Delectable this is the Long Acre Whistling Ridge Pinot Noir. — 2 years ago
Pale straw yellow. Understated nose (too cold, pulled from wine fridge). Pear, Meyer lemon, delicate oak. No butter thank heavens. Should have waited a year or two but could not resist — 5 years ago
The 2019 “Temperance Hill” pours a straw color with medium viscosity. Reductive at first, the nose had quite a bit of matchstick which never fully dissipated but did relax with air. But there was plenty more. In fact, this was quite the Bourgogne Blanc doppelgänger and gave me some Chassagne-Montrachet vibes. Super restrained with lemons. On the palate, the wine was dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish was long and the texture was grippy. Drink now and through 2029 with ease. — 2 years ago

Light extraction, color was definitely light. Almost felt like full carbonic on some of this blend. High tone fruit, Ludens like aroma. Brambly with Greener slightly chalky tannins maybe from seeds. Salty finish. Very interesting wine. — 5 years ago
Infanticide. Amazing nose, and so much depth after Day 1. Hold remaining 3 until at least 2023. — 5 years ago

Great again. Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to try these. — 3 years ago
Lean and mean...hint of match strike and pineapple...second whiff brings warm brioche and tart rhubarb....long tart lime and sizzling acidity in the finish. Not your “normal”new world Chardonnay, but in a very good and seductive direction. Mouth-watering and gaining gravitas as it warms. — 5 years ago
Popped and poured in a Grassl Cru. The fairly light translucent garnet color but excellent intensity present a textbook example of the difference between concentration and extraction. It initially shows evergreen inflected dark cherry on the nose, while a layer of very fine tannin latches on to pure fruit on the palate like Velcro. It broadens out and takes on more savory notes with air. Excellent now and I look forward to seeing what more age will bring to the table. — 5 years ago
