2022 Titus Zinfandel Bald Mountain VineyardSonoma Valley more |
5/14/2024 - rbfleming Likes this wine: 92 pointsNose of blackberries. Purple-black color. Dark brambly fruit with a rich texture (compote?). Wonderful now and ready for a decade's maturation, I'd wager. |

5/12/2024 - rbfleming Likes this wine: 93 pointsTerrific wine! We visited the winery but did not taste this one. Ordered it on a lark but did not expect this fruity, complex and gentle expression. Best of the NZ Pinots and tasted so far. |

2020 Greystone / Grey's Peak Pinot Noir Vineyard FermentWaipara more |
4/27/2024 - rbfleming Likes this wine: 89 pointsTasted at the winery and then ordered several bottles shipped back to the States. At the winery they explained that they had bottled a small portion of the vintage with corks and most of the exact same output in screw top. We tasted the two side by side tonight. |
