Bella Vigna Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008

Refined silky.....no.... abstract, cunning and wildly spicy. It is everything I expect from extreme farming on the Sonoma coast. I bought this at release and is all that I imagined. — 8 years ago

Pleasant Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir

Wow, just got this Pinot from Whetstone. This is seriously good. Nose is earthy and with a big, dense fruit rush. Legs are long, but you don't get that true alcohol taste. My Riedel Som Pinot glass is brimming with a dark, almost eggplant color...every swirl releases a wonderful aroma. Just beautiful. — 8 years ago

Like I just licked a whetstone, you can taste the earth that these vines came from. Blackberry and cocoa late on the palette. Definitely needs some time to open up, but a great wine from the moment of uncorking. Very well layered. — 11 years ago

Catie's Corner Viognier

My first viognier with some age on it. Major coconut cream pie, with other stone fruits as supporting cast. Still noticeably high alcohol, but maybe because I usually drink fairly low alcohol whites. Interesting and tasty wine. — 7 years ago

El Pájaro Carneros Chardonnay 2010

Tasted with learnaboutwine group at winery 2-2014. The 2010 is optimal now - textured, round, voluptuous, achieves great fruit purity with high aspirations. Spectacular sitting at the fireplace and lengthy finish - a mouth full — 12 years ago

Olivier Leflaive

Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 2007

2007 Olivier Leflaive Grand Cru. Holy moly. So much power. So balanced. It's stone fruit and whetstone mineral drive is couple excellently with a creamy texture from age and subtle oak manipulation. So much length. This is an extraordinary wine. Gosh I love white Burgundy. Bravo. 97 points. — 11 years ago
