2014 Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Summa Vineyard
11/25/2023 - tjbsmf Likes this wine: 91 Points
Opened and decanted roughly 30 minutes. Nose is medium intensity of sweet and sour red cherries, black cherry, cranberries, orange bitters, celery, dried leaves, baking spices. Palette is still quite primary, sweet black cherry dominates, followed by acidic tart cranberry and spicy, fine tannic finish that lingers. A bit disjointed but really nice. Somehow Im not sure that this will come together with more time in bottle but I have one left and will keep it another couple of years to find out.

2020 Bartolo Mascarello Dolcetto d'Alba
4/1/2023 - tjbsmf Likes this wine:
Needed about an hour of air, but once it blew off some a bit of the VA, this was high-toned and juicy, red and black fruited, floral and earthy, with a bit of spice and tannic grip on the finish. Perfect with pasta and marcella hazan's simple tomato sauce.

Fantastic! Extremely aromatic: Black cherry, cranberry, blood orange, fennel. Similar on palette, with some spice. M+ acid and tannin, med body. Everything in harmony.
