2014 Dehlinger Pinot Noir GoldridgeRussian River Valley more |
8/22/2017 - Matt Scott Likes this wine: 94 pointsCurved and ostentatious, with gobbs of fruit, brick, dried forest and pine resin. Full-bodied, with well-strewn tannins. All though this is so marvelous today, more time in the cellar will bring out the bottom layers even more. Drink 2018 - 2025. |

2012 MacPhail Pinot Noir Sundawg Ridge VineyardSonoma Coast more |
8/20/2017 - Matt Scott Likes this wine: 93 pointsSuch distinction, displaying smoked meat, wild truffle, plum, nutmeg, dark cherry and salty stone. The deep end of the pool, the finish sails on for quite awhile. I love the folded layers. Drink now - 2022. |

2014 Merry Edwards Pinot Noir CoopersmithRussian River Valley more |
8/20/2017 - Matt Scott Likes this wine: 94 pointsLovely acidity that flow towards these engaging bass notes. Your palate is covered in glorious and almost reticent fruit.

2014 Merry Edwards Pinot Noir Sonoma Coastmore |
8/20/2017 - Matt Scott Likes this wine: 91 pointsGushing fruit, that shows the cooler qualities of The Petaluma wind gap. Blueberry, black walnut, rose petal and stone. A medium finish. Such a striking style, and displays a fair amount of depth. Drink now - 2024. |

2014 Merry Edwards Pinot Noir Meredith EstateRussian River Valley more |
8/20/2017 - Matt Scott Likes this wine: 95 pointsRadiant and pure in form, the detailed entry, silky middle and long finish display classic qualities. Rose petal, plum, dried rosemary, lavender and cardemom. Like many of Merry's Pinots, this glory beckoning to be cellared, even though this is quite enjoyable presently. Ripe and sexy tannins. Brava! Drink 2020 - 2030. |

2016 Merry Edwards Sauvignon BlancRussian River Valley more |
8/20/2017 - Matt Scott Likes this wine: 96 pointsThis is absolutely sensational and even better than the classic '07. Perfectly concentrated, with tiers of flavor. Orange blossom, honeydew melon, cat urine, sage brush, chalky mineral and wicker. Exceptionally long and just all around gorgeous: I can't get over how delicious this is at such a young age. American Sauvignon Blanc rarely is this magnificent. Drink now - 2025. 3 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (3) |

2014 Occidental Pinot Noir Cuvée Catherine Occidental StationSonoma Coast more |
8/18/2017 - Matt Scott Likes this wine: 96 pointsWhat a sumptuous and elegant style, with lightness and staying-power. The finish glides for a long journey, with a true corporeal enjoyment. Red-fruited, red-spiced, dried rose petals, earth and a little sea salt; to compare this to Burgundy would not be proper: this has its own style and is truly an enchanting flowing gown on a breezy Summer's day. Drink 2018 - 2030. |

2016 J. Rochioli Sauvignon BlancRussian River Valley more |
8/18/2017 - Matt Scott Likes this wine: 93 pointsConcentrated, and almost unctuous, this voluptuous Sauvignon Blanc has so much presence and a long finish. Lemon grass, fig, lychee, cat urine and wild brush. What a satisfying middle palate. Always one of the best of this varietal from California. Drink now - 2024. |

2014 Turnbull Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
8/11/2017 - Matt Scott Likes this wine: 93 pointsMocha, black cherry, black currant, lemon oil, cedar and rich earth. Focused upon entry, round on the middle and long thru the end. Layered and the cottony tannins persist, but not in a bulwark manner. A distinct persona. Drink 2020 - 2035. |

2012 Beekeeper Cellars Zinfandel Black SearsHowell Mountain more |
8/6/2017 - Matt Scott Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis is very serious and at this moment a little dumb. A myriad of spice, wet earth, truffles, red fruit and plumb sauce; however, the fruit is in the back and will take a couple of years to show more. Deftly made and will age exceptionally well. This is almost more akin to Petite Sirah, with a small percentage contained. Drink now 2019 - 2039. |

2012 Pax Syrah Castelli-Knight RanchRussian River Valley more |
8/6/2017 - Matt Scott Likes this wine: 94 pointsBlueberry cobbler, cacao, lavender, monkey pod, wild duck and plumeria. Long and echoing, with many silky tannins. So mouthcoatingly attractive. Still a little shy, another year or so will help with the approachability. Drink 2018 - 2028. |

8/3/2017 - Matt Scott Likes this wine: 93 pointsSuave and flowing, with body and elegance. Plum, cashew, stewed cherries, button mushroom and granite. So long and contemplative. Very well constructed and could use a couple more years of hibernating. Drink 2019 - 2029. |

2013 Argot Syrah Estate VineyardSonoma Mountain more |
7/31/2017 - Matt Scott Likes this wine: 92 pointsThick and voluptuous, with an array of supple fruit. A medium-long finish and proper depth. Fine tannins and although this has backbone, the approachability is evident. Noir in terms of fruit and colour. Drink 2018 - 2027. |

2014 Neyers Cabernet Sauvignon AMENapa Valley more |
7/31/2017 - Matt Scott Likes this wine: 93 pointsLush and delightful fruit, with balance and silky tannins. A long finish that just accentuates the lushness.
