2019 Three Sticks Pinot Noir Cuvée AlanaRussian River Valley more |
4/16/2024 - air guitar & pinot noir Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis wine is the ultimate motivation. Having gone through knee replacement surgery a week ago and having pain medication to support recovery was going well… until my lovely spouse popped this open to enjoy in front of me. End result is already tapering on pain meds, no chance of addictive behavior, just want my PT back. (Pinot Therapy) |

2021 Liquid Farm Chardonnay Golden SlopeSta. Rita Hills more |
4/8/2024 - air guitar & pinot noir wrote: 92 pointsThis has finally come into its own and is drinking very nicely at this point in time. Some tropical notes emerged after not finding these in the last few bottles of this wine. Harmonious and delicious from start to finish. Solid acidity but not overly bright. Nice golden yellow hue. |

4/7/2024 - air guitar & pinot noir Likes this wine: 93 pointsI had recently enjoyed the Chardonnay sister of this Martinelli Pinot and wanted to track down some more in addition to my initial purchase. Similarly this Pinot offered a wonderful flavor profile with red berry, cherry and raspberry notes. Easy to drink and enjoy. Good complexity and lovely delivery. |

2019 Coursey Graves Bennett Mountain EstateSonoma County Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/6/2024 - air guitar & pinot noir Likes this wine: 93 pointsDrank this after a spectacular Pinot that was very nuanced, which created a more linear experience with this wine. It still presented great fruit and underlying spiciness, but did not seem as explosive as the prior bottle I enjoyed. Still a very solid and enjoyable blend with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot intertwining to present a great drinking experience. |

2021 Argot Pinot Noir Kanzler VineyardSonoma Coast more |
4/6/2024 - air guitar & pinot noir Likes this wine: 94 pointsFantastic Pinot from Argot and the Kanzler vineyard. Great depth of flavor and compelling aromatics. Dark red fruit with Bing cherry, earthy components, and red berries. Continued to evolve in the glass and presented a very unique drinking experience. Polished and wonderful mouthfeel. Love this Pinot! |

2021 Argot Syrah Estate VineyardSonoma Mountain more |
4/6/2024 - air guitar & pinot noir Likes this wine: 92 pointsDeep purple in color and very dark. Rich and hedonistic but with outstanding structure and weight. Not overpowering, rather in balance and very approachable. Great QPR of what is in the glass. Performs above the price point. Great food wine as well. Grilled meats and BBQ pairing. |

2021 VDR Very Dark RedMonterey County Red Blend more |
4/5/2024 - air guitar & pinot noir Likes this wine: 90 pointsA fun little bottle for crowds of people that may not take wine too seriously or are on the road to an evolving palate. This is smooth, has ripeness and yes, it is dark...very dark. Nice blend that pairs well with grilled meat or easily to drink on its own. In our group, many people enjoyed this, but are not regular wine drinkers. Although they like to slurp down my more expensive Pinot when I bring that to share! |

2019 Ancien Pinot Noir Jouissance Russian River Valleymore |
4/4/2024 - air guitar & pinot noir Likes this wine: 93 pointsEvery time I pop one of these I find myself really enjoying them. Nice depth of fruit with perfect earthiness. Nice ripe flavors that are balanced by the other characteristics of the wine. Beautiful mouthfeel and palate attack. Lush without being over extracted or clumsy. I was finally motivated to reach out direct to the winery's site and explore some of their other Pinot offerings. |

2021 Papapietro Perry Pinot Noir Campbell Ranch VineyardSonoma Coast more |
4/4/2024 - air guitar & pinot noir Likes this wine: 92 pointsSolid red fruit profile. A bit of cherry pit and tart cherry elements. Also some herbaceous qualities in the background. Not undesirable but integrated in the overall flavor profile of the wine. It continued to smooth out with time in the glass. Very nice and solid QPR for what's in the bottle. It may gain more depth and weight with additional time, but did not seem to be drinking too young at this point. |

4/3/2024 - air guitar & pinot noir Likes this wine: 92 pointsMedium-bodied with cherry notes. Nice mouthfeel and nice flavor profile. Not overly complex but clearly quality fruit and well made. Leans to a more elegant style compared to other Gap's Crown Pinots I have had. Solid throughout. |

2019 Donnachadh Vineyard Chardonnay Donnachadh VineyardSta. Rita Hills more |
3/31/2024 - air guitar & pinot noir wrote: 90 pointsA bit tart and a bit acidic. Citrus flavors give this an edge and notable oak. Stayed consistent throughout the bottle and never seemed to open up further. Fruit seemed a bit constrained. |

2021 Papapietro Perry Pinot Noir Leras Family VineyardsRussian River Valley more |
3/29/2024 - air guitar & pinot noir Likes this wine: 92 pointsSolid Pinot and one of my favorites in the Papapietro Perry line-up. Solid red fruit with nice depth and flavor. Gains some weight as it opens up and gives it a bit extra. Fairly straightforward but very enjoyable. |

3/26/2024 - air guitar & pinot noir Likes this wine: 92 pointsSolid appellation offering showing juicy, high-quality fruit from the RRV. Youthful and vibrant. Great mouthfeel and is fruit-forward and fresh. A bit less nuanced than their single-vineyard Pinots, but high on the yumminess scale. Great drinker for every day. |

2020 Martinelli Chardonnay Lolita RanchRussian River Valley more |
3/24/2024 - air guitar & pinot noir Likes this wine: 93 pointsMartinelli makes great Pinots and great Zinfandels but this is proof they make incredible Chardonnays as well. This has great balance and ripeness with good mouthfeel and acidity. I found the flavor profile delightful and wanted to return to my glass time and time again. I don’t often chase additional bottles of a wine but I am pursuing this offering. |

2018 Cattleya Pinot Noir Belly of the WhaleSonoma Valley more |
3/23/2024 - air guitar & pinot noir Likes this wine: 94 pointsA gorgeous Pinot Noir from Cattleya and Bibiana. Soft and supple red fruit with no rough edges at all. Fantastic attack with depth of flavor but a soft, round approach. The fruit is fresh with a bit of ripeness. Still is drinking fairly youthful. Elegant and flavor-filled at the same time. Great bottle of wine. |
