Twelve Oaks Estate Willamette Valley Pinot Gris Rosé 2016
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)
Romanée-Conti Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2006
This is a subtle thrill. Gorgeous aromatics and a palate to match, it has neither the power of the Beze nor the backbone of the liger belair, but it will probably outlive both. Such is the magic of wine. I desperately hope to have another bottle in a couple of decades, but it was great to enjoy a bottle in its youth. Like listening to an early Mozart symphony, it's not where it will be, but it's thrilling nonetheless! — 11 years ago
White Rose Estate
White Rose Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013
This has to be one of the most exciting and inventive producers in Oregon! Went through a flight in the tasing room and the things theyre doing with stem use, oak experiments, pump over technique and terroir exploration is like mozart meets dr frankenstein. The wines are flawless and unforgettable. This one is pretty on the nose. Floral and woodsy like potpurri with dried citrus, red currant and soft raspberry. Whole cluster gives it weight and depth while the perfectly balanced acid keeps it lively delicate and light on its feet. Not to be missed. — 9 years ago
Eric Pfifferling (Domaine de l'Anglore)
L'Anglore Véjade Pays de la Vaunage Mourvedre 2010
Holy. Fucking. Shit. This wine is amazing. A red from Tavel. Stunning. A marriage between funk and floral. Coltrane meets... Mozart? Wow. — 12 years ago
Buccella
Merlot 2010
It could have been Mozart, or perhaps the Hawaiian sunset, however this effen killed tonight. Violets, dark chocolate, luscious blueberry, creme de casis, and everything melds harmoniously when it gets some air. Over the span of 95 minutes the wine evolved and enraptured, stunning really. Saved it for last bottle of trip and it delivered. Enjoy. — 9 years ago
Viña Cobos
Bramare Luján de Cuyo Malbec 2010
Rich like a billionaire. Nose is greeted with lovely ripe rich dark fruits, and homey spices like cinnamon and clove. Complex like Mozart. Rich tannins. And a delightful aftertaste of red fruits. Can I have another bottle please? — 10 years ago

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon for David Zinman conducting the BSO through Mozart and two Schumann pieces. On cello today is the amazing Yo-Yo Ma, his first weekend appearance this summer and the Lawn is packed!
Bright cherry and red raspberry, medium acidity, long finish, possibly our favorite OR rosé of the season. — 8 years ago
