Marin County Pinot Noir 2018

Fair amount of new oak currently dominates, redfruits, somewhat ripe and rich though I was expecting less ripeness, nice body and balance, needs some more time in the cellar. — 9 months ago

Proprietor Grown Marin County Pinot Noir 2014

Love this. Great balance. Tart/ripe cherry side of things. Oak comes through very strong but it’s so balanced that it works. Could decant for an hour or so. Glad I have another bottle — 5 years ago

Reward Ranch Sangiovese 2018

I like the light touch on the extraction here but just a tad too much new oak for my taste. Delicately colored, with a boisterous nose that shows sappy, ripe but tangy red fruit, some nice moist gravel, and a floral note, but a fair amount of coconutty new oak. In the mouth, it’s not overly extracted and shows nice purity of fruit, but the oak flavors seem a tad too prominent, and there is significant oak-derived tannin in the finish. If the oak had been less prominent, this would have been a doozy!

UPDATE: On night 2, the oak is still prominent, so much so that this reminds me very much of an older style (American oak, light extraction) Rioja. Tasty, but not really indicative of Sangiovese.

Shenandoah Valley Syrah 2018

Lovely dark red color. Complimented with a fragrant nose of cherries, blackberry with black olives all expressed when drinking with a nice mouth feel. Finishes nicely with a lingering dark fruit flavor with that taste of black olives as it finishes. — 3 years ago

Starfire Petaluma Gap Pinot Noir 2019

Strawberry candy nose (Hard candy)

Medium bodied - a steady stream of acidity, from start to finish and beyond.
Strawberry, watermelon, the slightest brush stroke Thai basil, that licorice type of mint.

Solid wine,
