Very aromatic but surprisingly fresh! Guessed 2018-ish. A point! (But no hurry) — 2 days ago

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2021

Opened at the last minute after a corked dolcetto. Odd coming off of a corked Ridge Pinot from last night too. Bad luck weekend.

This was nice. No one would mistake it for old world - it has too much roundness for that. But it’s nice and aromatic on the nose with great fruit that really carries through. A nice one from the fine folks at Arietta. Great pairing with chicken thighs marinated in soy and hoisin, miso broccoli, and coconut rice.

Krug

Grande Cuvée Brut Champagne Blend

Krug is always most welcome, and Valentine’s Day is no exception. This is edition 169. A bit more yeasty and slightly less acidic than previous versions, to my taste. But if you like the Krug style - which we do very much - it hits the spot per usual.

My wife used to work with Fritz Hatton, proprietor of Arietta wines and auctioneer for Zachys. Fritz always says to have a half bottle of champagne waiting in the fridge in case you need a “midnight snack”, and I have to agree with him!

Reminds me, I need a Krug split in the fridge!

Quartet Merlot Cabernet Franc 2017

Last had this a couple years ago. Now really coming into its own. Oak has integrated nicely to where it’s just a structural element. Really nice deep fruit. Just enough acid to keep it together. Nice one. — 5 months ago

2022 Wine Tasting!! They were very close in ratings but here is how I think they shook out:

1) Clos Du Val
2) Arietta
3) Vino Cobos
4) Chateau Monbosquet
5) Cayuse Syrah Armada

Super fun afternoon!!

Variation One Red Blend 2009

In a very nice place. Unique merlot Syrah blend by a producer we have a fondness for. The fruit is between primary and secondary at this point, but still very fresh. Balanced and delicious. Decanted an hour and doesn’t need more than that. — 4 years ago
