Pagani Ranch Heritage Sonoma Valley Red Blend 2015

Do yourself a favor and follow Esther Mobley on Twitter. She’s the Wine, Beer & Spirits writer for the San Francisco Chronicle and her reporting on the wine country fires is extraordinary... “1880s vines at Old Hill Ranch in Sonoma Valley. Gone” (photo credit to her also).
I had to open the 2015 Bedrock Pagani Ranch Heritage from Morgan Twain-Peterson MW (pictured right) which is also from 1880s vines and just a few miles north of the Old Hill Ranch along Sonoma Highway. It had me immediately saying prayers that the Pagani Ranch would be spared — it’s stunningly pure and absolutely glorious... think choirs of angels. As if a top Châteauneuf-du-Pape producer, like Janasse or Clos Saint Jean, traded their 100+ year old Grenache for 100+ year old Zinfandel. Giant, but radiant red fruit that has a kirsch and violet edge to it. Add in some dense blackberry to a base of rich minerality and this soars into a cloud of herbs and spices including Herbes de Provence, adding baking spice, licorice, and wildflowers along the way, with some secondary cured meat and cracked pepper which gives this the depth and complexity it deserves. Beautiful.

Candied walnut, vanilla custard, burned orange peel. Beautiful acidity but different from burgundy white. A bit heavier upfront but ends with a medium plus finish. — 6 years ago

Domaine Bois de Boursan

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2012

Very traditional and full of character. Great contrast to the Janasse and CNDP I've had lately. Lots of WC influence, old large oak. Earthy, rustic, still elegant. A core of fruit that is the backdrop for a melange of garrigue herbs, flowers, spices, and savoriness. Smoke, baked rock, and peppercorns throughout. A more cerebral expression of CNDP. — 8 years ago

Côtes du Rhône Rosé Blend 2012

Nothing better than a crisp rose on the beach. A bright, savory nose showing tart cherry and minerals. The palate is fresh and clean, with nice body; reminiscent of Herbs de Provence. Nice quality at this price point. — 10 years ago

Domaine Charvin

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2014

Tasted next to the Janasse VV from the same vintage. The Charvin was more red fruited and more tightly wound; unwilling to show all of its cards at the moment but there is undoubtedly a lot of character. Fiercely tannic. This has a bright future. — 7 years ago

Tradition Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2013

Pure and concentrated. Loads of red fruit, black rocks, sweet herbs, lavender. Very pretty wine that expresses a deep profile. Great intro to the Janasse style. Appears to be broadening out and integrating well and would be beautiful to revisit in a few couple years. — 8 years ago

Vin de Pays de la Principauté d'Orange Rosé Blend 2015

Kate Moss... Boho-chic... Pale, lean, and sexy, with flowers in its hair. Decidedly not a juicy rose, so I can see why there are so many haters. I think the wine likes it that way... — 9 years ago
