Smoky, dark fruit, olive and black pepper. Light-medium acid/tannins. Lovely syrah flavors just feels a bit disjointed.

Mixed stone fruits, citrus and stone, notably nectarine and mandarin. Dry but fresh and fruit-forward. Pleasant minerals/acid. Certainly drinking well now but much potential.

2011 Fort Ross Pinotage Fort Ross Vineyard

Sonoma Coast more

5/16/2020 - David_T Likes this wine: 91 points

Bright red fruit, some grilled meat, earth/herbs and florals. Quite complex, medium acid/tannins, young & should drink quite nicely for a while. This is definitely an under appreciated grape that shows quite well in this AVA.

The aromas and flavors match with earth up front, mixed red & black cherries, pepper/herbs/earth, hints of cocoa and oak. Well balanced, fully integrated and drinking well/likely at peak now but it should last a few more years.

As others mention little fruit. Various tough to pinpoint fresh & dried plants, a mix of floral and forest. Perhaps some stone, earth, light tannins. I didn’t try this when young and will be curious where it is around its 10th birthday.

The aromas and flavors match with mixed red/black fruit, cocoa and a hint of earth. Light tannins & acid, fruit forward but by no means jammy despite the abv clocking in at 14.8. Drinking well now & should continue to do so through its 10th birthday.

Complex and delicious. Cranberry, barnyard, some bacon, raspberry, currant, herbs, florals, earth, just a hint of oak. Light but well structured with medium tannins/acid that are still integrating. Drinking very well now but no rush at all.
