2018 Yates Family Vineyard Alden Perry Reserve

Decanted for only 30 minutes and consumed over the next three hours. Another wonderful wine from Yates. Ripe rich fruit, low acidity with just enough tannins to balance.

2018 Darioush Merlot

I have to agree with Optimus Wine's note of 05/31/2021. We are big fans of Darioush Merlot and purchased a case of this vintage. We have consumed eight bottles and all have been earthy and rustic. Not typical of previous vintages that have been rich, pleasant to the palate with well balanced tannins on the finish. We always decant at least an hour and consume over the next two or three. Anyone else with a similar experience with the 2018 vintage? Disappointed.

2018 Saintsbury Pinot Noir Dijon Clone 777 Stanly Ranch

Purchased six bottles at the winery based on tasting. Decanted the first three and they just seemed disjointed. The most recent bottle was double decanted and consumed at a local sushi restaurant. This time around the wine was silky on the palate and the fruit was delicate and pleasant to consume.
