2022 Clarice Wine Company Pinot Noir Garys' VineyardSanta Lucia Highlands more |
4/2/2024 - goodvitis.com Likes this wine: 93 pointsThis has the earthiest nose on a Clarice that I can recall, with those elements slowly falling into balance with dark cherry, mountain strawberry, black plum, baking spice, and chocolate. It’s medium bodied with mostly polished, finely grained tannin and slightly crunch acid. It’s pretty seamless, and a bit thinner than the SLH. Flavors hit on Bing cherry, cranberry, licorice, clove, and black plum. They all get sweeter over time, although a rustic element remains. I don’t love it at this stage, but the potential it’s showing is significant. The brisk acid and gritty, medium density seem a better fit for consumption in five to ten years. |

3/24/2024 - spidermark Likes this wine: 92 pointsAnother tasting of this bottle a while later, perhaps my first bottle was a little bit off. This bottle was spot on, absolutely vibrant fruit, it felt like the wine was at peak and was absolutely singing. It had that typically luscious SLH fruit, gorgeous cherries, red berries, plum and a nice little hint of spice. This one had plush mouthfeel a very pretty finish. |

3/22/2024 - jmottern Likes this wine: 93 pointsDark red gig body (4.2%) wine. Floral nose followed by smooth plum and black cherry fruit. Nice finish with a hint of minerality. This wine needs several more years to fully mature. |

2/29/2024 - Tim Heaton wrote: NRPnP that performed pretty consistently across two hours. Bright, clear with no real sign of age to the garnet core. Aromas are red/dark red fruit, flowers and soil in that order. Seems to be at/near apogee for my palate; didn't care for it on release, too much of everything. Should show at a high level for several more years. 14,7% abv. In its current form, it's highly recommended for those that prefer new world wines. |

1/14/2024 - JCMenendez wrote: NRPeople like to say comparison is the thief of joy. In this case it may well be true. I drank this along a set of classically styled old world pinots and this did not fare well. Muddled with imprecise flavors, "sweet", slightly oaky. It was my first Kosta Browne, and I was not impressed. Here's the thing, when I decanted it at home it smelled incredible, I stole a small sip and it seemed fine, tight, but good. But when I tasted it side by side with other pinots it stood out as something different, and lost in the comparison. I might give KB yet another try all by itself. |
