9.1

Tasted along side the 2014 Patz & Hall Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir and 2013 Durant and Booth Pinot Noir.

Solid ruby red. Herbaceous nose with red berries and a touch savory on day one. Day two opened up with some sweet spices, earthy notes and dark currants. A bit harsh on day one on the palate with tart strawberries on the attack, a savory undertone and steely finish. Day two the tarty notes disappeared and brought on some more savory notes and red berries. High lingering acidity (7/10) and medium bodied. Medium plus finish. Needed the second day to become more integrated. Give it a nice decant if drinking now. Drink till 2023. — 7 years ago

Mix of garnet and ruby red. Integrated nose with smoky and savory notes with a touch of dark fruits. High acidity (7/10) and fine tannins. Dark berries on the palate and a touch savory. Cherry cola notes on day two. Medium body and medium plus finish with a touch of minerality. Nicely approachable and drinking well right now. Drink till 2021. — 7 years ago

Super nez.
Le vin n'a pas cessé de changer durant le repas - trop chaud et un peu lourd à l'ouverture, il est devenu plus "fin" avec un peu de fraîcheur, tout en restant bien rond.
Agréable pif ma foi. — 7 years ago

I think this is my first Oregon Chardonnay, and it definitely makes me want to seek out some more because this is very nice. Showing some development; I'd drink now if you've got one because I think from this point on it's going to start getting tired rather than much better but this was very pleasing nonetheless. Stylistically, this one is drinking somewhere between the leaner styles of oaked California stuff and Côte de Beaune white Burgs. Pours gold of moderate concentration of color. Nose has moderate concentration of aroma, and consists of salted lemon, chalky, crushed oyster shell minerality, baked yellow apple, hard aged cheese rind, baking spices, white chocolate, and a touch of hazelnut and savory truffled character. Palate is more focused and linear than the nose might suggest with more emphasis on the citrus and saline mineral characteristics. Nice complexity. Brisk high acidity, body is medium/borderline medium (-); the only issue i have with this wine is that I wish it had a bit more weight and concentration in the mouth. Really enjoyable stuff. Very alive, aromas keep shifting as the wine gets more exposure to air and warms up. After a while the nose developed a kind of cinnamon buttered toast character that was super nostalgic for me, reminded me of childhood. — 7 years ago
