Pinot a Trois 2018

9.8

Wow. The rarest E and M wine. Blend of the oldest vines from the Grand Crus. Holy crikey. This is insane. The nose has a depth that is rare in Pinot Noir and I’ve smelled a lot of Pinot Noir. Sick. 9.9 nose. Ripe late season cherries, cranberry bog, dark black cherries and sour cherries. It’s got all the cherries, but only the best cherries. Wow. Stunning level of spice and flowers. Just psycho. So complete and endless. Ridiculous. Palate is all there but man does it need air. Which I will give it. Tart cherries, cranberries and huge acidity and freshness with enormous concentration, power and structure. Long long finish that is fresh and nimble. Genius elite wine of the highest level. Tannins are big but ripe and so sweet. Cannot wait to see my score rise with air. The Chambertin. of Germany! With air the minerality on the nose shines through. Wow so airy and mineral on top of all that fruit! Man the palate is sweetening up. Tannins are getting velvety. My god this is elite wine. Insane inner mouth aromas. Keeps opening up. Now after 3 hours of air it’s just ridiculous. Nose is an orb of complexity. Spicey, feral, soil tones. Insane perfume. Cherry skins, black cherry flesh. Oh man what a sweet, velvety and insanely deeply fruited palate. Amazing delineation all the way through. A real deal 9.8. Profound. Big and soft and so precise. — 11 days ago

Joseph Swan Vineyards

Cuvée de Trois Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

We know Joseph Swan, so this wasn’t a tough choice. Smooth, only slightly fruit forward. Great whether we were having pasta with lamb or red fish. — 6 months ago

Les Trois Sources Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2014

Had this a few times, but I was finally able to sit down and analyze it over an evening. Their only cuvée produced in 2014.

Upfront, rollercoaster aromatics initially…rich, then mellowed out with an hour of air. After a few hours of air, a much more ripe CdP profile came out. Great bridge wine from Cali GSMs to bigger CdPs. Deep red in the glass with aromatics of fig, brambly red and black fruits. On the palate, big but not unbalanced. No trace of brett. Soft fig, muddled underripe black cherry, garrigue (smoked herbs); lengthy finish. Kiss of black pepper. Big Grenache vibe here. Lovely with air. Probably best in the near term based on the fruit forward structure.
