Hirsch Vineyards

West Ridge Pinot Noir 2012

I’ve been holding off on drinking any of the 2012 vintage from Hirsch because the folks at the winery said this vintage that needed time in the bottle. @Bill Bender’s notes about the 2012 Hirsch Reserve encouraged me to open a bottle, and I’m glad I did. The wine was deep and broad with more earth, forest floor, mushroom, and loamy notes than I have come to expect from Hirsch wines. The structure has settled down and the more beguiling feminine aspects of the West Ridge are now showing themselves. This was fanatic with crispy roast duck at Gideon Ridge. On a side note, I’ll give a plug to that restaurant. IMHO, it’s the best restaurant in the high country, with great food, service and views. Just plan ahead because reservations are often 6-8 weeks out during the summer season. — 5 years ago

Smith & Hook

West Side Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 1980

Delicate aroma of dark fruit. Dry upfront then a dusty finish. This opens up a lot so pour it and let it settle. — 7 months ago

Domaine Forey Père & Fils

Nuits Saint Georges Pinot Noir 2020

Dark garnet-purple with a nose of black fruit, light earth and a touch of oak. In the mouth black plum, blackberry and mild acidity with clear tannins (but not too heavy). On the dry side- really nice and clearly a bigger Burgundy than the average. On April 30th at 490 West End Ave. — 2 years ago
