2009 Chappellet Petite SirahNapa Valley more |
6/27/2021 - davewr Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis vintage should probably be consumed within the next year. Lost some of it's umph. But still very tasty. Blue fruit, red plum, notes of black cherry. What's missing is the earthy notes. Had with a Caribbean/Jerk marinaded smoked sirloin. With the fruits in the marinade it paired nicely but was not the star of the dinner. |

2015 Ken Wright Pinot Noir Willamette Valleymore |
4/4/2021 - davewr Likes this wine: 90 pointsNotes of black raspberry, spice, and light earthy nose. Palates shows the raspberry again with hints of plum (after sitting open, red cherry appears), hint of nuttiness, touch of herb and oak spice, just enough earthiness to make it interesting. Still drinking well but can see this dropping off dramatically. Drink now. |
