Community Tasting Note

• sean7711 Likes this wine: 97 points

  January 7, 2023 - What a beautiful wine. This wine, year in and year out always ranks consistently high for me. I gave this ~6 hours of air and drank over the next few hours. I tasted a small sip at PnP and it was as good then as it was with more air. It had this cherry vanilla, almost like a cherry starburst nose to it - very pleasant. Good Rutherford dust, very accessible.

  1/9/23, 10:46 AM - nice TN, and thanks for the early check in.
  
  Every time I open a Greer I always kick myself for not buying more during the release. Typically I get a three pack and a Maggie but I may need to bump that up for the next offering.
  
  Great wine at (relatively) reasonable price point...

  Also appreciate your notes. I have the 18 and 19 Greer and have patiently been waiting to open one.

  6 pack is the way to go for sure. Trying to get him to do a vertical wine dinner here in AZ. Maybe you guys can all fly out. Blarm you have been threatening … Get’er done!

  1/10/23, 7:24 AM - I would definitely make the trip out to AZ for a Greer vertical. The VHR one in December sounded like a blast.
  
  @ Joe - yes I am a Fairfield alum, class of 08. Message me on the side to catch up, would be great to meet another fellow alum here on CT.

  1/10/23, 12:03 PM - Lite- do you have a tentative date for that? I've been meaning to visit some clients in Scottsdale so could multi task on the trip.
  
  Let me know, cheers...

  I am headed to Hartford this summer.
  
  Come out for Malescot St Exupery March 2nd plus a pre-wine dinner night of fantastic bottles.

  1/10/23, 12:36 PM - Theres a 95% chance that I'll be in Jackson Hole so that one wont work.
  
  But keep me/us in mind for that Greer for sure...

Most likely landing in Tucson again and working my way North over the week. Hopefully we can share a few bottles. And, most likely the house I'll rent in Sedona will have plenty of space as the kids like to share one room on vacation. Dibs!
