Aston Estate

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2015

Aston was one of two Pinot projects by Schrader, Boar’s View being the other. I believe it’s now solely under TRB’s helm.

The winery makes just two bottlings: one mostly from sourced fruit, and this, from 100% estate vines. The nose offers ripe plum, cranberry, black cherry, cedar, a touch of baking spice, and steeped tea. The palate is generous yet lifted by bright acidity, with a hint of sweetness on the long finish. Should have 5–6 more years of prime drinking ahead.

Drum-tight presentation throughout. Nose presents sirop de cassis and blueberry pie. For a 15 vintage, this still presents as premature.
Palate is a dream. Laser-focused and broad shouldered. Zero tertiary notes on the palate, just rich dark fruits and muscular tannins. Yours truly had to get in on the action here. Thanks to Drew for opening up his cellar!

Boars' View The Coast Pinot Noir 2014

2014 vintage. Tasted via Coravin. Heavy body still. Plummy nose. Some swirling flavors about but a little out of sorts currently. That pinot noir for cabernet drinkers. 04.23.25. — 4 months ago

There are prizes for coming in 2nd if you're factoring in QPR...Schrader rolling in at $350-$800-. Unfamiliar with this particular wine but a Darioush or Sinegal offshoot. Half the price of Schrader? Same price? A third?

@Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego, you make a good point, to a point. Now I’ve enjoyed the Schrader, I’m shipwrecked as my mean point has been readjusted upwards.
