2020 Stolpman Syrah Originals
5/8/2024 - mac-eye Likes this wine: 94 Points
Remarkably good. Right now, at 4 years, it's already drinking very well, despite a bit of youthful edginess. The edges will soften over the next coupe of years. Excellent QPR. The 2020 is up there with some of the best previous Stolpman Originals, which were also excellent. I accidentally bought more of this than I meant to, and now I'm glad I did.

2017 Lucienne Pinot Noir Doctor's Vineyard
5/2/2024 - mac-eye Likes this wine: 92 Points
Remarkably good for the price. While similar to some other SLH pinots, this one is better. It may be at its peak for enjoyment now. Not anywhere near the end of its drinking window. Still has quite an intense youthfulness. Perhaps drink up by 2027?

2017 Blue Farm Pinot Noir Estate Grown Anne Katherina

Remarkably good pinot. It was already good in 2022 and significantly better now in 2024. Nowhere near the end of its drinking window now. Oddly, there are no CT tasting notes before this one, but 14 user opinions saying the drinking window ends in 2025. If I had more - I wish I did - I would keep some for at least a few more years.
Not sure how to describe why I like it so much... my words and wine don't mix well. Definitely new world style, with a little bit of sweetness and a lot of fruit, but that doesn't do it justice.
