Pike Road Vineyard

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2022

Wines from Oregon are not easy to access in Australia so it was great to be offered this one from Prince Wine Store in Melbourne. Mid crimson - transparent in parts. Spiced black and red cherries. A lolly, confectionery jujube like note. Pike Road is the sister winery to Elk Cove. Lovely drinking right now - not for the cellar. We used to buy Oregon Wines when our son was at the University of Oregon in 2007-2008, but we have pretty much run out. Great to revisit Oregon Pinot. — 11 days ago

Delicious acidic green apple flavored Chardonnay. Lighter in color and flavor then the Chard I'm use to. Drinks beautifully! — 5 years ago

Deus Ex Machina Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2005

This magnum was a gift from co-workers at my old job when I left to take a new one. Nice coworkers! So rich and resolved. This wine reminds me of Neil Young’s Vampire Blues. “I’m a vampire babe. Suckin’ blood from the earth.” Grenache pulled from God’s earth. Incredible intensity and length, but still entirely in balance. Length for days. Iodine, stones, blood. — 9 months ago

The Left Bank Red Blend 2014

Dark and supple. Taste of blackberries with mild black pepper aroma. Virtually no tannins it’s smooth to sip or pair with something light ... or even pizza. 😊 casual, unpretentious and tasty. — 4 years ago

Sakana dinner 11/18/21 with Wilson/Mabel. What a wine! Deep golden color more akin to older Sauternes and a honeyed floral nose laced with acidic tones. Caressing stimulating lively texture that dances effortlessly on palate but still with sense of weight. Long overly finish. Matched the courses except for the Sanma Pike Mackerel where somehow it highlighted the fishiness. Otherwise it simply melted in and added to all the different flavors. Easily beat out Wu sake and dry Grand Cru Riesling. Found the perfect wine for the Omakase! — 3 years ago
