Alturas Yorkville Highlands Syrah 2009

Inaugural vintage, was undrinkably tight on release, now still “young” but giving a bit of beautiful profile, if you look. — 6 days ago

Weir Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

Bright Ruby color, purple edges, with aromas of ripe fruits, floral and complex spice, vineyard planted in 1991. On the palate concentrated flavors of blueberry, strawberry and cherry with citrus, herbs, vanilla and oak, aged on French oak, soft tannins on well balanced structure. Full body, rich long finish, ending with ripe fruit, vanilla, floral and oaky tones. Very Nice! Will age a bit! — 3 months ago

Game Trail Yorkville Highlands Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Delectable Wine
9.6

The 2021 Game Trail exudes finesse from the very first taste. Crushed flowers, dark red-toned fruit, cinnamon, leather, menthol and dried rose petal build effortlessly as the 2021 shows off its undeniable class. Cabernet Sauvignon at 1,400 feet in the Yorkville Highlands is utterly sublime in this bottling from Marietta. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2024)

Marietta

Román Estate Grown Zinfandel Blend

Upon opening some fruit in the nose as well as some pepper. Moderate tanning on tasting as it opened up the fruit went away and it’s a little more peppery enjoyable.  — 2 months ago

Tierra Petite Sirah 2019

Should have let this age. Wine Enthusiast recommended opening in 2026, found the article after I’d already opened the bottle. I let it breathe for over an hour but still just intense booze and smoke aromas. — 7 months ago

Halcon Vineyard Syrah 2015

The palate reminded me of a liqueur kind of medicinal and manufactured. — 2 months ago

Wilde Farm

Halcon Vineyard Syrah 2017

This is quite youthful and seems on the natty side, but not too much so. Also seems like it was deliberately picked on the not-quite-ripe side. The nose is super-bright, with crunchy little purple mountain berries and pink peppercorns. A bit of cured beef too. In the mouth, the acids are through the roof, overriding some nice, crisp, dark berry flavors. There is a bare hint of barnyard funk too. Very nice length. Overall it’s got a lot of character but seems a little disjointed. Picking a tad riper may have made a better wine, but it wouldn’t have made a “statement,” which I think was what was primarily behind this wine. — 3 months ago
