Patz & Hall

Chenoweth Ranch Pinot Noir 2018

This was juicy but not too much of a fruit bomb. Layers of strawberries and cherries with a subtle earthiness. Mineral driven palate complemented by great fruit on the medium plus palate. 30+ second finish. Wish I had another. — 9 months ago

Pagani Ranch Heritage Sonoma Valley Red Blend 2019

9.4

Dark ruby with bold, intense juicy dark cherries, blackberries, plums, spice and oak on the nose. Medium body and medium tannins that give room to a nice acidity. Cherry pie, dark berry jam, tobacco, bayleaf and clove on the palate lead to a beautiful medium long finish with notes of caramel. Beautiful wine with complex notes that keeps evolving as it decants. — 3 years ago

Snowden

The Ranch Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Comparing to the 13 last night...
This is not quite as big in alcohol. Even more opaque. More silky on the tongue. Instead of a green front I got a little spice, nutmeg. Tannins were softer. In sum, I give the slight nod to 2013 Snowden over 2012 Snowden. Experiment complete.

Bruce Phillips and his wife were pouring their 2021. Talked w/ him at length. Very nice couple.

The 2021 showed well young with room for improving with 10-25 years in bottle and beyond. It showed some evolution, wasn’t all primary. Elegant, very well balanced with excellent structure and finish. Drink 2033-45 properly stored.

The general Napa consensus on 2022 vintage will be a story of did you pick before or after the 6 days of extreme heat during the harvest window. One producer told me his would add 5% of 2023 to some of his 2022’s, which is allowed. He mentioned that he was going to add 15%. But, I think he just misspoke? Get ready for an amazing 2023 vintage from Napa. It was a cooler, not hot-hot, which was a near perfect growing season for long slow even ripening. Some say a vintage of a lifetime and others would only say exceptional.

The Saturday-Sunday Pavilion tasting at Pebble Beach Food & Wine is an excellent four hours to taste a lot wine, taste curated dishes from chefs from all over the country and meet the people behind the bottle. These short ribs were one of the top two or three things I tasted at the Pavilion Saturday.

Suscol Ranch Napa Valley Merlot 2016

2016 vintage. Initial taste surprised with an aged taste, and a bit of a bitter finish. Improved with air time. Primarily black cherry, with some hints of pepper, oak, leather, tobacco. Ended up being decent but initially was questionable. — 7 months ago

Secret info blast….. the more a winemaker has to adjust the process of fruit to wine ( more ‘winemaking ‘…The shorter the life span of the finished product .

Bergström Wines

Gregory Ranch Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir 2018

Nose is plummy. Maybe a hint of stewed fruit.

Palate is sweet plums. Somewhat modern texture. Half way between Cali pinot and burgundy.
