Sipping Fine Wine

Ruby red color with perfumed aromas of fruit, floral and earthy spice. On the palate flavors of strawberry and cherry with cola, floral notes and hints of oak. Fine youthful tannins, medium finish, ending with fruit, spice and earthy notes. — 5 months ago

The winemaker for PG has referred to the 2018 vintage as the best raw material they’ve ever seen. With the gravitas of this producer and their previous work at Torii Mor & other places, that’s high praise. If this entry level cuvée is a good indicator, then look out. Great power & finesse already and a simply enchanting nose. Few producers cover Oregon as completely as Patricia Green and you can taste the deft hand behind this vintage and bottling. Get some. — 5 years ago

Grapes sourced from Teac Mor, in between Russian River valley and Sebastopol, 14 miles from ocean. All neutral oak only felt as texture on the palate. Very reductive. Yellow flowers, honeysuckle, yellow apple, mushroom texture, minerality, elevated acidity, medium body, broadly textured on the palate. — 2 years ago

Oh man, this is a good Pinot. Strawberry and oak intermingled in an amazingly elegant wine. But a few more years will probably add to the complexity and make for an even mor pleasant tasting. Looking forward to it. — 5 years ago

Maybe I need to stop being so impressed when Cali wines are so well made and well balanced, but once again I am. Not ready to follow Robert Parker in the statement”tastes like a grand cru from the Cote de Nuits,”but it is delicious and quite deep, drinking mor like a higher end Oregon Pinot to me. Nose of sun baked red and black cherries even some blue fruit; a whiff of classic Cali sun baked earth alongside some forest floor and sanguine elements that is where I would blind guess williamette valley. Has also developed interesting tertiary elements: shiitake mushrooms and aged soy sauce. Mouth coating while remaining refreshing, but def a dense full bodied Pinot that would be hard to call “ Burgundian” with the possible exception of some bigger red clay savigny le beaunes), but it is a great representation of its terroir and a deep contemplative wine. Still finishes with drying tannins and refreshing med / med + acidity that denotes longer term aging potential. Drinking very well and has structure to keep going although I’m curious to see how tertiary it gets and how well unthreatening holds. — 5 years ago

Peaty early Father’s Day gift from Mary. Tastes excellent, at a very attractive price. I’m enjoying better than Laphroig. — 5 years ago
