Dinner at Providence (Providence, Los Angeles, USA): A red hued nose of rhubarb and raspberry, with just a smattering of earth and aniseed. The palate shows restraint with a good balance between delicate red fruit and earthy savoury characteristics. It isn’t especially complex but it is drinking well and is quite enjoyable now.

Rose ruby color. Very ripe cherry and strawberry aromas with vanilla creamsicle. Touches of tangerine peel, flower patch, sagebrush - but these are mostly way underneath the prominent fruit, and I'm actually not really a fruit sensitive taster. Rich and concentrated on the palate without seeming over-extracted. Not, however, showing much complexity or subtlety or individuality. It's a wine I like and enjoy more than I can objectively score it.

14.5% ABV IIRC. Somewhat translucent cloudy dark garnet in the glass. Aromatic black cherry with a nice herbal note followed by a sense of savory earth. Medium-full bodied with nicely balanced elements of ripe but savory black cherry. Well done.

Not bad by any means, but this wine just didn't have anything special going on, especially when compared to their amazing Selection Massale and other single vineyard offerings. The nose has bright red fruit and a bit of floral scents, mid-palate was a bit muted and the finish was very short. Wines don't have to be complex to be good, but this was just, dare I say, boring, and this is coming from someone who buys a lot of Holdredge wines.

Nose of strawberries and cherries, with a hint of sous bois. Palate is round and plush, but also has some grippy minerality on the finish. There is something slightly restrained about the style that I like.

Really nice balanced wine. Good acid, good fruit, bright, deep.

$53 at Reef in Houston. Restrained and delicate, especially for a Sonoma Pinot.

Excellent Pinot. Cherry fruit, a bit of earth, nice acid. Drunk without decanting, got better after 30 minutes in the glass.
