Sonoma Valley GMS 2021

2021 vintage. Last tasted 01.25.24 (9.2). More depth afoot in assorted palate draws and body. Spice and tannin evident vs fruit altho enuff of the f-word to keep things honest. "GMS" a play on the usual GSM CDP shizz. This is drawing in power as we speak. Give it another year+ if you can. 01.15.25. — 14 days ago

El Diablo Vineyard Grenache 2016

2016 vintage. Quite a bit of zip and spice on the finish currently but tight. Needed a decant and two hours of quiet time by itself before going on stage. 3.18.23. — 2 years ago

Durell Vineyard Hayfield Block Pinot Noir 2017

2017 vintage. Lighter color along with light-medium body. A bit dirty about the collar and slightly unkempt. Inexpensive for the quality. Tobacco, dirt and red fruit flitting here and there. Definitely not your average, Sonoma plushy/rich, fruit-bomb. 01.15.25. — 14 days ago
