Violet opaque.
Nose some rose, dark fruits.
Palate some nice density to the fruit, a bit of cranberry orange acidity, a juiciness.
Still seems young and fresh. (30 views)

Quite bright and fresh with a notable pure cranberry color. Crunchy red fruits with a strong herbal piney note that I assume is whole cluster. Not integrated at this point and a bit distracting. Good bones though. Give it some time. (406 views)

This was quite expressive on pouring about half an hour after opening, and continued to open up for a while, after which it seemed to fade slilghtly, at least in contrast to the other wines at the table. Interestingly, the last of the bottle consumed about 7-8 hours later showed a bit more intensity of flavor and a very long finish. (58 views)

Quite oaky. Nice creamy body if a little acid deficient. Will hold other two bottles.

Came together more on day two with the oak receding (though not gone) to reveal some nice lush citrus and borderline tropical notes. A wisp of butter. Wonderful nose, papaya tropical medley. Definitely better on second day. A Californian presentation but not overdone. (224 views)

Pure Boregondian Pinot. Wonderful acidity, earth character and a great pairing with Toulouse sausages. (234 views)

Pop and pour.
Glasvin Expression stem

Ruby color.
Nose offers red fruit and spice noyltes (cinnamon and hint of nutmeg). Earty element too.
Fresh and energetic on the intro. Shows an earthy profile with the red berry fruit. That earthiness adds some depth and weight.
Good crisp finish. (385 views)

The color - almost candied lemon peel - invites. The bright nose delivers candied lemon peel, pear, nectarine, honey and white stone fruit. All the same on the palate with the honeyed minerality taking center stage. By the mid-palate an almond nuttiness appears through the finish. The round mouthfeel and surprising weight all add to the fun. Why I don’t buy more of this, I don’t know. Double decanted; yes, do this. Drink now or hold. 12.5% alc. With assorted cheeses, crusty bread and crab dip. 04.19.24. Recommended. (132 views)

No detailed notes. These bottles were similar last one I drank. I recall them being nice but not exceptional, with good balance and fruit. (133 views)

PnP. Cherry, berries, pie spice, some floral notes. Underlying notes of underbrush and earth. Medium body, medium+ acidity, still mild tannins in the finish. There's a tiny amount of astringency in the finish that seems oak derived. I think this is at its peak, and while there's no rush, I'll open my last bottle in the next 1-3 years. (141 views)

Popped and poured, enjoyed over the course of three days. Consistent throughout but it seems a little more showy the first two days. The 2021 Temperance Hill pours a bright ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of strawberry, Luden’s “Wild Cherry” Throat Drops, red flowers, and hot rocky earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Drink now with some patience or through 2036. (668 views)

Popped and poured, enjoyed with friends over the course of an hour or so. The 2021 “Zenith” pours a light ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing and holy whole-cluster Batman! Notes of funky strawberry, raspberry, pomegranate, and forest floor. On the palate the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes form the nose. The finish is medium+ and certainly has some Burgundian sensibilities. Wow, I really dig this and love the soft mitts that Vincent and his team are using. Lovely, compelling stuff and a producer to keep an eye on. Drink now and through 2036+. (611 views)

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple days. Best on Day 2 as the fruit gained a lot of power. The 2021 Royer Vineyard pours a straw color with medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with medium+ intensity. Notes of matchstick, starfruit, passionfruit, lime, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+; zippy with intriguing minerals. Drink now with patience but better after 2025 and through 2036. (704 views)

Very tasty and plenty of life here. This Pinot Blanc has a gentle sweetness that's nicely balanced by some acid. Good body. Some interesting layers but not extraordinary depth. Perfectly enjoyable wine for a warm spring day. At 12.5% it goes down easy and is refreshing. I think there's several good years to go here. (157 views)
