2022 Belle Glos Pinot Noir Clark & Telephone VineyardSanta Maria Valley more |
3/5/2024 - Redsquare82 wrote: 89 pointsEasy drinking pinot noir. Got it on clearance at Fred Meyer for much less than the sticker price, which is a bit high when you can get much better Pinot out of Oregon at that price point. Red fruit nose, sour cherry, with more red fruit up front. Not a lot of layers to this. |

2017 K Vintners Syrah The BeautifulWalla Walla Valley more |
2/19/2024 - Redsquare82 Likes this wine: 94 pointsPaired this with Peking Duck. First whiffs out of the bottle has a touch of funk, then black olives in brine. After an hour it smelled like cherry cola and blueberries. It tasted sublime, initially it was a touch closed but with air it had black cherry, strawberry, blueberry at various stages, with a touch of bret funk. Silky tannins, excellent finish. Worked perfectly with the duck. |

2/14/2024 - Redsquare82 wrote: 85 pointsHad higher hopes for this wine. It was quite flat. At first I thought it was closed down and could use some decanting but even on the second say there was little fruit or the funk that is characteristic of the Rocks area. |

2017 Chanson Père & Fils Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru La DominodePinot Noir more |
1/28/2024 - Redsquare82 Likes this wine: 93 pointsDelicious, still a touch youthful. Red fruits and mushrooms, earthiness, a well rounded Pinot. Tannins are still strong but an hour in a decanter will solve that. Good medium finish. |

2018 Willamette Valley Vineyards Pinot Noir Tualatin Estatemore |
10/6/2023 - Redsquare82 Does not like this wine: 80 pointsFirst off, this isn't corked and it was stored properly. The nose is mostly alcohol, as though someone empohalf the bottle and poured in cheap vodka to make it full again. Fruit when it comes is intermittent. Sometimes raspberry, most times a burning alcohol. This has happened with other Willamette Pinots and is one of the reasons I don't buy them anymore. On this bottle it is egregious. Tried decanting for a time. Still a lot of the same issues. |
