Drunk review 3: Wine number three of the night. It has a silky, olive oil-like quality to it. Like, when you attempt to taste olive oil the professional way, but you have no idea what you're doing, so you feel it burn at the back of your throat-- but it's also not unpleasant? Medium boldness. It's your friend at a party that is quiet and shy in real life, but then is surprisingly outgoing when drinking and you're like, "Damn. And I thought I was taking you out." Earthy notes, like herbs just taken out of the dirt in the middle of fall. I would pair this while petting a Golden Retriever. It's good.

People do not age California Pinot Noir enough. This is as true of lesser bottlings as it is the expensive single vineyard wines. A lot of people believe that the only California Pinot Noirs to age are the $70 bottles with fancy single vineyard names on them. But a humble Sonoma Coast bottling from a good producer will almost always blossom for 6-12 years, provided it is balanced and has good acidity. Here’s a 13+ year-old bottle that is just singing with raspberry jam, red miso, dried herbs, forest floor and a hint of leather. Wonderfully delicious
