2009 Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Summa Old Vines (USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast) 2/17/2024Rayburn94

wonderfully alive with plenty of red fruit and a soft core of tannins. Finish is medium long. How many more years does it have? (262 views)

2005 Château Gloria (France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien) 7/16/2022Rayburn87

Olive and dried leather in the nose. Pretty mossy

2009 Rhys Chardonnay Alpine Vineyard (USA, California, Santa Cruz Mountains) 3/26/2021Rayburn95

A golden middle yellow color.
Nose is a honeyed vanilla. Touch of Gardenia and Confederate Jasmine
Palate is predictably soft with rich oily notes of honeysuckle and more jasmine. Touch of honeydew rind.
The finish is the kicker and it is strong and long.
So happy with this. (1005 views)

2009 Ridge Petite Sirah Lytton Estate (USA, California, Sonoma County, Dry Creek Valley) 11/3/2020Rayburn93

Cork was crumbling when we took it out and had to be pushed into bottle, the wine was strained and decanted for about 45 minutes before tasting. The color is inky purple with a ruby rim. Nose juicy blackberry, licorice, black pepper, little bit of oak. Palate is full, rich and deep, with tannins that have softened but are in evidence. The backbone on this wine is big and strong. The finish is easily two minutes without being drying. (1720 views)
