Domaine de la Cote Memorious 2015, Santa Rita Hills 13.5% ABV
3.5 acres, 700'elev. A Raj Parr and Sashi Moorman project.
Glass: Garnet moving to tawny. At first, I thought it looked a bit old. Wrong.Nice core, slight bricking on the edge. Clean, clear.
Nose: Big red fruits, cherry, strawberry and raspberry Hints of all three... a little bit of funk on the backside... not distracting at all just added a little character.
Taste: muted on the front end, big a full on the back end. A little bit of a sour back end (matches the nose). Still hss good acidity, freshness about it. Long finish.

BYO USA (Centropa, Oslo, Norway): Middels dyp rød med noe modning i kanten. Rik og ganske intens duft av modne mørke bær og et hint av bålrøyk. Saltpreget mineralitet (som med Dom de la Côte La Côte - et kjennetegn hos produsenten?). God konsentrasjon og ganske "tight" bærpreg av bringebær.

A Medlar lunch (Medlar, London): Mid ruby. Lovely, fresh, lifted, stemmy nose.,wild strawberry. Just a hint of sous bois. Silky. More depth than last night’s 13 Santa Rita Hills. A touch of cranberry and rose petal. Long and lingering with a floaty character. *****

Fading fruit. Remember others as more alive and interesting. But I generally love these wines
