2014 Saintsbury Pinot Noir Stanly Ranch
5/19/2024 - jlhkiss Likes this wine: 91 Points
Drank out of magnum and opened 2 hours ahead of cedar-plank grilled salmon, halibut, and Alaska Spot shrimp, seared asparagus, and mixed salad sides. Dark crimson color. Floral nose brings purple lavender and fresh strawberry notes. The palate is medium-full, round, and tangy, bringing a nice core of black, blue, and red fruit mixed with some hints of cloves, black licorice, black tea, and wood smoke into a refined finish. Drink 2025-2033. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 90.

2015 Laurel Glen Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Sonoma Mountain
5/18/2024 - jlhkiss Likes this wine: 91 Points
Opened and decanted an hour ahead of seared filet off the grill with mixed salad sides. Dark crimson color. The powdery nose brings mint, eucalyptus, cherry blossoms, cassis, and blueberry compote. The palate is full, round, and supple, bringing a good core of black and blue fruit mixed with high-toned raspberry and orange peel notes, dark chocolate, and hints of coffee bean and pipe tobacco into a refined finish. Still some wood notes throughout but this should integrate. Will be best 2026-2034. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 90.

2010 Château de Pez

This has closed back down since last tasting. The fruit was subdued even after 3+ hours of air in the decanter. Still has a really good frame with strong acidity and thick tannins on the finish. It has also developed a nice powdery feel on the nose and palate. Drink 2025-2032. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 90.
