Domaine Des Vignes du Maynes (Julien Guillot)
Cuvée 910 Clos des Vignes du Maynes Mâcon-Cruzille Pinot Noir 2021
Wildcard. Prob my fav cuvée from Julien. Tasted aged even tho it’s a 21. Flowery quality to it, like roses, potpourri.
[2019 Vintage:] “A captivating, translucent ruby red hue. Even on the nose alone, there is already a suggestion of ripeness, yet it is utterly enveloped by fragrance: white flowers, grapefruit, cherry, even stony minerals. Really classy and effusive, replete with sapid pinot-esque flavours of enviable concentration. The vintage is quite magical here: all pure, palate-staining but also inexplicably airy in the mouth. The mouthfeel is silky, culminating in a persistent, gentle and thoroughly sweet-fruited long finish held together by an invisible frame. Like the ethereal cuvée Auguste, trails of crushed flower petals replicate and repeat on the lingering finish.” AC
“Guillot brings a unique perspective to gamay—not quite Burgundy, not yet Beaujolais—not only in his Mâcon Rouge and Mâcon-Cruzille, but the mysterious, radiant, field-blended Cuvée 910.” Jon Bonné — 5 months ago
Domaine de la Côte
Bloom's Field Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
Strawberries, eucalyptus and plums on the nose, maybe even a lil crushed raspberry on a medium body, with a ruby core with purple hues through the edges. Old world styled, gripping tannins and dry, with prominent eucalyptus, ripe plum, cigar smoke, and tart cranberries and maybe even a lil tar. Definitely could use some time to soften, but still beautiful! — 3 days ago

Fun well balanced blend of lots of grapes and always slightly different but always delicious. A good choice to go with food. Had with Philly cheese steak sandwiches. — 3 months ago

Rippon Vineyard
Tinker's Field Mature Vine Pinot Noir 2016
Medium deep ruby , wide rim with a hint of garnet . Quite serious on the nose, more mature perhaps than expected, with notes of undergrowth , ripe strawberry , red cherry , raspberry, cranberry , iris , earthy notes as well . Refined but still quite juicy on the palate , more of those red fruits, red cherry and cranberry , touch of spice, that classic star anise note does appear . Refreshing acidity and fine but noticeable tannins. Good length , with just a hint of spice and appetising bitterness, nicely balanced. This is nice to drink now though I think this will continue to improve for another 3-5 years perhaps and last well a further 5 -8 — 4 months ago

NV. These are the freshest, dankest hop aromas of the three bottles I’ve enjoyed. My daughter said it smelled like weed (🤔). Paired really well with roasted vegetables and goat cheese stuffed piquillos. — 20 days ago
