2018 Domaine Giachino Mondeuse Cuvée Viticole

Vin de Savoie more

2/16/2021 - RandomCoil Does not like this wine: 84 points

This just isn’t good. Bright, crunchy, and funky - but none of these in a good way.

Way too hot on opening, but a few hours later, a lot of the EtOH was gone, and then this was potable.

2016 Idlewild Dolcetto Fox Hill Vineyard

Mendocino County more

The other reviews indicate this is exactly what it was aiming to be - a domestic version of a notoriously tannic but light-bodied wine.

Nothing really stands out here. And the QPR is miserable.

We bought this at the winery, at the end of one of the most intimate tours ever. My tasting today is uncolored by that though. This is just simply amazing.

Great acid and earthiness. Could be mistaken for old world. Amazing stuff.

Petrol for days. Slightly sweet. Reminds me of an old-world Riesling.

Mint, basil, and tea leaves on the nose, pure fruit and tanning on the palate.

Purchased at the winery and tasted again now. Smokey and dark fruit. I would have probably called this a Syrah if tasted blind.

Heavily extracted, syrupy, almost oily. Overdone and flabby for the most part. Horrible QPR.

An austere, old-world style of PN that fits great with fruit. A great mid-point for Burgundy and Oregon.

Still a lot of green in this one. I felt like this was more well-rounded 8 months ago and even better 1.5 years ago. Drink up.

Nothing particularly right or wrong here. No faults, no strengths. Fruity. It epitomizes California Pinot Noir.
