2021 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Russian River Valleymore |
2/1/2023 - FPNova Likes this wine: NRGreat aromatic nose of dried rose petals (Pinot Perfume), and a bit of spice (Anise). Beautifully balanced. Will go great with smoked duck breast. Layered mushroom earthy quality. |

2012 Patricia Green Cellars Pinot Noir Coury Clone Freedom Hill VineyardWillamette Valley more |
3/8/2021 - FPNova wrote: 93 pointsDrinking beautifully right now. Nose is subdued at this point in the wine's life cycle. Delicious red berries, minerality and silky smooth tannins still dominate on the pallet. But I'm not so sure this will make it to 2023 and still retain its current vitality. If you have this in your cellar recommend you enjoy it soon. So sad this was the last bottle in our cellar. |

1/31/2020 - FPNova wrote: NRFred Swan - 97+ points - “...deep ruby in color with a pretty nose of dark flowers, blackberry, savory spice, lavender, bay leaf, red cherry, dry herb, and dark mocha... wonderfully flavorful palate... approachable, yet quite structural.” |

2011 Linden Chardonnay HardscrabbleNorthern Virginia more |
6/9/2018 - FPNova Likes this wine: 92 pointsRich golden color with a tinge of green. Lemon, orange rind and a hint of sea spray on the nose. Lemon and still crisp acidity on the palate, this Chardonnay still has time to continue evolving. So I will wait 9-12 mos before opening my last bottle. |

2/5/2015 - FPNova wrote: 92 pointsBeautiful, rich cherry, floral and spice aromas. Rich, complexly layered red fruit flavors with a long, savoury finish. This wine is still evolving and will get better so I'll wait a year or two before opening the next bottle. |

2004 Ken Wright Pinot Noir Shea VineyardYamhill-Carlton more |
9/21/2014 - FPNova wrote: 91 pointsAt 10 years of age this wine is still fresh and lively on the palette with vibrant, dark red cherry, accented with baking spices the dominant flavors. But the alcohol still overshadows the finish just a bit too much. |

2006 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Weir VineyardYorkville Highlands more |
7/13/2014 - FPNova Likes this wine: 92 pointsBright deep red color. Red berries, spice, floral notes and a hint of licorice on the nose. Black cherry, exotic spice, cola and an earthy mouth-feel on the palate with a medium-long finish. Now is the right time to enjoy this if it's in your cellar |

2004 Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino RiservaSangiovese more |
11/24/2013 - FPNova Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis week a group of 11 Italian wine lovers and collectors met for dinner to share several Barolo's and Brunello's over a nice Italian dinner at a local Italian restaurant. All about floral and cherry notes on the nose, this wine is so beautifully balanced and complex on the palate with an extraordinary long finish - even at this relatively young age for a Brunello. This was the favorite wine of the evening for most in our group. Bellisimo! |

2006 Freestone (Joseph Phelps) Pinot Noir Sonoma Coastmore |
12/28/2012 - FPNova Likes this wine: 91 pointsRich dark red. Aromas of strawberry, incense, and a little barnyard. Flavors of red berry, spice and tangerine on the smooth and crisply acidic finish. A very nice mature Sonoma Pinot Noir that has the structure to go longer. |
