5/22/2024 - fingers Likes this wine: 86 pointsPale gold color. Light nose of oak and mesquite coals. A bit of citrus and whipped cream on the palate and while it is definitely oak-driven, I don't think it gets anywhere near Rombauer territory. Bats for average, not power ;) My regular go-to at the local watering hole because I can't stand the reds. 4+10+15+7= 86 |

5/20/2024 - DBdeParis Likes this wine: NRA brilliant wine - aromas, flavors, balanced structure. Young but opens up quickly in the glass. Has the tannins/acidity to evolve with age but is good to go now. |

5/13/2024 - jkclifton@gmail.com wrote: NRI think this is not ready yet. Blind might have mistaken it for Rhone. Expected New World fruit was either not present or overwhelmed by the whole cluster tannins. Dense, potentially complex wine, but the tannins were rough and green tasting. I was wondering if they'll ever integrate, but must admit the last glass was the best. |

5/12/2024 - ohne_musik wrote: 92 pointsdecanted 3 hours and then back in bottle for dinner 2 hours later. Tight as a drum at first, as expected. Aromas start to waft from the decanter, blossoming into lemon, wax, and crushed herbs. Palate shows medium acid, more of the lemon/wax notes, with a lustrous texture that is soft, mysterious, a touch of raspy tannin. Not a fruit forward wine, and while there is joy in this bottle, it’s more of a contemplative joy than an exuberant joy. Lovely. |

5/8/2024 - eprutter wrote: 72 pointsMedium yellow, drank right out of the fridge so was still opening up on the nose, with grassy notes along with pear and apple. Tasted of acid, a bit pungent. Fruit notes included sour apple and apricot. A respectable length with a warm finish. Not really jiving with the flavors of this wine. To be fair, I am definitely drinking this late and outside of its window. |

5/7/2024 - Gregmonroe wrote: NRSo I bought a cellar; 11/12/2022-12/31/2030: Second and last bottle of this. This bottle is so much different than the first. Cork was 2/3 soaked, but came out in one piece with a Durand. In the glass, there is some bricking, but generally a deep red with good clarity. The nose has a hint of green pepper or vegetable, but it doesn’t blow me over like the other bottle did. Big acid on the palate, which makes the old fruit profile taste brighter. No tannins, but cranberry, red fruit, a bit of leather. It is falling off quickly, but quite the surprise after the bottle last year. Looks like I have the very last one on all of CellarTracker… |

2021 Parsonage Estate Wild CardMonterey County Red Blend more |
4/14/2024 - Central Coast Sharon wrote: NRGarnet in color. At this point in the tasting, we thought this new release was excellent, perhaps rivaling the 2020 vintage which I had declared the ""best ever"" Wild Card. Robust red and black fruits dance on the palate. Upon a revisit, this wine is still young and has great potential. This is not “ estate.” |
