2022 Trader Joe's Pinot Noir Grand Reserve Lot # 23 Carneros
4/13/2024 - ChristoBretts Likes this wine: 90 Points
A Trader Joes purchase. PnP. Classic Pinot on the nose and palate. Could age a bit more, perhaps a year, but even now it is good to go. Solid Pinot fruit, not sweet, enough intensity to enjoy on its own. A very good QPR if you are looking for an every day pinot. Obviously there are better Pinot Noir, particularly at twice the price. At $13, difficult to beat.

2014 Clos de l'Oratoire

Still solid. Medium body, compote and woody nose, earthy forest floor compost on the palate. Medium-high acidity, tannins integrated. Hard to beat even at current prices.

2010 Château Kirwan
4/7/2024 - ChristoBretts Likes this wine: 90 Points
Decanted and drank over two days. Black fruit and tar, some alcohol burn on the nose. On the palate, medium heavy body, dark compote, medium tannin, not nuanced in the least. Medium compote finish with a slight edge. For a 2010 Margaux, I was hoping for something more than was delivered. Perhaps this will evolve into something with an interesting twist, but at this point, I find it a medium heavy roundish wine without character. If you have some, wait, if you're considering buying a lot, try one out first.
