v17. Delicious, well done! Barrel room nose of fruit remnants, and toasted vanilla . Fresh, deep, rich black currant and cassis fruit. Long, slightly astringent , dry chalky chocolate and leather finish. — a month ago

From a very old vineyard. Medium color saturation. I love the nose: classic Dry Creek Zin scents of exceedingly pure spicy blackberry juice, a bit of dark raspberry, and warm sandstoney gravel. Really nice balance on the palate. Surprisingly lip-smacking acidity zips along the somewhat austere (for a Zin) and minerally flavors. Structured almost like a left bank Bordeaux. I really like this . . . but . . . it’s just a tad leaner and more reserved on the palate than my ideal. That said, this will age slowly for a Zin and would pair with a wide variety of meals. Only 14.5% alc., mercifully. 9.1 for now but may go a bit higher in a few years. — 5 months ago

There’s a bitter savoriness to this that makes it a really excellent food wine. Better on day two. — 4 months ago

Needs an hour of air then it’s lean and clean. 13.3%. Pear, apple , citrus, some herbs. No wonky oak or butter. Very nice. Would never guess RRV. Pair with wild mushrooms and polenta. — 6 months ago

The 2021 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley) is super-expressive right out of the gate. Tangerine oil, lemon confit, chamomile, spice and lightly honeyed notes all run through this creamy, inviting Russian River Chardonnay from Gary Farrell. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2024)

Fun wine to try with some age. Very light color. A bit of tar. Some doodoo. // edit: changing my tune on this one. After a lot of air and even into second day, this has turned into a real gem. Smoky smooth restrained bright long. — 5 months ago
