The replacement for the 2010 Bucher Vineyard that showed just enough V/A to dump it.

The 08 Westside Road Neighbors was in fine shape. Love their fruits & profile at this age.

God there are times when CA Pinots are sooooo good. At 7 years the young fruit has mellowed but its still kind of got a candy flavor.

Big cherries, raspberries, strawberries, nutmeg, Asian spice, chalky elegant finish. Perfect pair with the rack of lamb.

2008 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 10 mins-2 hrs. Super small amount of sed in the dregs. Vibrant nose and relatively balanced early on but picked up some overt tartness after lounging in the decanter for an hour. Medium body. Decent showing and maybe has 3-4 more years at this level before dropping down another notch. 9.23.23.

Beautiful bottle of Westside Rd Earthy with Asian spices. Great side by side with Cobb 2008 Joy Rd.

Subtle nose of red currant, definitely some backbone for a Pinot Noir, quite enjoyable, but not good value in light of price
