Trout Gulch Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

13.5%. Quite fruit driven. But oh so much fun to drink. Raspberry, mostly touch tannic. Good acidity - seems to me little or no oak. Lush. Light. Drink now. Not a wine for the ages. — a month ago

Trout Gulch Vineyard Pinot Noir 2011

Nicely restrained nose, signature trout gulch. Lots of gentle dark fruit (i heard black raspberry and I agree), a touch of earth, subtle florals and slight tannic grip — 2 years ago

Lemon curd and a zesty acidity that lands with some sweetness and then bite.

Pairing with an avocado really mellowed this wine out and made it delicious.

Lots of tension and bright lemon citrus flavor. Touch of lime.

Trout Gulch chard from the vineyard owners. Unmistakeable and a fraction of the cost or A-R or Ceritas. Solid. — a year ago

Ceritas

Trout Gulch Vineyard Chardonnay 2016

I keep opening these too young. This has to be my favorite ceritas chard bottling. All the GC Chablis comparisons are spot on. Nose has candied lemon and tangerine, seashell, flint, and a kind of musty maritime quality. Bracingly acidic and saline. Begs for raw bar. Should continue to deepen with time. I think I have one more and will try not to touch for another 3-5 years — 2 years ago
