Vista Verde Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

Ruby color, purple edges, with pronounced aromas of red fruits, floral, herbs and complex spice. On the palate concentrated flavors of raspberry, ripe plum and black cherry with orange citrus, herbs, vanilla and oak, soft tannins on well balanced structure. Full body, rich long finish, ending with fruit, vanilla, floral, spice and oaky tones. Very Nice! Will age!

Derbyshire Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

A most interesting wine. Needs 30 minutes.

Nose: soft cherries. Library dust. Gorgeous cherry flowers. Like a 9.5 nose.

Palate: silky texture. Lovely early season cherries. A touch of vegetal notes. These go away with air. Juicy. Cherry spice. Delicious in an elegant way. A hint of savoriness. Texture is elite. Pure silk.

Psycho finish. You get that lingering elegant spice.

Limestone Ridge at Vista Verde Vineyard Chenin Blanc 2022

At first I found this medium bodied, slightly creamy, with prominent stone fruits, white peach and cumquat, with a prominent minerality and slight notes of cheesecake on the nose. Now it’s emerging much more dry with air, still a long, mineral driven palate, still medium bodied, but beautifully balanced and definitely a contract to many California white wines when it comes to complexity and nuance. — 8 months ago

My Favorite Neighbor Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

9.2

Mo had this at 94, I had it at 92. For me, it was nice, but bone dry, and lacked density and that sweet finish I like from Cali wines. This concluded somewhat bitter for me.
