Founders' Reserve Pinot Noir 2022

Beautiful Pinot. Nuanced and balanced. The subtle earthiness nicely in harmony with the dark cherry fruit notes. Satisfying finish. Why don’t I score it higher? — 10 months ago

Marvelroast

Reddish amber color a surprise as Turkish coffee mocha latte just jumps from the bottle. Dark chocolate sea salt with caramel, and roasted nut evocations; all in a darker tonality. Bubble-gator lacings smooth in a viscous river. Bitter arabica and cacao nut greet the palate with honey comb and bee pollen. Brazil nut, cappuccino cigar, Java, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg sarsaparilla and cola. Lip smacking as your palate politely asks for a replay. Quality conjuring with smooth talking flavors. Rich, decadent and enticing without compromising its power. Joe cool.

Double Trouble IPA

It’s been three years since my last review of this little slice of double trouble. Loose and thorny crown of creamy white with cartoon bone lacing plus bubble font. Golden overall, but reddish tinges turn it pink. Banana bread, with honey butter, a bit of molasses and orange marmalade scented, but the breakfast stops there. Healthy dollops of of honey buoy herbs de Provence, golden apple, juniper sharpness, lemon-arabica, pecan, and extra lavender. .

Goose Island

Bourbon County Brand Stout 2019

Chocolate and vanilla all day. Shocker, lots of bourbon notes. It actually tastes like a slightly boozier version of Founders Backwoods Bastard, despite being a stout and not a scotch ale. Will let this one age another year or two before I have the next bottle. — 5 years ago

Rasa Vineyards

Founder's Reserve Columbia Valley Red Blend 2019

The 4th release of Founder’s Reserve. A slightly different cuvée than the previous three versions of Founders Reserve. The wine pours a deep ruby with a translucent core, no signs of sediment; medium viscosity. Medium+ intensity with a mixed fruit set on the nose: blue, black and red fruits with spices and purple flowers. On the pallet, the fruit is generous. Confirm the mixed fruits, some black pepper and baking spices. The finish is long and with medium, dusty tannins and medium+ acid. The wine is dry and the finishes long. Better after significant air. — 3 years ago
