Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 11, 2022 - Pretty cool and generous (but that is who he is) of Ramon to break out both the 2002 WS Pinots to share with Blake who was in town. So, we ended up with the 2002 Sonoma County and the Russian River bottlings, and for good measure, Blake brought the 1997 WS Rochioli so we had this cool trip of WS history to taste. For my taste in comparing the 2002s, I preferred the SC as it just drank better for me, for my palate. Where the RRV shows a more creamy red fruited profile with spice and tang, the SC has better delineation, offering both earth and acidity, herb, hard cherry candy and a bit of jamminess in the finish. No heat in these wines, no apparent oak. The early era WS are still delicious.
