Painted Rock

Estate Grown Okanagan Valley Syrah 2021

2022 vintage.
Painted Rock has always been one of the best producers in British Columbia.
Aromas of deep black fruit black flowers and perfumed.
Rich and juicy. Black berries, spicy raspberries and so smooth on the finish.

Pappy Van Winkle Malt Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 10 Year 107 Proof 2024

Brandon's bottle was better than mine. A little heat, a little sweet. Honey, cornbread, cinnamon, tobacco. Tight, clean finish.

Uh Dave, I don’t know this Brandon guy but I’m calling someone on the table. We review the Gold versus Van Winkle and rate Gold a bit below. Ok. Fair. But what’s with the Grand Pappy in the background and the invite in my mailbox missing?! Something is way off ;) looks like a great night. At some point I do want to try bourbons with you!

Yeah! 'Twas a good evening. I didn't get around to reviewing a few bottles, including the Pappy. You'd be upset if I did (it was disappointing) 😬 We did pour some Rock Hill Farms which was outstanding.

Siduri

Van der Kamp Vineyard Pinot Noir 2001

This lovely Siduri Pinot Noir is very dark-colored, big, rich, old vine mountain fruit (my recollection is that this is an old β€œhead-pruned” Pinot vineyard, at elevation??), I can see criticism that it’s not really β€œPinot Noir-like”, but like the older St. Innocent β€œFreedom Hill” Pinot Noirs, these wines last a long time, so even if it’s too β€œbig”, it’s rich, intense and complex!! But, you wouldn’t ever guess, β€œblind”, that this was a red Burgundy. I happen to like it, as it seems youthful and fresh, with further aging potential. β€” 4 months ago

Very unusual for a PN from 24 years ago to clock in at 14.6%. But glad it’s enjoyable!
