The Mortal Vintner

Pride Mountain Vineyards

Vintner Select Cuvee Sonoma County Merlot 2010

Who says Merlot can not age. This is delightful. I would say there is just a hint of browning at the edges but this is a big glass and if I had, had this with mom at the restaurant instead of the Tor - you never would have seen it. It is rich and full on the palate. Finish is long. I think the nose is a bit muted but given its age super nice — 3 months ago

La Landonne Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2019

2019 vintage. Last tasted 08.19.23 (9.5). Still medium heavy-heavy bod. Plushy nose, aggressively undying flavors and brick + mortar structure. Comparable to what it must have been like to see Mozart live back in that day. Confusing. Pure. Beyond mortal comprehension. "It's getting better all the time." 03.08.25. — 7 months ago

Mortal Bloom Hazy IPA

Founders Mortal Bloom: Sinister Haze: Hazy IPA
Dark gold leaning into amber with a yellow green aura around white locks. Roosters, snakes and rooster-snakes slither under curtained films and alligators backing off lacings. Sweet nose evokes white cherry and strawberry-kiwi, guava, hibiscus and pineapple, lemon, grapefruit and clementine. Less fruity palate amplifies the citrus with clementine, tangerine and kumquat in the fore and a tsunami of lemon and lemon oil reminding. Lemon grass and lemon verbena beside cannabis and sage. Hoppy happy.

3B Bairrada Rosé Espumante Baga

The label would normally be off putting to me, but I’m always interested in a female vintner, especially when she is the daughter of a famous Portuguese maker. What a revelation-drinks more like a sparkling Savoie or alpine rose. Close to the bone dry. Lovely pink color. Fine mousse. I love that label now…. — 2 years ago
