La Bauge Au-Dessus Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir 2008

Awesome complex pinot. Jim Clendenon's never done me wrong. Aromatic, perfumy, racy floral nose- rose, orange blossom, mushrooms, cedar, sap, dried orange peel. Palate is rich in depth opening with pomegranate, dried fig, tart strawberry, leading into hints of firewood and plums with mushrooms and chinese 7 spice on finish. — 10 years ago

Jim Olsen

Field Blend 2016

Another above-the-fold headline scoop from "Superman's Pal"! This is a dense, jammy blend with slimy smooth body. The rich dark cherry, red raspberry, and black currant flavors balance nicely. It works well as an after-dinner digestive wine. — 7 years ago

One of my all time favourites which remains one of the world's best value for money Rieslings. The vineyard's altitude lends a balance of beautiful purity of lemon & line fruit with both freshness and minerality. Fabulous, and with good potential longevity. — 8 years ago

Arterberry Maresh

Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2013

Bright red cherries, bits of earth. Pines in the breeze on the nose. Great wine with just enough of everything needed to be even more elegant and intriguing in a few more years from now. Thank god Jim Maresh's wines are not too well known around here...more for me. — 9 years ago
