2022 Belle Glos Pinot Noir Clark & Telephone Vineyard
5/13/2024 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 88 Points
Retail $55. Very Heavy Bottle (). I had just popped a 2009 Belle Glos Pinot Noir Las Alturas Vineyard and it was singing (despite being *really* big). So, when my local restaurant was out of the Flowers Sonoma Coast Pinot, I let them talk me into this one. Meh. Sure, I expected this would be "Wagner Family of Wines" big, but I did not think it would be this syrupy and concentrated. It really comes off as a syrah or even a Zinfandel (a very warm climate Zin) and that is not what I want in a Pinot. Sure, it is technically "Very Good" but this is really not a Pinot and the vineyard deserves better. Very Good. 88 Points.

2021 Rodney Strong Pinot Noir Russian River Valley
5/13/2024 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine:
Retail $30. Responsible Bottle (). Under screw cap. I first tasted this for the 6th Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir last November and I loved it then (94 Points). Not much has changed, certainly not the tasting notes. Don't be dissuaded by the price points of Rodney Strong wines (they are almost all too low), they are top-notch across the board! 93 Points.

2012 Clos Pepe Estate Pinot Noir
5/13/2024 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine:
Retail $50. Heavy Bottle (604g; 1lb 5.3oz). Under cork. Another year has passed and this wine is still holding on well. Just a fantastic producer. So sad. 94 Points.
