Whitcraft Winery

Bien Nacido Vineyard Pinot Noir 1992

Absolutely glorious Pinot Noir. Scorched earth mushrooms. Yummy. The toasted heads of the oak still noticeable 23 years later. An amazing effort most people will never get a chance to taste. — 10 years ago

Côtes du Rhône Red Rhône Blend 2010

Fresh grapefruit, melted bakers chocolate with undisolved sugar, rind of plum and BlackBerry (if they had rinds). Blueberry when I swallow.

Later, it's turning into sugarless cold brownies with blueberry jam

I don't taste any yellow or green, only black, purple, Brown and hints of red.

Zonda Malbec 2010

Starts very strong, feels sharp and concentrated in the mouth. Quickly opens up, turning into a very drinkable red wine. Good fruit flavor, blackberry and mild cherry. — 11 years ago

Quinel Single Vineyard Pinot Noir

Not bad! Deep ruby color. Nose starts with earth dried violets bit of smoke and bacon fat with black cherry and strawberry core. Same silky fruit on palate turning savory on the finish. Good buy for $17 — 10 years ago

MacRostie Winery & Vineyards

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2009

Having had this one a few times (2012,14), this is one is really finding a nice balance with more time. Fruit is turning away from Pom/Cran toward soft cherry/rasp...medium body and length, this still has nice tannin structure. One bottle remains - Costco $22 — 10 years ago
