Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Dairyman Vineyard sits in the southern alluvial plains of the Russian River Valley near the ocean, a region where cooling fog comes in through the Petaluma Gap in the morning and once again in the evening. Medium Ruby color, with aromas of berries, tea and spices. On the palate flavors of raspberry and tart black cherry with herb, cedar and cinnamon. Fine tannins, medium+ finish with lively acidity, good structure, ending with fruit and cedar spice. — 10 days ago

DRC Night at Secrets Moxché in Cancun. Held up better well. Color is pale garnet, brickish. Notes of old church, library, dried roses, medium body, acidity still vibrant. Long finish. Past its peak, possibly, but extremely intelectual wine. — 6 hours ago

Deep pink color. Aromas of pomegranate, lychee and grapefruit. Red fruits on the palate, tropical fruits, grapefruit and floral finish. Superb!
