Tried two of their more current releases, 21 Russian River & 21 Crown Gap and this 2017 Thorn Ridge from Magnum. Always consistent, solid Pinots from KB. Paired well with the Duck.

At Pebble Beach Food & Wine 2025.

The ticket to this event has a pretty big price tag. But when you consider what a Napa etc. tasting or two and lunch would cost you, you are pretty much there and there is so much more than that. It ends up having great value. It’s wine, spirits and food candy land.

Pale ruby color- very translucent. Had to give this one a 30 min. decanting. Muted red fruit flavors, black olive, floral notes and earthy. The 10 years has given this some interesting flavors of cranberry, cherry, baking spices and a red fruit finish. — 6 months ago

The older, the better. A blackcurrant, pepper & vanilla. High acidity, maybe too high for me, but it's ok. — 9 months ago

The surprisingly elegant 2020 Shotfire Quartage is a red blend that delivers ample layers of black cherry and dried herbs with graphite and spice touches. Good composure is on show in a fleshy mid-weight style, providing a rich blackberry flavor core with chewy tannins to finish. $25.00 (Angus Hughson, Vinous, December 2023) — 2 years ago
