One of the better in the under $20 Oregon Pinot category I've tasted of late, the 2014 Pike Road is an off shoot winery managed by the Elk Cove team. Replete with twiggy black tea notes, rose petals, cranberry compote, iron ore and dried blood, it's clean and linear on the palate, more red fruited than black, with bright acidity that dwindles to a slightly herbaceous, rustic finish of fresh bark dust, spice, and mulch.

Light nose for a St Joseph with a hint of grilled meat. Pretty fresh and an initial taste of fruits and iron ore. — 10 years ago

100% new oak (no american)
Deeper with a great depth of blue & black fruits an iron ore mineral note, bit like a used red leather purse with bright red lipstick. Very plush in the mouth with rich, spiced black fruit, plush tannin and a long black fruited finish. — 10 years ago

Way too young; opened in honor of a friend. Big bold black fruit up front, savory herbs, cedar, and tobacco are rounded out with complex tannins and a long finish of smoke and iron ore. Can't wait to see where this one goes in a few years. — 11 years ago

2003 still showing a dark concentrated core of uber ripe fruit, mineral notes of cold iron ore, and a long black pepper and eucalyptus finish. — 12 years ago

Such a neat wine. Crushed red currant, aspirin, black tea, iron ore. Edgy tannin matched by lengthy acid. Reminds a lot of Aglianico. — 10 years ago

9.0

Earthy nose of black truffle, copper, and spice. Full and velvety texture with dark brambly wild berries, iron ore, some pepper, tree bark. Strong dusty tannins. Definitely needs food of some sort. Strong cheese, lasagna, steak with porcini mushrooms. — 10 years ago

A very attractive nose with good purity of black fruits and a sweet liquorice perfume. Palate has elegant fruit, silky tannins that ore soft & enveloping, classy finish. Shiraz as it should be! — 11 years ago

9.4

Intense, powerful and masculine; inky black to the core. Brooding black fruit, tar, scorched earth and meat juices integrate well with a long finish of iron ore and blood. Not a wine for the timid; wear your grown up pants for this one!!! — 11 years ago

I would love to revisit this after its had another decade to develop, the 2012 Yves Cuilleron L'Amarybelle is classic Saint-Joseph, with complex layers that unfurl at a leisurely pace, revealing notes of blackberries, balsamic, damp tilth, incense, bay leaf, pink peppercorn, and violets. On entry, the initial impression is one of silkiness—a bit deceiving, because there is ample power and persistence on the finish, and a burst of acidity followed by masculine tones of iron ore, garrigue and spice. 12.5% ABV — 9 years ago

Abruzzo straordinariamente vero!
Si fa fatica a lasciarne una goccia nel bicchiere...è la bottiglia finisce.
Bevuto dopo 4 ore dall'apertura che sono a mio parere necessarie per goderne a fondo. — 10 years ago

Some of the more interesting wines from France and Italy are being imported by Kermit lynch. This appellation on the Mediterranean Sea was made famous by Kermit he lives here half the year and raised his kids here part time also. A blend of Clairette and ugni blanc you notice the sea a light briny note a slight waxy texture medium bodied very light and refreshing finish. Ore classic style vintage nice complexity with a chalky clay like mineral note. Finish 40 excellent biodynamic farming used here. — 12 years ago
