Domaine de la Côte

La Côte Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

2017 Memorious Pinot Noir ⁣
2017 Bloom’s Field Pinot Noir ⁣
2017 La Côte Pinot Noir ⁣
2017 Sous le Chene Pinot Noir ⁣
2014 Sandhi Blanc de Blancs ⁣

All Pinot Noirs were delicious. Memorious tasted some spice with black pepper. Bloom’s Field showed darker fruits. La Côte was fuller in body and riper on aromas. Sous le Chene had the best concentration and the most complex profile with hint of wild bouquet. The Blanc de Blancs was refreshing with a tad of funkiness, possibly from VA and a little oxidation, 3 years on lees, all adding to the character.⁣

What’s especial about Sous le Chene is that it’s sourced from this 10 rows of vines literally right next to La Côte but you can somehow really taste the difference between the two. ⁣

Domaine André Morey

Savigny-Les-Beaune Pinot Noir 2009

Very interesting to taste this pitted against the Sandhi Pinot posted just previously. Similar in so many ways yet so different! Foraged strawberries, earth, rosewater. Tannins with a light grip like a partner lightly squeezing your palm during a horror film even though they claimed to be fearless. Bright, restless acidity. Smart and worldly. Alive and well. — 7 years ago

Anika Bien Nacido Vineyard Syrah 2016

Outstanding Syrah from Bien Nacido Vineyard in Santa Maria Valley, a site Rajat Parr has been exploring for a number of years (some, in collaboration with Piedrasassi) to craft a California Syrah to match the northern Rhône best ones (if you've read Rajat Parr's Atlas of Taste, you know he's obsessed with Thierry Allemand). Lively, balanced, delicious. — 6 years ago

Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir

Oh my goodness, here is goodness itself. Such an accessible poem this wine. Forthcoming wild strawberry jam and bark and sweet smoke like incense. It's like when someone remembers the things you love, the things maybe you even forgot you loved, and tries, really tries, for you and their effort engulfs you and they don't see that consideration in themselves but it's so vivid in your eyes. — 7 years ago

Bent Rock Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2014

THE. BEST. DOMESTIC. CHARD!!!!!! Yes, yes, yes. I'm blown away. This is the best domestic chard I've ever drank. This particular vintage is killer. I could poor this in a lineup of top notch Meursault and none would be the wiser, that's how good this is. Intense smoke/funk brought on by minerality that most domestic producers could only dream of. A legendary wine in my book. @June's All Day, Austin TX — 8 years ago

Evening Land Vineyards

Scythians Chardonnay 2016

Nose begins as a dull flint, with some petrol. Needs 5 minutes of air for the fruit and oak to unfurl. Really shows after an hour open. Incredible energy and length, which is reminiscent of Sandhi, though with clearly different typicity, showing less of the lemon/lime thing and more of a full, buttery popcorn thing. Everything’s decently integrated, for the age. — 6 years ago

😲!!!! I've fallen in love. This is ethereal juice. Svelte, lean, orange peel, wild strawberry, cranberry, game, flowers, funk. So complex. The nose pumps out aromas out of the glass. One of the best pinots in all of America. @June's All Day, Austin TX — 8 years ago
