemakers. Lovely wine, very young. Blueberry and Red silky fruit. Full Bodied but not overly alcoholic, heat isn't obvious in this wine. Great length and layers of flavours. Big points from me 95 points. A producer I highly recommend! Typical sweet Barossa fruit, very seductive... — 11 years ago

Gemina California Pinot Bianco - Greco Blend 2014

Serious acid backbone here- the PG adds a round component which is welcome and adds some fleshy richness. @Dan Petroski is a master when it comes to white wine. — 8 years ago

2011. A bit more restrained than what I'm used to from KB. Unexpectedly balanced. — 10 years ago

Amber Ridge Vineyard Syrah 2004

Terrific at the open, silky smooth texture and very round and balanced with a nice long finish. Kosta Brown's elegant touch shows in the structure of this big subtly jammy syrah. Too bad there's probably no '04's available but I'm loving this wine. — 10 years ago
