Birchwood Estate Wines

Joseph Swan Vineyards

Trenton View Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2010

9.3

Wow. Burgundy, ladies and gentlemen. Light, but powerful. Menthol, dirty raspberries and birchwood. Awesome acidity on the palate...nothing extracted about this. All the red fruits. Potpourri. Lavender and red flowers. The aromas are incredible. — 6 years ago

The 3 CT people who agreed upon a 2013-2017 "best enjoyed between" must really be kicking themselves if they have 0 of these left. This one is JUST STARTING to show what it has. Caramelized raspberries. Bit of nuttiness. Dry raspberry preserves. Delicious. This wine is just starting to show what it has. I am very impressed by this wine. It will continue to develop slowly over the net 5-10 years. Amazed.

Chappellet

Napa Valley Cabernet Franc 2014

9.2

Chappellet wine dinner. I've not had much of their wines and wanted to see if they are worth a visit when we are out for our yearly Napa trip in February!

I wanted to like this more than I did. I love cab franc! This was good, but having had The Pritchard hill cab franc before, it's hard to compare 🤷🏼‍♂️. Red fruit filled decadent chocolate, with birchwood, cedar, and currant. This sucker will age nicely though. Tannic even after the hour of air. — 7 years ago

Blue-Slide Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir 2004

Shay A
9.5

People must be out of their minds to give this Pinot an overall rating of 8.8. This is one of the most profound domestic pinots I've ever tasted. Blackberry and strawberry fruit but no tartness. Birchwood and a touch of smoke. In a PRIME drinking window. If you have this, don't miss this window! — 7 years ago

Gap's Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir 2011

9.4

Our monthly 4th Friday event at the storage facility. No requirements, just wine you want to share with others! Always an enjoyable time.

Gap's crown may be my favorite vineyard for Pinot. The fruit that comes out of here is so powerful and in your face. KB is able to get a bit of restraint out of this, but it can't fully tame it. This is a wild beast. Blackberries. Nutmeg. Birchwood. Solid backbone. Serious pedigree can be tasted throughout! — 7 years ago

Birchwood

Decades McLaren Vale Shiraz 1998

JKT
9.1

CVed 8/19/17 comp with RBJ. NOT CAB. Dark Ruby color. Nose of mature mushrooms and autumn leaves and dark berries and peppery notes. Firm body and nicely resolved tannins and good length. Great value from Acker auction at $18. RBJ as was in Iceland. Slightly lighter in color and body with that minty note and not as concentrated but still a nice wine. Turns out very different varietals! A blend of equal parts Grenache and Mourvedre. PS shockingly good with Bahn min pork. Score raised to 9.1. opened 2/24/19. Cork broke but wine is fine. So CV worked well. Same comments. Good value. — 7 years ago
