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

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

11/2025. One of my favorite Pinot Noir’s. Good fruit without over powering cherry. Paired well with my Thanksgiving meal. — 20 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. — a day ago

This 08 always is a hit. More caramelized pear this time around compared to 6 years ago — 2 days ago

Pair of 12’s with the Rousseau showing more finesse & floral than the Roumier that will need more time — 9 days ago
