From brine to seasoned to cooked bird.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Gotta have two glasses with Thanksgiving Turkey, one for dark & white meat.

Nicely, ripe blackberries, black plum, black raspberries, dark cherries, medium intensity, dark spice, cinnamon stick, clove, nutmeg, vanilla, dark & red fresh and withering florals, near perfect acidity and a lush, balanced, long finish. At it peaks.

My #8 in this 2007-2018 vertical. I thought it was the 2016, turned out to be the 2012. Seem much younger, so I guess it should really shine in the next few years

The complexity, above all else. I can tell you all about everything else but the finish is why you pay that price for Kosta.

A tasting of nine 2012 Sonoma Coast Pinots. We all enjoyed this earthy Pinot from KB, our #2 wine from the lineup.

Solid. Bing cherries and clean bright acidity. Good example of 2012 Sonoma Coast Pinot.

Roses and chocolates are so amateur 😜; wine and heart-shaped-salted-chocolate donuts are much more my speed on Valentine's Day. Fresh strawberries and cherries on the nose, this is a pretty big wine. Nice flavors of cherry, spice and black tea. Decent tannins and acidity. It was a good wine, just not a great wine. I prefer others in their line up.
