2014 Bergström Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard
12/25/2023 - jonmartin1520 Likes this wine: 94 Points
Dark and beautiful ruby red color in the glass. Aroma of cherry and strawberry along with some baking spices. Light to medium body, juicy and ripe with flavors of cherry and raspberry. Longish finish. This drank very very well, but might not have a ton of time left in it for a drinking window.

2020 Hayfork Cabernet Sauvignon Field Select Lewelling Ranch
12/25/2023 - jonmartin1520 Likes this wine: 94 Points
Opened this bottle to pair with Christmas dinner of prime rib, potatoes, carrots, and popovers. The Field Select is the reserve wine from Hayfork. The wine was great. Smells of cocoa, espresso, and some floral notes. Tastes of dark plum, black raspberry, some spice, maybe some leather and sweet tobacco. The wine has integrated tannin and a longish finish. I suspect this bottle could age another 15ish years, however I am a bit afraid of 2020 wines so I drink them early when possible. I will certainly seek out other vintages of Hayfork wines.

2009 Château Malescot St. Exupéry
12/25/2023 - jonmartin1520 Likes this wine: 95 Points
The wine was inky-purple colored. A is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like mineral, forest floor, cedar, rose, raspberry and black currant (cassis). Flavors of raspberry, black currant (cassis), mushroom, black pepper and plum. Medium bodied wine that felt smooth and round in the mouth. Nice medium long finish. There are enough tannins and acid to think this wine has at least another 10-15 years at a near peak drinking window
