Community Tasting Notes 3

  April 17, 2020 - Pinpoint accurate Russian River Pinot Noir. The flavors are complex and the wine finishes nicely. Purchased as part of a virtual tasting and I'll be going back for more.
  11/25/2020 - And I did go back for more. My local wine store had a sale and I picked up a half case. Does not disappoint.

  September 28, 2019 - U.S. Pinot Noirs (1-'15, 4-'16s, & 1-'17) + 1 Shared Tasmanian '16 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): 100% P.N. from Confidant Vyd; Barrel aged for 16 mos in FR oak (25% new); 225 cases produced. Judging by the notes for the '15, I'm guessing this was bottled without fining or filtration.
  
  N: Slightly closed; Red rasps, probably wild straws
  
  P: Med body; Rndish entry with NICE, almost swtish frt met by an astringent pucker which DOES pretty much resolve by the LONG, balanced finish with a tangy/swtness to the dusty tannins. NEEDS through '20, poss a tad more, then drinking nicely through '23. NICELY done! My EXC-/EXC+ (90-93/100 on that metric). [Check with this vendor if interested in their pricing.]

  September 21, 2019 - Winebar [1 Rosé, 3 Whites, 8 Reds, & 6 *shared* bottles] from 09/20/19 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): 100% P.N. from Confidant Vyd; Barrel aged for 16 mos in FR oak (25% new); 225 cases produced. Judging by the notes for the '15, I'm guessing this was bottled without fining or filtration.
  
  N: CLOSED, but SEEMS *ripe* & towards the plummy side of the frt spectrum; Intensity lurking?
  
  P: LM body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt firmed by a BIT of astringent pucker which pretty much works itself out by the LONG, balanced finish with a pleasant tangy/swtness to the few firming, yet fairly innocuous, dusty tannins. For now with food, could improve for 6-12 mos, then drink into, probably through, '23. Nicely done! My EXC- (90, 91/100 on that metric). [Check with this vendor if interested in their pricing.]
