Eola-Amity Hills Dukes Family Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022. Bought 3/25 $52. Waited too long to describe, but know it's good — 2 months ago

"Odedi"

9.1

Pretty color of ruby with a wide reddish rim.

Light nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and complex.

Showing red cherries, currants, black plums, light oak, spices, herbs, earth, chocolates, licorice and peppercorn.

Medium finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from Pauillac. Spicy and fruity. Smooth and elegant, with good structure and balance.

This 10 year old still feels young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.

Robert Parker 90 points.

I had a few different vintages of this wine and it is very consistent, and much better with age.

Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will pair nicely with food too.

A blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot. Aged in (60% new) French Oak barrels for 18 months.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

Pommard Clone. Bought 3/2025 $52. Delicious like all other ED PN. Rich fruit, smooth long finish. Better once had a chance to open up. — 2 months ago

9.1

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Red and blue fruits on the nose with chocolate notes, light oak, spices, light vegetables, herbs and tobacco leaf.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate, with black currants, blueberries, sweet cherries, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, tobacco leaf, peppercorn and a hint of green tea.

Long finish with fine-grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 7 year old Red Blend from Napa Valley's Stags Leap District is drinking very nicely now. Fruit forward and tasty. Soft, smooth and spicy. Well balanced and complex.

Needs 3 hours in the decanter to open up properly, so be patient. Will continue to age nicely over the next five to seven years.

A blend of 52% Cabernet Franc, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec, 3% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot. Aged for 18 months in 80% French oak barrels (30% new) and 20% American oak barrels. A small production of only 9 barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

This is a delicious rosé, 52% Mourvèdre and 48% Grenache. The fruit is wonderfully ripe and the wine has some right to it making it very flexible at the table. Strawberry, raspberry, cherry, red currant, plum, blackberry - there is a lot to love in this crisply acid wine — 3 years ago

Garrigue, wild herbs, some lavender as well, the bottle doesn’t say, but Delectable shows a “Syrah cuvée” and a “Cabernet Sauvignon cuvée”, and this clearly seems Syrah, nicely balanced, savory, no excessive heat, this is quite nice, longish finish. [Checked my source, and this cuvée is 52% Syrah, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 23% Carignan.) — 5 months ago

Purple in color with a purplish rim.

Strong nose of black and blue fruits, cedar, vanilla, licorice and chocolates.

Full bodied and soft with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, blueberries, cedar, licorice, cola, chocolates, tobacco, spices and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very tasty GSM blend from Chalk Hill in California. Fruit forward and elegant. Spicy and entertaining.

Showing good balance with nice complexity, and a soft mouth feel.

Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself as a sipping wine.

I had it before, and this time I gave it a light chill and had it by the pool.
Paired nicely with the French Brie cheese.

A blend of 66% Grenache, 21% Syrah and 13% Mourvèdre. Aged in Hungarian oak barrels. A small production of only 2,600 bottles.

14.5% alcohol by volume.
