2008 Inman Family Pinot Noir OGV EstateRussian River Valley more |
7/23/2012 - pete s. wrote: NRTasting room note. Probably the most fruit forward of the Pinots...almost tart cranberry and ripe berry at the same time. There's an underlying "rusty" note as well. I preferred the '07. |

2009 Copain Pinot Noir Les VoisinsAnderson Valley more |
7/21/2012 - pete s. wrote: 90 pointsTasting room note. Nose showed black cherry, forest floor, and musty wood. Lively acid on the palate with pomegranate, earth, and fine tannins. Really can't do much better for Pinot in this price range. |

2011 Copain P2Anderson Valley Red Blend more |
7/21/2012 - pete s. wrote: 89 pointsTasting room note. Looking back, I should have purchased more of this. Bright red fruit and floral nose with a lt-med. bodied palate that shows balance of red fruit and medium acid. Lightly chilled, this would be extremely versatile with food. |

2007 Copain Syrah Hawks Butte VineyardYorkville Highlands more |
7/21/2012 - pete s. wrote: 92 pointsTasting room note. Lovely, creamy blackberry on the nose with subtle spice. More savoriness on the palate with smoke, leather, and black raspberry fruit. Full-bodied and still drinking very young. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

2008 Sojourn Cabernet Sauvignon Proprietary CuvéeNapa Valley more |
2/7/2013 - pete s. wrote: 92 pointsTasting room note. Delicious. Fleshy blackberry and dark cherry. Lush and concentrated dark fruit on the palate and med-high tannins but both are balanced nicely. Structure gives way to an lengthy cassis/oak finish. |

2010 Sojourn Pinot Noir Gap's Crown Vineyard Sonoma Coastmore |
7/22/2012 - pete s. wrote: 90 pointsTasting room note. More of a dark fruit profile compared to the other Sojourn SV's with hints of sweet oak and baking spice. Needs time. |

2010 Sojourn Pinot Noir Sangiacomo VineyardSonoma Coast more |
7/22/2012 - pete s. wrote: 90 pointsTasting room note. This is much more robust than the Rodger's Creek and much more fruit dominant. Lighter tannins and acid. |

2010 Sojourn Pinot Noir Rodgers Creek Vineyard Sonoma Coastmore |
7/22/2012 - pete s. wrote: 92 pointsTasting room note - My favorite Pinot of the 2010 lineup. Lovely red fruit, spice, and a pleasant earthiness on the nose. Vibrant on the palate with plush red fruit, balanced structure and a lengthy finish. Lots of layers that I can't quite pinpoint. |

2010 Campesino Syrah Sangiacomo Old Lakeville VineyardSonoma Coast more |
2/7/2013 - pete s. wrote: 92 pointsCouldn't resist popping one of these. Ran through the vinturi and immediately got a whiff of what was waiting for me on the nose: smoke, dried beef, charcoal, tar, blackberries, and mineral...in order of prevalence. A little more restrained on the palate and more of the dark, juicy fruit shines through in a medium-bodied package. Obvious structure for ageing and and a fantastic finish that is my favorite part of the drinking experience. The savageness of this wine is almost overwhelming, but everything comes together in balance in the end. This could reach 94-95 territory. |

2004 Guido Porro Barolo Vigna S. CaterinaNebbiolo more |
9/19/2012 - pete s. wrote: 91 pointsThis was an excellent and fairly priced Barolo. My experience in this price range is hit or miss, but his drank very well tonight. Lovely nose of dried cherries and rose petal with focused red fruit on the palate. Lots of structure on the lengthy finish. Should get better. |

2007 Xavier Vignon VacqueyrasRed Rhone Blend more |
10/20/2012 - pete s. wrote: 89 pointsPop and poured through the vinturi. Tight at first, but opened up to show ripe black fruit and pepper. The fruit was kept in check nicely by the firm tannins which were not as imposing as I would've guessed based on recent reviews. I wasn't getting the herbal and earthy notes I noted two years ago. I'd do a long the decant the next time around. |

2007 Keller Estate Pinot Noir La Cruz VineyardSonoma Coast more |
2/6/2013 - pete s. wrote: 89 pointsThe previous couple of reviews pretty much mirror my note. Red berries and spice on the nose and palate with nice acid and a medium finish. Missing some complexity, but it's very easy to drink and can also pair with a variety of foods. |

2007 Unti Vineyards GrenacheDry Creek Valley more |
2/6/2013 - pete s. wrote: 90 pointsSee previous note. Shows the heat of the vintage but the alcohol is in balance despite the higher ABV. Not the typical Unti style with lots of ripe red fruit, but still very tasty. |

2010 Domaine de la Janasse Côtes du Rhône Villages Terre d'ArgileRed Rhone Blend more |
11/8/2012 - pete s. wrote: NRNo formal notes so no score but I do remember it being very youthful and big for a CdR. Lots or rich dark fruit and very full-bodied. Probably should sit for at least a year. |

2007 TOR Cuvée SusanNapa Valley Red Blend more |
1/5/2013 - pete s. wrote: 91 pointsThis is drinking very well right now. I typically get more Syrah characteristics in these Cab/Syrah blends, but this time around the Cab was in the forefront. Rich cassis with milk chocolate on the palate balanced by firm but nicely integrated tannins. Drink or hold. |

2009 Wind Gap Wines OrraNorth Coast Red Rhone Blend more |
8/4/2012 - pete s. wrote: 88 pointsSee previous note. Definitely a lighter, leaner new world Rhone blend. I actually prefer this style but everything seems muted on this wine. It's balanced, but not very exciting. |

2010 Château Puech-Haut Coteaux du Languedoc Saint-Drézéry PrestigeRed Rhone Blend more |
6/17/2012 - pete s. wrote: 89 pointsI can see how some feel this is overripe. It is teetering on the edge but does have some structure to match the richness. Missing some complexity that may come through once the fruit settles down a bit. |
