The 2022 Viognier K Art Den Hoed is spicy in the glass, wafting up with exotic florals, lime and young peach. It’s nearly glycerol in feel, with saline minerals and zesty acidity to balance. Sour citrus offsets ripe pit fruits. This tapers off spicy with medium-length and dried apricot notes. $20.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, August 2023) — a year ago
I quite enjoy this Saxum GSM blend. 43% grenache, 29% mouvèdre, 18% syrah. Paso Robloes. Wild, purple flavor (like K syrah) with lots of tannin and fruit left. Tasty. $140. RP 97 pts. — 2 years ago
The 2021 Pinot Noir Jessie James Vineyard lifts with a finessed blend of dried black cherries and rose petals offset by dusty stone and hints of lavender. This is lifted in feel, with textures of pure silk engulfing the palate in a cloak of ripe wild berries as savory spices and touches of blood orange slowly drench the palate. It finishes long yet fresh, displaying a peppery tinge as a web of fine-grained tannins lingers, and a minty freshness slowly fades. There's a lot of potential here, but patience will be required.

This lovely wine was a gift from @James K because he knew it was my favorite vintage.
An old world / Napa style with low alcohol and higher acidity. A little green - guessing this was picked early? Color is starting to show age with a little bricking on the edges. Similar story on the nose and palate. Just starting to show some age on its 10th Bday. Nice leather throughout. Fruit is stewed plum and dark fruit. Grippy tannins that go on for awhile to finish off. This is going great with a little salami, cheddar, and olive plate. Thanks James!

Great tasting last night of wines below with @Justin Stephens and @Andrew Bohi over Zoom with a great group of friends including @James K. We missed @Vanessa and @J Greene.
It seemed everyone had a different favorite which speaks well to the quality and consistency from Hunnicutt. My WoTN was the Brinkman.
Dinner at Our Paladar in Rochester, MN. If you’re in the area or visiting, you have to check it out! Food and people are amazing!

I’m blown away. Best Merlot experience to date. Great fruit, acid, balance, and mouthfeel. Already have an email in to get more. Thanks @James K — a month ago
