Clos Pepe Estate

Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2009

I used an Ah-So which ended up being merely a precaution since the top of the cork looked a bit dry. Turns out it was fine. Acidity was stunning at 15 years, some dried fruit on top of cherry compote with ethereal traces of tannins at the end. Delicious SRH Pinot Noir. Miles Raymond would definitely approve! 😉 — a month ago

Melville

Estate Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2022

I loved this more in SB. Did I have rose-colored glasses, or was it because I left this out in a 90 degree car for a day. We’ll never know!
This did take a turn for the better after 30 mins. Rich, medium bodied, yum yum.

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1955

Heartbreaker. Intense fruit. Loads of character and fresh. A Mahler bresse bottling which might explain the quality. Wonderful — 4 days ago

Liquid Farm

White Hill Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2022

Tropical aromatics, slightly buttery, perfumed jasmine.

Grapey, sunshine, minerals, California breeze. Nice chalky chew.

Papaya and melon fruits combine with minerality and a soft acidity that produces a super well balanced Chablis like Chardonnay that still holds on to its grippy California terroir

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2012

A bit too thin. Might need a bit more time. Fruit was a bit immature. Length was ok — 4 days ago
