Do yourself a favor and follow Esther Mobley on Twitter. She’s the Wine, Beer & Spirits writer for the San Francisco Chronicle and her reporting on the wine country fires is extraordinary... “1880s vines at Old Hill Ranch in Sonoma Valley. Gone” (photo credit to her also).
I had to open the 2015 Bedrock Pagani Ranch Heritage from Morgan Twain-Peterson MW (pictured right) which is also from 1880s vines and just a few miles north of the Old Hill Ranch along Sonoma Highway. It had me immediately saying prayers that the Pagani Ranch would be spared — it’s stunningly pure and absolutely glorious... think choirs of angels. As if a top Châteauneuf-du-Pape producer, like Janasse or Clos Saint Jean, traded their 100+ year old Grenache for 100+ year old Zinfandel. Giant, but radiant red fruit that has a kirsch and violet edge to it. Add in some dense blackberry to a base of rich minerality and this soars into a cloud of herbs and spices including Herbes de Provence, adding baking spice, licorice, and wildflowers along the way, with some secondary cured meat and cracked pepper which gives this the depth and complexity it deserves. Beautiful. — 7 years ago
While, my experience buying this wine at Flatiron Wine and Spirits here in the city was less than desirable (Staff needs to get up off their butts, walk away from their computers and actually engage customers who are eager to explore this well-curated store!) Me want more of this wine! Now I know why Kenneth is so obsessed with them! — 7 years ago
So darn delicious with fantastic transparency of flavor. It's not just that it tastes like pears, but it feels like pear, has than crunch, and that bitter brown skin of pear and the wonderful ripeness. Not sweet. Still refreshing. Shoutout to Anna and her husband for making badass wine, cider and spirits! #cider #perry #biodynamic #colorado — 9 years ago
