I expected more from a #singlevineyard release from #kumeu and that has been touted by the likes of #jancisrobinson must be an #mw thing. Too expensive for what it delivered. Better off with the #estate wines of Kumeu. #newzealand #pinotnoir — 2 years ago
Nuances of raspberry, leafy earth, rosewood, and lavender. Medium plus mouthfeel that exudes dense, ripe plum and scorched raspberries, with a soft note of rosemary, rose petal, nettle and tar. Porcine notes. Excellent stuff! #pinotnoir #Boedecker #pinot #pn #singlevineyard #burg #oregonpinotcamp #oregon #Dundee — 4 years ago
Dusky cherry, lightest bananas foster, pomegranate reduction, raspberry-violet mocha and dried oregano. This is rich vapor with a depth of complexity. Good structure and black cherry brims with silken tannins. Coffee and cola under leather-plum umbrella over raspberry beret. The kind you find in a secondhand store. Classic Dundee. #BoedeckerCellars #Boedecker #pinotnoir #oregonpinotnoir #oregonpinot #singlevineyard #Stoller #StollerVineyard #Dundee #dundeehills #dundeehillsfinest #orpinotnoir #orpinot #clone777 — 4 years ago
Strong earthy nose of oak bark and loam. Black cherry, blackberry and currant reduction, cinnamon sticks and clove inform the nose. Plums of red and black just underripe, tart cherry, dried raspberry, tarragon, rosemary, dried violets and graphite shimmers. Young and juicy, much more to give! .

Chocolate ganache nose sows lime zest and cedar, vanilla panna cotta, lemon tart, hazelnut, absinthe film, and orange rind across a semi-hot surface that resembles an exotic, forgotten cocktail; tea biscuit, lavender and creme caramel. An olfactory feast that endlessly inspires. Soft and warm palate with herbaceous thyme, chive, cilantro, basil afloat on vanilla-caramel, lemongrass, tea tree oil, bay, lemon zest, lime pith, and candied lemon. Cappuccino and bakers chocolate, spun sugar, dark brown sugar, apple blossom honey, treacle, baklava, pine nut, pecan, and coffee cookie. Most interesting is the layers of cascading flavors maintain their original impact while generously allowing the next to shine seamlessly. I have had this many times sans analysis, without fully appreciating its impeccable composition. A triumph! .

Smoky raspberry, lavender, vanilla and cran from the nose continue onto the palate, which exhibits concentrated raspberry, teas, and tart cherry, with an epic finish #pinotnoir #sonomacoastpinot #westwood #singlevineyard — 4 years ago
85% #garnachablanca 15% #chardonnay from a #singlevineyard in #somontano #spain #handharvested and carefully whole-bunch pressed lightly to give the finest and fruitiest expression of the grapes fermented with wild yeasts to express the terroir. The vineyard, “El Llano” is 2.5 hectares and is the highest in Somontano in the #pyrenees at 700m. Above sea level. 4 months on fine lees in stainless steel. 90 Parker 92 Suckling — 2 years ago
Lime, lemongrass and sweet grass-cucumber,, baked lemon and phenomenal white pepper nose. Creamy lemon, lime zest, extra virgin on lemon verbena, lemon oil, and an ever burgeoning creaminess. #julestaylor #julestaylorsauvignonblanc #julestaylorOTQ #otq #nz #nzsauvignonblanc #marlboroughsauvignonblanc #nzsauvblanc #sauvblanc #nzsb #singlevineyard — 2 years ago
Funky cheese on fallen lime. Earthy white mushroom and leek, hazelnut and brined cucumber slices. Bright and sharp citrus that illuminates the whole. A slight creaminess rounds the lime on the palate like a key lime filling, lemon pudding, crystal lemon, soft chive, underripe yellow apple, lime pith, orange juices that in a blink turn lemon; fresh, transparent cilantro sword flashes. #moutarddiligent #Chablis #ChablisGrandCru #grandcru #Chardonnay #singlevineyard #Valmur #DomaineMoutardDiligent #bourgogneblanc #whiteburg #WhiteBurgundy #Thanksgiving — 4 years ago

Baked raspberry and strawberries, minerally river rock smoothness, black cherry, smoky dried cran.
On the palate rich raspberry and cherry candy drive-by, dried cranberry, and violets. Top notch Pinot singing long and loud arias to tug the heartstrings.
