Nectarine, white peach, rhubarb, herbal. Local summer. Iykyk. — 2 hours ago

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

La Tâche Pinot Noir 1989

Dark, deep tawny color. Translucent. Funky nose. Notes of red fruit, sandalwood, rhubarb, sweet candied cherries and some cured meat. Nice mouth feel, but maybe a little thin? Clearly from a high end producer, I guessed 90 Dujac CSD. — 2 years ago

Red Ass Rhubarb Red Blend

Quintessential to the history of South Dakota was homemade rhubarb wine! This is a great representation of what tartness can do to balance the sweetness inherent in some of the non-grape wines. Like the tart cherry wines of Michigan, this is iconic of South Dakota. Love it! — 2 years ago

Turley

Pesenti Vineyard Paso Robles Zinfandel 2017

9.2

Along with a vintage bottle of Roederer’s L’Ermitage, I always open a Zinfandel on the 4th of July. Perfect pairings for grilling out and a relaxed day!

I’ve had the Pesenti a few times now (this is my first with the 2017), and it’s always a different beast to me than other Turley zins. In fact, I’m consistently shocked this is a Paso zin as I’d expect this to taste 2-3times as intense. I decanted for two hours, and then consumed over the next 2-3. Ruby in the glass, immediately on the nose this is spicy. Potpourri, black peppered black cherries, underripe raspberries and blackberries, and cedar on the nose. The body is nowhere near as rich as you’d expect, and the acidity is really nice and nervy. It lends to the profile having a spicy and tart mid palate. Rhubarb and peppercorn crusted pomegranate dominate here. It wears its mid 15ABV well. Would be curious to see how this changes with age…

@Pinotman /// Andreas it’s been quite a delight to taste these older E and M wines. It’s a good decision to have drunk them early IMHO.

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2008

Full of life
Intense and vibrant
Quite complex
From plum to rasperry
Rhubarb to dates
Cinnamon to chestnut
Incense to licorice and quite irony
Perhaps just a touch warm at the end but hopefully it might adjust with time
Long and truly enjoyable

Domaine Dujac

Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1989

I brought this, my last one of these. Opened and decanted 5 hours before serving. Bright tawny and almost opaque. Awesome nose. Seems young. Notes of bing cherry, asian spice, sandalwood, some dark earth and some rhubarb. Rich and silky in the mouth. Velvet glove delivery. Awesome wine. My red WOTN. — 3 years ago
