Dolinsek Ranch Heritage Red Blend 2023

I heard Bill Murray on a podcast recently raving about the bramble-berry pie he had the night before, describing the many berries that went into making it so delicious. It’s a fitting description for the current release of Bedrock’s Dolinsek Heritage red too, which is loaded with a rainbow of berry flavors and all their sweetness and bright acidity captured in a bottle instead of a crust. There’s an added bonus of a long, peppery finish thanks to the 70+% Zin in the field blend and some firm, drying tannins that signal a great future ahead. — 5 months ago

Faust

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Plum, mashed cherries, subtle green bell pepper, & cocoa on the nose. Amazing wine. Pure cherry cordial, cocoa, grippy raspberry pie, & boysenberry jam. This is delicious. I prefer it in a tighter glass, as it brings out the tannic backbone & the fruit a bit more. — 3 years ago

This is apple in a bottle! Very slight taste of cinnamon. This is an amazing wine! And the price is unbeatable! — 5 years ago

Three Sticks

One Sky Sonoma Mountain Chardonnay 2021

A little green in flavor (as in unripe), too acidic, but had some elements of tropical fruit, just not full and ripe. Has potential but not the best. — 9 months ago

Cherry Pie Wines

Pinot Noir

First enjoyed with Dave Roesler at Luna in 2017 or 18. It was $70. Found it for $20 this winter of 2022 at Lazy Acres and shared with the Hidegs. Also amazing — 3 years ago

Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2007

Dark purple color, opaque and heavy in the glass with a warm, inviting nose. Notes of mocha and unsweetened chocolate, black cherries and blueberries, some soil and some warm pie fruit. Fruit forward and silky in the mouth. Seductive. Well balanced. Has lot of everything going on, big and bold. — 4 years ago

Antica Terra

Ceras Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2017

Hum
9.0

Currant candies, cherry pie, raspberry jam, rosewood, blood orange and beeswax. Warm and powerful for Willamette. A bit young and taut. Maybe in five years it will show what it can really do — 5 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

At our second special Caymus dinner on Sky Princess serving this wine. I’ve had lots of Caymus wines over the years. This is in line with the brand, but not what I remember from the wines from the late 70’s. As the price increased, I lost interest. It’s ok, but I feel there are better wines at the price point for the Cabernet Sauvignon. — a year ago

Giant Sky

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

Crisp pineapple, ripe honeydew, and a hint of peach on the nose. Medium mouthfeel, bright acidity, subtle capsicum, and a crisp, dry finish. Lingering floral notes in the aftertaste. Intriguing and satisfying. Delicious with roasted/broiled asparagus. — 4 years ago
