11/2023. Deep purple, medium nose and nice on the palate. Paired well with the petite filet at Hall’s Chophouse.

I’ve had the. ‘19 & ‘20 vintages and both were good. — 6 months ago

Holy cow. Opened yesterday, notes from over 24 hrs open. So much better than my last btl: everything has fallen into place. On the nose: soft mushroomy funk, black cherry, wild strawberry, spice, soft leather. On the palate: fantastic acidity, wild strawberry, cinnamon spice, good density, very hi-toned, and soft, very finely-grained tannin on the finish. Yum. — 4 years ago

2001 Ridge Monte Bello. Date night at Jar. Amazing. Didn’t decant, let it open in the glass. Dark fruit on the front, plush velvety texture, mineral, smoke, ash on the finish. So smooth. LOVE. Do NOT decant! — 4 years ago

This one comes from a certified sustainable farm, with blackberry and dried cranberry character, a bit sweet and fruity at the end which makes it perfect for drinking by itself, it won’t go wrong with a nice steak! — 5 years ago

Lovely and dry, fruity, probably tastes more expensive than it probably is. Served at the Whitney. — 5 years ago

Great value at $25. Well balanced. Jammy but not overly so. Dark fruits with creamy chocolate aromas. More dark fruits, chocolate, oak, and a touch of spice. Smooth finish. Pnp. — 6 years ago

In a wide-bottom decanter for 3 hrs and it needed every minute. On the nose: black tea, wild strawberry, soft bubblegum. Amazing acidity and good density, stony minerality, bright red fruit leaning wild strawberry. Soft tannin on the long finish. I wanted to see how this was tomorrow, but it was such a hit that it disappeared fast: eminently drinkable; 12.8% ABV to boot. Wow. Better than I remember my last btl being, if still very primary. — 2 years ago

Can’t beat this dark, delicious Zin for the price! It’s got a nice mouthfeel and at $8.99 from Costco, I could drink it every night! — 5 years ago

Unexpected and delightful - Pinot Noir from Southwest Virginia! From vineyards planted at 1800 feet (big diurnal range and early harvest), this silky wine sang with notes of loam and damp earth, maitake mushroom, cranberry, red cherry, raspberry compote, boysenberry, violet, lavender, black pepper, toast and wood smoke, with bracing acid and medium-plus tannins on a medium frame. A long, satisfying, and juicy finish. One to seek out that proves how careful site selection and winemaking skill can produce superb results from innovative grape/region combinations! — 5 years ago

I have a mag of this, and FOR SURE I will let that one sit for a while. This pinot is SUBSTANTIAL. Brambly black cherry and cola, a little mint. Herbal with a black peppery kind of finish. This wine can cut through just about any dish. The cola note in the middle of this wine is quite enjoyable, and goes to show you that this wine in 750 needs to hold 1-2 years, but needs to hold 10 years en magnum! So far, this is my favorite of the 2016 PN's from Rivers-Marie, although I'm actually not sure if I'm doing this a service or disservice by rating this one a 94 at the moment as I feel that it is likely capable of pushing higher than this (yes, for a pinot). — 6 years ago

At the vineyard for a tasting with Kathleen, Jay and Josie Barton, Jenny Rhodes. A bit less tannin than the 2020. Bolder than the estate Pinot Noir. — 2 years ago

Last bottle of this very good HHH cab. A bit more meaty and rustic on the nose than the last bottle that I can remember. Lightly candied fruits, round acidity, and polished tannins are coming together nicely. At its peak, but should stay here for another 4-5 years.

Keste pizza at home. Drove deep into the mouth of the beast (Manhattan) to get this. Reminded me of the film “Dawn of the Living Dead” when we drove through Meatpacking district.
We’ll get thru this, I’m sure of that. Pizza is 99 pts.
This bottle was an outlier, relative to what we normally experience from this producer. — 4 years ago

This is wonderful - a nose of fresh ripe sweet red strawberry, morphs into some raspberry. Acid builds perfectly into a balance of fruit and acid with the prevailing strawberry note at the center. Finishes also fruity with just a tinge of green fruit but just a hint, and a I mean a hint, of chalk. This balances the finish beautifully. Really world class rose. — 5 years ago
