2011 Drew Family Cellars Pinot Noir Valenti RanchMendocino Ridge more |
4/2/2013 - Hex triplet #43302E Likes this wine: NRStraightforward, juicy, good depth of red fruit. Purple-red color, showing its youth. Easy to quaff. Good balance - no candied sweetness or noticeable alcohol on the finish, which are real turn-offs for me. |

10/4/2013 - Hex triplet #43302E Likes this wine: NRA little reduction that blew off. Intense red fruit. Complex. Nice grip. Powerful, but not heavy or tiring. Savory, not sweet. Very enjoyable. I drank it to test its character: young and juicy at this point...all about potential, for me. |

2/27/2011 - Hex triplet #43302E wrote: NRPopped 'n poured, drunk over 2 hours. Deep plum/purple color. Zin really comes through on the nose and in the mouth. Still very primary. Big and jammy up front, moves ends with some dusty tannins. Clearly needs a year or two, but fun to try. |

A hint of bitter on the finish. Fine tannins. Elegant. Reticent at opening, better with some air. Enjoyable for its elegance - has depth, complexity, but balanced and not sweet or hot. |

2015 Ca' Di Pesa Chianti Classico RiservaChianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more |
4/12/2019 - Hex triplet #43302E Likes this wine: 93 pointsDay 2 for bottle. Marked improvement over day 1 - demonstrates the need for a few years in bottle, IMO. Dark crimson. Earth, sour cherry and raspberry a touch of tea on the nose. Confirmed those elements when tasted, with a bit of strawberry in the mix. The oak and the structure receded so the fruit came through more. Overall, very nice indeed. |

4/6/2013 - Hex triplet #43302E Likes this wine: 93 pointsBlack and red fruit, good structure, some vanilla from oak. Beautifully soft, silky but also acid to provide freshness. Seductive and hard to stop drinking. Still has 5-7 years of life, but no need to wait. Best Chianti Classico I've had. |
