René-Jean Dard & Francois Ribo

St. Joseph Blanc White Rhone Blend 2018

A decent but very lean Marsanne with little signal from Marsanne, not to speak Rousanne — 3 years ago

Rôtie Cellars

Southern Blend Washington State Grenache Blend 2016

After three unsuccessful Piemontese pulls to go with my Piemontese dish, I finally decided that the wine pairing gods were sending me a signal, so like Justice William O. Douglas, I went west, [not so] young man. And this Grenache-based blend was very nice. Nose had warm, mossy stones, warm kirsch, roasted herbs and campfire. Mouthfilling fruit on entry, but very quickly turns savory and minerally. A bit more tannic than previous vintages I’ve had of this wine. — 4 years ago

Bedrock Wine Co.

Dolinsek Ranch Heritage Red Blend

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. — 2 months ago

Turley

Old Vines California Zinfandel 2019

New release of Turley’s Old Vines Zin, one of the great bargains in wine in my book. Zinfandel from historic parcels across CA that deserve a single vineyard bottle but are just too small. This year’s opens with a musty, berry nose and a clear ruby color that don’t signal how rich the wine is. Mouth coating, violets, kirsch and pepper — loaded with flavor and a long finish. — 3 years ago

Signal Ridge

The Princess & The Peasant Mendocino County Carignan 2016

Love the varietal just not sure about this wine is the penultimate expression. Takes some time to open up but once flowered it’s nice. A bit fruity but not overly so which is a plus for me. Smooth with a nice finish. — 5 years ago
