First Summa Vineyard from my allocation. It is quite nice. Still needs a few years.
The body feels thicker than other Pinots I’ve had. Plum pudding, dry cranberries, poached strawberries, blackberries, black raspberries, highlights of pomegranate & blueberries, mix berry cola, licorice nibs, dry herbs, moist volcanic clay, limestone marl, dry twig, dry crushed rocks, some grilled meats, dry tobacco, used leather, barrel shavings, nutmeg, clove, cinnamon & vanillin, fresh & withering, dark, red, flowers, excellent round acidity and a well balanced, tensioned, structured with a well polished finish that lasts a minute. — 3 months ago
Light in body, cherry forward pinot juice. Nice, different, and a Tuesday. — 4 months ago
Beautiful layered aromas of apple honeysuckle and spice. Expansive pallet w apple, nut and toast. Finishes a touch bitter — 4 days ago
Showing dark ruby. Ton of structure. Overpowered by tannin on first open. Will revisit rating in a few hours. — 4 months ago
2022 Joy Road - Dark purplish with fruit, spice, and hint of licorice. Smooth finish. Excellent — 4 months ago
Great Napa cab. In a good spot but could last a lot longer. No rush to drink. — 23 days ago
The recently released (3/24) Bodega Theriot Chardonnay from Rivers-Marie is excellent. Sunlit straw color, subtle nose, beautiful white fruits, crushed stone and the slightest bit of oak at the back to round it off. This should gain depth from its existing heights! — 3 months ago
