Ascona Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021
Dunno what vintage this is but Cole makes great bleep and has a deft touch with Burgundian varietals. The Syrah regimen is solid but needs some detail. Like this vineyard's spice and depth of place/terroir. A producer to keep an eye on.
Ok sorry will add the vintage when back.

Burgundy style with a touch of natural Funk which is not bad, below that is gravel and red brambly fruit.  — 2 years ago

Misty Gulch Vineyard Chardonnay
One of my favorites of my recent Santa Cruz visit. So reductive but bright. Zippy and addictive, I kept coming back for more. — 8 months ago

Not familiar with this vineyard but familiar with the producer and the area. This wine is going places. Personally gave the 2019 a 9.3 but super subtle currently. Think it will show more personality within a year and a half.

Ascona Vineyard Syrah 2021
Another nice and stemmy syrah from these guys. — a year ago
@John Howard winemaker Cole is killing it with the chards, Syrahs and Pinots. Winery even threw out a Cab/Cab Franc/Nebbiolo blend that was phenomenal for the price two or so vintages past (haven’t seen in in a few years). Love that Ascona Vineyard stuff. Had a “wowzers!” Arey Vineyard chard two years ago that really went places. Fairly under the radar-for now-and still underpriced and that’s fine with me but it’s only a matter of time before the rest of the world catches up.
@vinokeeno totally. We actually live right by Ascona and our friends live there and manage the Vineyard. Beautiful spot.
@John Howard Nice! Small world.

My group did not like this wine - 8 tasters. But they are wrong and not used to whole cluster wines. This is very nice especially next day! Complex, touch eucalyptus, orange peel, dark tart cherry, touch cardamom, hint mint, very tannic at the moment. Lacks a little bit of weight. — 2 months ago
