Canary Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir
Still got it! Fantastic balance between lingering primary red fruits and full-on tertiary goodness: pomegranate, dried cherry, dried cranberry, mushroom, sage... if you got it, drink it! — 4 years ago

Novelty Hill
Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Legit WA CS here, very traditional nose, varietally correct, not overextracted or overdone. Really enjoyed the cassis, currant, mocha and subtle herbaceous notes. On the palate it was well balanced, sturdy tannins without being clumsy, more rich varietal flavors leading to modest finish. This is a Blue Collar wine, lacking elegance but built solidly. — 9 months ago

Chalk Hill
Estate Bottled Chalk Hill Chardonnay 2013
A classic California Chardonnay nose. Full and rich with notes of oak and butter with just a touch a white peach and stone. Lush and full on the palate with a nice touch of spice. Creamy flavors of stone and smoky oak lead more subtitle flavors of spice box and citrus pith with big, lush acidity. The finish is full and warming with touches of white pepper and lingering acidity. Thanksgiving wine #2! — 7 years ago

Rodney Strong Vineyards
Estate Vineyards Chardonnay 2010
Slight vanilla and crisp smell. Some pear too. Taste has some bitter and sour notes but malactic makes it a little smoother. Minerally. Better with food. Had butter garlic clams. — 11 years ago
J. Rochioli
Little Hill Pinot Noir 2008
2008 vintage. Had never come across the "Little Hill" until today. Light-medium body. Decanted and was fairly musty for 2-3 minutes before it started to blossom. Some blue fruit/menthol/eucalyptus throughout the experience. Demonstrative spice component on the back end. Could really only ding this on being slightly "watery" on the front palate. Otherwise, this is kicking now and has plenty of life and love to give. 5.27.23 — a year ago

Jolie-Laide Wines
Windsor Oaks Vineyard Pinot Gris 2014
I love this wine. I love this wine because it exists all the way at the 'painstakingly clean and precise' end of the skin-contact spectrum. Don't get me wrong, I love the super-natty wild and wooly and of the spectrum too. But this. This is so purely and exactly what it sets out to be. And I love it. — 7 years ago
Wind Gap Wines
Windsor Oaks Vineyard Pinot Gris 2013
Standing up for a day was not quite long enough, but managed to get most of the gunk to settle out. Best at cellar temp, and a really lovely match with spring vegetable fettuccine. Herbs and marmalade and tea and great texture. That color tho... — 8 years ago

So, Freedom Hill PN has always been a wine that always was so tannic and structured, that it was easy to mistake for a “weird” Cabernet back in the day. This 1999, nope, is nothing like that, yep, a little more structured, but effusive redfruits and lovely balance, definitely on point tonight!! — 9 months ago
