Ten Estate Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2011

Black cherry, sage, and sandalwood aromas accompany the cherry, pomegranate, and spice palate. Medium full bodied with excellent balance. In a great spot now. — 20 days ago

Sea Smoke

Southing Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2019

Red plum for days. And clove, violets, pomegranate and cranberry.

Reminiscent of a riper Morey St Denis.

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

Bright ruby garnet with quite narrow garnet rim . Quite closed at first with mineral , cassis , sous bois , cigar box , touch of smoke . On the palate very intense with lots of cigar box tinged cassis , blackberry , cedar , coffee. Gritty but integrated tannins , fresh acidity . Very long and complex on the finish . This is still young but is starting to show what it can do , perfectly balanced and enormously long . Precise and for Las Cases very elegant . Now and for the next 10-15 years . — 2 months ago

Sea Spray Blanc de Noirs Sta. Rita Hills Sparkling Pinot Noir 2018

These are getting better. The last one I had was a bit wound up but this one was expressing juicy flavors of cherry and ginger with fine bubbles. — 2 months ago

Thierry Allemand

Cornas Reynard (R) Syrah 2007

Always some of my absolute favorite wines. 07 Reynard is in the most perfect place, perfumed, layered and searingly intense with dark fruit, campfire smoke, olive tapenade, violets and a liquid rock minerality. The palate is simply seamless and one of the most complete Allemand wines in recent memory, with incredible complexity, definition and a saturating texture. A top notch Reynard that’s just rocking right now. — a month ago

Estate Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay

Love. This. Wine.

Day two with a bit of airtime after being sealed with wine2pro overnight

Golden color. Solid oak without being overly sweet. Good acidity to balance oak. Finesse in the finish.
