2012 Carlisle Syrah Papa's BlockRussian River Valley more |

2013 Gary Farrell Chardonnay Westside Farms Russian River Valleymore |
3/31/2019 - kenthargis wrote: 90 pointsFull bodied, rich, ripe, but still enough acidity and fruit to be quite enjoyable. Tropical fruits. Interesting contrast to the 2014. This seems a bit bigger. |

2006 Ramey Cabernet Sauvignon Pedregal VineyardOakville more |
3/10/2019 - kenthargis wrote: 93 pointsThis was excellent. A bit more modern and big for my style typically, but the fruit here was wonderful with a great combination of depth, complexity and color. Really a wonderful wine worth seeking out. |

2005 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon EstateSt. Helena more |
3/10/2019 - kenthargis wrote: 92 pointsVery nice, all in place as it should be. Somehow it didn't speak to me in the same way as some other recent vintages. Normally I'm totally blown away by this wine. Everything was correct from the color to the alcohol/tannin/structure ratio. Hard to clarify what it was, but more something about the complexity I think. |

2012 Gary Farrell Pinot Noir Hallberg VineyardRussian River Valley more |
2/24/2019 - kenthargis wrote: 87 pointsI typically very much enjoy this wine. While it was still good, the complexity of the fruit was slightly less than in some previous vintages I've had. Also, it was a bit heavier of a wine and less fresh. Drink up. |

2012 Carlisle Zinfandel KirschenmannLodi more |
2/24/2019 - kenthargis wrote: 91 pointsThe bottle note is quite correct that this is a more elegant, feminine style of Zin. Beautiful wine and such a nice contrast to some Zins out there. Almost pinot like in some aspects (not the fruit). Fun to pair this with one of their heavier Zins as a contrast. |

2/18/2019 - kenthargis wrote: 93 pointsDrank all three of the expositions together. What a fun experience. Colorwise generally similar, dark. Flavor profiles were quite different, although equally good. What a treat to compare and contrast them. Think #3 was my fav. |
