My surprise of the day. I didn’t expect there to be much here as I know these don’t have a great track record for aging, but this was an outlier. Blood orange, rhubarb and herbal black cherry aromatics. Sporting nice acidity with cherry cordial and sandalwood. Drink up. — 7 years ago

A really nice Pinot in the PRIME of its window as we speak. This wine was ALIVE. Lots of black cherry, dirty raspberry. Hint of orange peel. Still quite a bit of sweet character on the finish combined with an herbal character. Still with more acidity on the finish than I thought it was going to have. Really impressive Pinot. If you have any of these, I'd have ZERO discipline to hold them any longer (in all honesty I don't think I would even HAVE any due to the lack OF...).

Interesting. Have never had a Kosta that didn’t age well.

I was going to say what a great early drinker this is and then I looked at my previous note and I said it all! These are so tasty, the only downside of this wine is that there is never enough. — 8 years ago

An impactful, bold, full of character & taste Pino Noir. This is not a thin Pino as it is strong & thick with legs. A nice blend from multiple vineyards. This was a birthday present from my in-laws. — 10 years ago

Hirsch Vineyards

San Andreas Fault Pinot Noir 2011

My WOTN at the Charlotte Hirsch dinner, showing what proper aging can do to bring out a wine's fine points and soften its rough edges. All the elements of this wine were working together in harmony. Soaring floral aromatics, deep, rich fruits and a wonderfully smooth, long finish made this wine a real pleasure to drink. The more Hirsch I drink, the more I realize that patience is rewarded with their wines. 2011 was widely panned as a tough vintage in CA, but this 2011 was absolutely singing. — 8 years ago

Pretty classic Sonoma Pinot after getting some air in the glass, pretty heady nose of roses, and sweet red fruit, and lighter in the mouth, nice acidity, but didn't blow me away. Their sonoma coast chard was electric and awesome, this was just alright — 10 years ago

This is one of my favorite Oregon pinots year in and year out! Subtle and very Burgundian, but also very complex and always well made. It always gets better over the course of the evening and usually ends upas everyone's favorite! Delicious! — 11 years ago
