2008 Merry Edwards Pinot Noir CoopersmithRussian River Valley more |
6/15/2014 - jimmyandbrooke wrote: 92 pointsQuite nice. Seemed overly acidic at first, but after letting it sit out it seemed to mellow. Bright acid and fruit forward. |

2/14/2014 - jimmyandbrooke wrote: 85 pointsFlat...drinkable but nothing special. Had before and really enjoyed it. Storage problems? Off bottle? Past its prime? |

10/13/2012 - jimmyandbrooke wrote: 84 pointsMiddling performance. Can't tell if it was a bad bottle or too young or didn't wait long enough for decanting. 3 hrs didn't improve it. Not bad but not worth the cost. One note. Fine but not interesting. |

1/1/2012 - jimmyandbrooke wrote: 90 pointsNice strawberry color and strawberry on the nose. Bright fruit with acid. Cork was completely saturated, which, considering our last bottle that tasted spoiled, makes me think this run may have had some issues. We will try to drink these sooner rather than later. Of course, your mileage may vary. Drinking well now. |

9/30/2011 - jimmyandbrooke wrote: 93 pointsDrinking well now. Dark stone fruit on the palate with well integrated acid. Would pair really well with food. |

2006 Unti Vineyards Syrah BenchlandDry Creek Valley more |
9/21/2011 - jimmyandbrooke wrote: 88 pointsVery nice. Big fruit. Jammy. I prefer syrah with a bit more acid, but it was good nonetheless. Stored overnight under vacuum. Still good the next day. Drinking well now. |

2006 Dobbes Family Estate Syrah Sundown VineyardRogue Valley more |
5/29/2011 - jimmyandbrooke wrote: 93 pointsTight at first, but really opened up with aeration (Vinturi...we were lazy tonight). Nicely balanced acidity. Soft tannins. Deep purple hue. Very nice dark fruit flavors, particularly blueberry and huckleberry. We really liked this wine. We guess it could age a few more years, but it's drinking nicely now with some time to open. |

5/24/2011 - jimmyandbrooke wrote: 84 pointsJammy. A weird aftertaste I can't place. Not as well balanced as the price point suggests. |

2008 Porter Creek Viognier Timbervine RanchRussian River Valley more |
11/12/2010 - jimmyandbrooke wrote: 85 pointsThis is a belated entry, so these notes are only my recollection of the tasting. Full. We kept thinking of it as "unctuous" that night. Some acid, though perhaps could use more. Melon fruited notes. |

2006 De Ponte Cellars Pinot Noir EstateDundee Hills more |
11/12/2010 - jimmyandbrooke wrote: 84 pointsDecent, but nothing spectacular. We had it several weeks back, and I forgot to add my thoughts at the time. From what I recall, it had some nice fruit and tobacco notes. Perhaps a bit oaky, which we didn't expect. |
