Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 2012 “Bacigalupi Vineyard” pours a deep, slightly cloudy, garnet color with a translucent core, moving out to a watery rim. Medium+ viscosity with very light staining of the tears and some signs of light sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with ripe and dried black and red fruits along with black pepper, green herbs, damp forest floor, decomposing woody elements, and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. This was tasted alongside the 2012 Hallberg-Dijon and, while a bit more interesting (gotta be some whole cluster happening), it’s also showing its age and the structure is showing signs of spalling.

Perfect deep garnet color. Fruit way too subdued for a 2019. Nose was flat. Jordan is a tried and true California cab. But this bottle was not a good showing for the $56 bucks at Costco. Just a nice red wine. Sorry — 7 days ago
Well balanced RR PN, not too fruit forward or under matured. Solid — 2 months ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 2012 “Hallberg Vineyard - Dijon Clones” pours a deep, slightly cloudy, garnet color with a translucent core, moving out to a watery rim. Medium+ viscosity with very light staining of the tears and signs of light sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with ripe and dried black and red fruits, damp earth, dried flowers and sweet baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin (integrated) and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. The fruit is the center of attention here and it’s big, a bit out of shape and at this point, nearly popping buttons. Drink now while the structure is keeping it together. — 4 months ago
Light Chardonnay. Citrus and lemon. Well put together wine. — a month ago
Medium lemon color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits and nutty toasty notes. On the palate flavors of peach, citrus and pear with vanilla and flinty notes, creamy texture. Medium+ finish, lively acidity, ending with fruit, nuts, toasty oak and savory citrus character. Nice! — 3 months ago
