Andrew Lampasone
9.2

A blend of 75% Pinot noir and 25 Chardonnay. This champagne house is only 10 years old but their family has been in champagne for several generations. More complex with all the fruit coming from the 2009 vintage and this wine is aged for over 3 years this wine has a full bouquet of white flowers almond with pear and quince like fruit. A good amount of richness on the palate fresh fruit very fresh. Very rich but lovely freshness and lovely balance. Finish 45+ excellent + — 10 years ago

Zinfandel 2009

Literally one of the best Zinfandels (and wine overall) I've ever had. Whatever Duane Rieder is doing bringing grapes back to Pittsburgh from California, it's working. Dark, smokey and jammy. Reasonable at $62 restaurant pricing. Found it at Original Fish Market. — 12 years ago
