Bodega Finca La Pared

Edmond Cornu & Fils

Le Bois Roussot Ladoix 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2019

2019 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 5 minutes. Medium-medium heavy body. Fairly fleshy. Big primary fruit with little nuance evident currently. Would probably be happier with this in 5-8 years where the nuance would have crept in and the overt fruit pared down a bit. 05.28.25. — a year ago

Le Orme Barbera d'Asti 2015

Dragonette Cellars

Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2009

Very pleased that this 2009 vintage tasted better than the disappointing 2010 vintage I had a few months ago. Muscular and interesting, with enough fruit, tannin and alcohol remaining after 11 years to demonstrate its Central Coast origins. Enjoyed this with a pared down Thanksgiving dinner of Julia Child’s Caneton aux Cerises instead of turkey. A calculated risk, and worth it. — 6 years ago
