2021 Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast

This is real subdued still. Dark, forest floor sort of vibes with a strong raspberry thing coming alive on the second night. The palate shows a dark fruited skin quality. Strongly tannic yet. A more bitter citrus feel on the palate is very present. Hard choice between somewhat closed or just without the power to express itself fully. Again though, for the normale SC bottling this is quite dark, structured and shy. Not as generous as one might usually expect from this bottling but that could also mean its a step up in terms of depth. Time will tell.

That taste from two months back was no lark. This is quite nice. Fresh and chalky. Very lively. Terrific balance. Even some sweet flavors on the low 1.1g/L dosage. 74% Pinot Meunier, 15% Chard and the rest from perpetual reserve going back to '98. This version is base 2020.Disgorged 11/22. A great dinner compantion.

2014 Domaine Charvin Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Elegance from CdP. I sometimes forget its possible here. This wine has it. Classic spicy cooked strawberry with touches of leather and garrigue. Hints of wood and stem. No over-ripeness here. Lowish extraction too. The tannin is quite strong for a Grenache based wine. Even a bit astringent. Quite good overall and in a good window. It will surely live for a long time but the fruit density isn't something for the ages. Have a nice rich stew type of dinner now. This was great with leftover Indian.
