Duarte Vineyard Zinfandel 2009

Great recovery

Williams Selyem

Vista Verde Vineyard Pinot Noir 2001

Garnet just starting to intrude on the deep red color. Stewed strawberries with a hint of smokiness in the background.
Brandied cherries brings flavor and sweetness to the pallet. Tannins have subsided.

San Giusto a Rentennano

Rhys Vineyards

Alpine Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008

Big, dark-fruited with some high tones of red and some white pepper, anise and meat to the point I thought it was cold climate Syrah at first. Over a day it warmed up, gave up some more candied notes. Layered, interesting, still quite firmly backboned. Give this some serious time. BTW no "smoke taint" to speak of — 9 years ago

Smoke taint would have been Mendocino County fruit not SCM.
