Great, simple table wine. Abundant fruit without any sweetness. Perfect amount of oak smokiness to add character without being overpowering. Wonderful expression of NY winemaking. Reminds me of great homemmade wine! — 7 years ago
A delightful Pinot. On the nose graphite, smoke, licorice, and tart cherries. On the palate bright cherries, leather, dark berry medley, anise, sweet pipe tobacco, with hints of game. While not generally my style this is a PN I actually wouldn’t mind having on hand due to it being a quality, approachable expression. — 7 years ago

Always really enjoyed this producer, wish we could see more on the market, love the citrus intensity mixed with the classic lactic quality. Great stuff. — 9 years ago
When my pal, Ian Cauble, MS, tells me it's the best rose on the market, I figured I had to try it. He was right. Typical Bandol complexity, bone dry, strawberry, and much more. Great for pairing with food. — 9 years ago

2014 - San Martino della Battaglia is one of the smallest DOC in Italy, that counts 30K bottles for 8 producers. This white is based on Tuchì grapes (actual name for Tocai), it represents a bold move to reaffirm its past identity and visibility to the market niche of Tocai/Tuchì aficionados. An amazing small jewel to discover on the southern shores of Lake Garda. — 10 years ago

Pretty pumped to find some Envinate wines at a little wine shop in the heart of Seattle. Grabbed this guy to see what all the hubbub about Ribeira Sacra is all about - and it did not disappoint. 85% Mencia with a field blend of local varieties rounding it out. Gorgeous alluring nose of fresh market black cherries, cherry candy, violet, and a bit of musky earth. Beautiful crunchy red fruit and textured cinnamon/clove spice plus a bit of graphitey (we’re gunna pretend that’s a word) minerality. Beautiful wine, and again, very gluggable. Wish I had more of this. — 7 years ago
Nice. Covers all the bases: leather, cedar, gravel. Still had some fruit as well. Alcohol a bit noticeable on a otherwise good finish. Why aren't there more library releases from petit chateau on the market? — 9 years ago
Rediculously delicious bottle of pinot. And yes if Gary's name is on it, I buy it. Family owned Star market in Salinas has the best selection of local wine. Shared it with my girl Patrice and the waiter at our local in Malibu — 9 years ago
Soter's 2012 Mineral Springs 'White Label' Pinot Noir has a rather unique story in that it is crafted from an unidentified "heirloom" clone. Who cares what the clone is, the results are spectacular. The perfect combination of concentration and finesse, the nose is a romp through a damp and earthy forest glen, fields of lavender, and then to the market, to find juicy blackberries and blueberries at their peak. Equally lush, almost brooding on the palate, with underlying layers of minerality and spice. Pinot reserved for the white label is aged 12 months on 50% new French oak, with 30 days extended maceration and minimal racking. 14.0% ABV — 10 years ago
