8/25/2022 - David_T Does not like this wine: 79 pointsAs others have said, a TJs purchase based on age. Plenty of cherries but too sweet overall and lacks any meaningful structural elements. |

2011 Bedrock Wine Co. Syrah Exposition Two Weill a Way VineyardSonoma Valley more |
7/24/2022 - David_T Likes this wine: 93 pointsA very nice syrah. Drinking well now with a bit of air. Fresh red/black cherries, raspberries, licorice, some pepper, hints of earth and grilled meat. The medium acid/tannins are integrated. The oak is there but balanced, and I agree with others the viognier adds a nice lift. |

7/1/2022 - David_T Likes this wine: 91 pointsFresh fruit- cherry, pomegranate, red raspberry up front. The midpalate is somewhat acidic but adds some earth & graphite. Medium acid, light tannins, drinking very well now and while I don’t see it improving with age, no rush given the freshness. |

5/31/2021 - David_T Likes this wine: 91 pointsAn oxidative tropical fruit bomb. That may not sound delicious but it is. The Prince is notably here but also so much more, as always a lot that’s tough to put into words. Tons of mango, a hint of lime, light acid/minerals to flush a few out. In this bottle it all works incredibly well together. My only bottle, certainly drinking well now but I would also love to be able to follow it as it gets older. |

4/12/2021 - David_T Likes this wine: 92 pointsJust a pure, lovely wine drinking very well now. Fresh lingonberry & red raspberry with just enough earth/funk underneath to keep it interesting. Light acidity and smooth tannins lead to a plush mouthfeel. |

2015 Franny Beck Pinot Noir Armstrong VineyardRibbon Ridge more |
1/31/2021 - David_T Likes this wine: 92 pointsFresh cherries, white flowers and rose for days on the nose. The palate adds red raspberry, spice, a medium body with medium acid and tannins. Immediately makes me think Willamette, OR. Balanced, well made, drinking well now but this will last a while. |

1/31/2021 - David_T wrote: 90 pointsDark red & blue fruit, green olive and light pepper on both the nose and palate. Medium acidity/light-medium tannins. Entering a good drinking window, should last through its 10th birthday though I wouldn’t hold it long term. |

2011 Bloomer Creek Vineyard Cabernet Franc Vin d'eteSeneca Lake more |
12/4/2020 - David_T Likes this wine: 92 pointsWhat’s with the drinking window? 2015?! This bottle is absolutely singing. The fruit has morphed far less dark since my last bottle. Mostly fresh red cherry. Pleasant earth/mushroom underneath that, some fresh herbs and just the lightest vanilla/oak touch to round it out. Fully integrated medium acid/tannins. Truly a gem and the most enjoyable flx red I’ve had. Drinking beautifully now though I hope to keep my hands off my last bottle for a few years to see where it goes. |

8/22/2020 - David_T Likes this wine: 93 pointsNotes from day three. It was bright on day one, a bit lost on day two and beautiful day three. Drinking well already with air but no rush. One of the most feminine vintages, florals throughout. Mixed red fruits that trend dark. Leather, earth and pepper. Medium acid/tannins that already feel integrated but are sure to evolve. A lovely cool climate syrah. |

7/26/2020 - David_T wrote: 90 pointsYellow apple, pear and lemon. Oak is there but balanced. Malo makes it smooth but it still has light acid/minerals. I personally prefer crisper chards but this shows the Cali style well, is quite balanced and one many will enjoy. Drinking well now and should last several more years though I don’t see it improving much with time. |
