Twelve Clones Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir 2018

Light purple in color with light intensity and a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, light flowers, spices, light oak, licorice, tobacco and black pepper.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with sweet raspberries, cherries, red currants, earth, light wood, coffee, black pepper, spices, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf and herbs.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 8 year old Pinot Noir from Santa Lucia Highlands is drinking very nicely now, and will continue to do so in the next 5 years.

Elegant and nicely balanced, complex and entertaining. Soft, smooth and easy drinking.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food. A good porch wine too.

Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019

Big ol’ Pinot… if by name only

Heavy body….. deep ruby color.
Musty, earthy nose
Powerful Friit - maybe black cherry
A touch earth / bitter lingers. A touch of oak.
Zin / Cab vibes
Nice glass of wine…

Garys' Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015

. This Garys did not disappoint; loaded with fruit, flowers and spice notes all around. Taste had the same and a bit of cola and some minerality. Very smooth finish just a very enjoyable wine.

Last bottle of Garys, in fact no more Rosella and Pisoni either. Always thought the Garys’ were the best. Rosella were okay and forget about the Pisoni. Pisoni were either so over the top it was undrinkable and then another bottle was stunning - stopped buying them early on. Still have a bunch of Roar’s Sierra Mar and SLH. But over all, prices too high and I’m too old to hold wines for 5 to 10 years before drinking them.

Swan Terrace Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir 2009

Nice, cool-climate California Pinot Noir. Good red and dark fruits on the palate. I served it a bit too cold, but as it warmed up, the earthiness that this wine is known for came through. I don’t love California Pinot, but Rhys almost always impresses me. — 6 months ago

Alpine Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013

#AgedWineTuesday

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.

Complex on the nose, and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and soft.

Showing cherries, plums, currants, light oak, tobacco leaf, herbs, black pepper, chocolates, light vegetables, Indian spices, licorice and black tea.

Long finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious 13 year old Pinot Noir from Santa Cruz Mountains in California. Drinking beautifully now, elegant and fruit forward. Nicely balanced and soft. Complex with a nice mouthfeel.

This Single Vineyard Pinot Noir, from the great 2013 vintage, is drinking at its peak now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

A good sipping wine that will pair nicely with food too. Loved the low alcohol level too.

12.8% alcohol by volume.
