La Rioja Alta

Gran Reserva Viña Arana Rioja Tempranillo

Ja, dit hebben we niet elke dag. We starten bij 12gr en dat is al gweldig. Cassis en kreupelhout geuren het glas uit. Tabakkig, zwarte bessen, zwarte kersen, kokos (?), leuke lik vanille, melkchoco. Perfecte ondersteuning van tannines en zuren. Blijft lang hangen met nog wat inkt en menthol helemaal op het einde. Supér! — 3 years ago

Mary Elke Chardonnay 2014

Nose is flinty, burned popcorn, oak, butterscotch, Werther's original, burnt wood, but on the palate it is confusingly crisp when compare with the nose. Impressions of Toaster leavings and caramel. — 8 years ago

D Pinot Noir 2012

This is actually elke ranch fruit but no label as it was in magnum in Eric's cellar.
Killer Pinot that just kept unfolding in the glass. Went from a candied strawberry tone to earthy and tobacco tones. Years of life ahead.

Donnelly Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

An Elke-based wine, from when she and he partnered out of her winery. Dusty and faint grape jolly rancher in the glass. Boysenberry, slightly pine-y, and wet stone on the nose. Sour cherry, stem, mossy, and touch of leather on the palate. A layer of smoke and pear on the finish. Deliciously rustic, with nice subtleties. Opens up over 2 days nicely (opened in Dec 2019). The best kind of "garage wine', right here. — 5 years ago

Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Rosé 2014

Vinous Favorites
8.9

The pale-colored 2014 Rosé Elke Home Ranch, 100% whole-cluster Pinot Noir, is an absolutely delicious wine to drink now and over the next few years. Bright, perfumed and silky on the palate, the 2014 offers up plenty of bright cranberry and raspberry notes in an appealing crisp, bone-dry style. (AG)

Donnelly Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir 2007

A farmer turned producer. Mary grew grapes for many of the big names before starting her own tiny little label. I keep thinking this 07 will be ready to drink but it continues to improve. Not even close to peak yet. The 94 overall rating on delectable says it all. Great pinot. — 8 years ago
