Domaine Maume

Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 1999

At first very delicate, almost like a rose petal fading away; at second, it gained some weight and grip; but at the finish, one of the most composed and confident NSG in my recent memory. Thanks #eliewineco — 9 years ago

Pelissero Pasquale

Bricco San Giuliano Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2011

2011 Pasquale Pelliserro "Bricco San Giuliano" Barbaresco - decant for 2 hours. Lean and elegant with dried rose petal, saddle, mineral and cherry skins with moderate tannins and great acid. Should be left alone for at least 4 years but I couldn't wait. Great vintage in Barbaresco, Hold it. — 9 years ago

Rodney Strong Vineyards

Estate Vineyards Pinot Noir 2012

Nice and clean, enjoying it with and without food. It has a touch of oak, which is very pleasant, and lends to the toasty vanilla notes that the label describes. On the first evening I opened it I tasted cherries and thought it was lovely and balanced. I also got the hints of florals that the label names "rose petal". However, on the third day, I struggle to detect the cherry and florals. But that doesn't come into play in its' score (I don't usually leave a wine bottle with wine in it for three days). Overall, I would like to have this wine in stock and at home, and I would recommend it to all my Pinot Noir enthusiasts. — 10 years ago

Mike this will still need a few more years to shed some its tannic structure but certainly has enough fruit & complexity to dive in now. Cheers!

Ruinart

Brut Rosé Champagne

Tonight begins another weekend and we have to start it off right. I have heard so much about the Ruinart Rosé Champagne so I finally had to try it out. 55% Pinot Noir, 45%Chardonnay then there is 20-25% blended from the previous 2 years.

On the nose are loads of intense fresh red berries, ripe strawberries, fresh cherry, pomegranate, mint and rose petal floral notes.

On the palate is fresh effervescence of cherry, fresh strawberry, red currant, blood orange and lime.

This is a medium bodied wine with medium + acidity, clean, well blended and elegantly fresh. A beautiful enjoyable drinking champagne. Let's all have a great weekend and please be safe. Nostrovia! 🍾🍾🍾🍾

Domaine de la Côte

Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2012

Light purple with hints of orange and brown. Medium-light body. Opened slightly tightly with notes of cola, earth, and bark. Some air (2 hours) revealed a rose-petal, cherry skin nose, and a lovely jammy palate. The medium to high acidity balances it very nicely. Some earth remained throughout. Very nice - recommended! — 10 years ago

An overall translucent red with a broad crimson core extending to a thick ruby border with a thin orange brick rim.

Tactile sensations initially dominate the palate, high levels of acid and chalky astringency linger with medium plus alcohol 13.5%ABV but ultimate reveals a seductive mouth filling, medium finish featuring fresh red fruit perfume, ripe red cherry,basil, black pepper, and a touch of savory bacon, black olive, and wood smoke — 8 years ago
