North Coast Brewing Company

Cellar Reserve Old Stock Ale 2016

Jumping spider eye bubbles mass in a parabola foam while smaller bubble sheens fill the bursting absences, until the whole becomes an espresso foam, and equally oiled. Unction lacings lean Hebraic but ultimately are the dream fonts writ by the hand of G-d. Mene Mene Tekel Parsin they seem to say before fluttering away as constellations on a starling’s back. Fair warning as this is a heavy purse to carry. Six years in and taking stock. Figs, dates, treacle, raisins, carob, caramel, vanilla bean, sweet potato casserole, bacon fat, mincemeat. Rich on the palate with milk chocolate, molasses, Turkish coffee, gingerbread, candied date, and espresso-tobacco finish. Gloriously integrated and complex complexions.

Buena Vista Winery

Sonoma Pinot Noir 2018

Respectable value #northcoast #pinotnoir from a historic winery in a more elegant style. Cherry, rose petals, medium light body, juicy acidity, touch of pepper and commendably restrained oak with light tannins. — 3 years ago

Josh Cellars

Merlot 2018

I got this as a gift and was leery given some of the previous vintage reviews here. I’m happy to report this Josh Cellars is a pleasant everyday #merlot from #northcoast CA, concentrated plum aromas, firm acidity, moderate oak with some cocoa notes and slightly soft tannins. Winemaker Joseph Carr has upped his game for 2018 - quite good QPR for just over $10. — 4 years ago

Marietta

Armé Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2017

Spicy autumn nose of rosemary and cinnamon with light vanilla and clove. Dusty oak and acorn, grape, raisin, and cassis. Peppery pointed on the palate with dark cherries and black and red currant. Black olive textured, but with tart cherry, baked plum, St. John’s wort, sloe and cassis. Dried blackberry. Amazing offering from an American producer willing to let the produce shine!

North Coast Trousseau 2015

8.1

This smells and tastes like aged #bourgogne level red #burgundy The color was orangish-pink. The nose was low intensity and the palate was missing fruit and dominated by vegetation like rhubarb. The tannins were quite drying and the finish was short. Definitely a peculiar wine. #arnotroberts #trousseau #northcoast #california #ctbucklinwine — 8 years ago
