Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2010

9.3

This 2010 is in tip-top form.

Beautiful, ripe fruits; blackberries, black raspberries, plum/black plum for days, cherries, strawberries, raspberries & some pomegranate highlights. Cinnamon stick, clove, nutmeg & soft vanillin, black teas, mid berry cola, both licorices, fresh tobacco, used leather, steeped black tea, limestone minerals, some charcoal, pepper, grilled meats, dark spice w/ heat, sandalwood to cedar, dark, withering flowers with violets, grand acidity and a balanced, well tensioned/structured, elegant finish that lasts minutes and falls on spice.

Even adding the plum reduction sauce, the 2011 Burnello is still the better pairing.

Expressive, surprisingly rich, and energetic. But also a touch heavy especially on day 2. — 8 months ago

Ripe cherry and plum fruit, with licorice, tobacco and earth. Muscular and well balanced. Wine is

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2010

Relieving-ly sound. Sweet nose and subtle Piedmont rays at odds with the young tannic finish. — 6 days ago

Valdicava

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2010

Solid showing but perhaps the bottle was a bit off. The wine had a puckering lingering element. It was still very good. Just not the balanced fruit focused effort I am used to. This vintage is great and other bottles have been better. Here is to the next one! — 2 years ago
