2013 Littorai Pinot Noir Platt VineyardSonoma Coast more |
9/24/2022 - ravikalaga Likes this wine: 94 pointsFirst of the Littorai’s from 2013. Beautiful Cali Pinot; slightly dense; aromatic with a medium long finish. The vintage on release was totally aromatic but this bottle seems to have lost some of it. |

4/19/2021 - ravikalaga Likes this wine: 93 pointsWow! Way too young but this is some juice. Totally integrated already with a lot of time to go. Try in 10yrs and this will be singing. This is mostly true for most of the 17 littorais |

2010 Domaine Dujac Morey St. DenisPinot Noir more |
12/25/2019 - ravikalaga Likes this wine: 93 pointsPnP for Christmas 2019. After an hr, this wine began to sing. Not a GC, not a mind-blowing wine but for a village, from a good Domaine. it shows some awesomeness. Delicate fruit in balance with age, this felt good! |

2014 Mission Hill Syrah Terroir Collection CrosswindsOkanagan Valley VQA more |
6/28/2019 - ravikalaga Likes this wine: 89 pointsThis is a big wine. Dark, very brooding; reminds me of big Napa cabs than Syrah. Not a winemaking style I particularly care for but to know that this is from British Columbia makes me take notice. Would have liked a more restrained style of winemaking but this is a powerhouse! |

2006 R. López de Heredia Rioja Reserva Viña BosconiaTempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
2/10/2019 - ravikalaga Likes this wine: 90 pointsBit of must at the start but then settles into the usual ripe fruit, big wine that this is. Can't really find fault but not spectacular. Maybe some bottle age will make it more balanced. |

2/10/2019 - ravikalaga Does not like this wine: 85 pointsBought a lot of 6 from K&L for 19.99. I should have guessed, this is Windgap liquidating stock I guess. Something is off with the wine. I love Pax and his style, this is weird. 5 more going away as gifts :( |

1/20/2019 - ravikalaga Likes this wine: 94 pointsThe ageing of this wine is phenomenal. The reduction early on when bottled is gone, it's dense but crisp, amazing aromatics... this is how I pictured this wine to be 6yrs on and it does not disappoint. Keeping the rest for at least another 5yrs. |
