Used to think Pinot Noir lives in Burgundy until I tried old single vineyard Calera. These are epic wines. Red and dark fruit, rustic woods reminiscent of walking in Bois de Boloigne on a misty evening. Slight mushroom with wet tobacco and a whiff of fresh roasted coffee. I have not tried Calera post Josh Jenssen. Ryan and Mills are great vineyards too. — 5 years ago
A bouquet of vanilla and misty mountain evening air. Nice fall spice finish. — 3 years ago
Quite nice: the structure has come together noticeably in the past two years: it’s the 2012, and it wasn’t quite balanced after 6 years but now, at 8, it works. You get nice misty earth on the nose, ripe fruit on the approach, with soft tannins and a little soft mineral on the finish. — 4 years ago
Gooseberry, lime and honey notes. — 2 years ago
Idk if it’s because we accidentally left this in the fridge for 5 years lol oops but it was AMAZING. Citrusy and goaty, with acidity and sweetness totally in balance. Tasted like misty summer woods. — 3 years ago

Sake World 2024 Had to judge given it’s the same glass throughout the tasting but this was ok. Not memorable. — 2 months ago
