Rodger's Creek Vineyard Syrah 2016

A lot going on. Red fruit and tannic. Mineral. Maybe it’s just me, but Napa and Sonoma vintage 18 wines (a great vintage) are throwing lots of tannins, across the board. A great wine that needs 4-6yr to resolve itself. — 2 days ago

Template Merlot 2020

Honestly, really enjoyed this within the red lineup we tasted. Its drinking nicely now, with some medium dark colors of garnet. Plum, blueberry, chocolate, potpourri, and a little spice. Medium+ body with rigid tannins. Might not age for long. — 5 months ago

Cole Creek Vineyard Syrah 2012

‘12 in ‘25. Syrah AF, Cherries and blood.

Bourbon cherry, fennel, baking spices. Smooth. Savory red meat/venison.

Tasted through a vertical of all their Syrahs in their wine makers office. ‘12 (and ‘16) were beautiful. Currently vintage needs more time.

Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay 2020

Fruit exclusively from the Martinelli Charles Ranch, two miles in from the Pacific, aged for 12 months in 25% new oak. Pale lemon color with aromas of stone fruits and blossom and spice. On the palate flavors of apple and pear with a touch of zesty lemon, crisp, with nitty vanilla notes. Nice mouthfeel, long finish, vivid acidity. — 3 months ago

Pedregal Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

This one is a showstopper. Complex and big. Heavy but with grace. Some really nice cab sauv components (88%) but you definitely get the petit Verdot (12%) too. Cassis, plum, blackberry fruits lead out but with some smoked cigar and tobacco leaf that is undeniable. Graphite and menthol. Its balanced perfectly with firm tannins and large acidity. Persists for a while. Gotta end the night with this one. — 5 months ago
