Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013
This is a big Central Coast Pinot. 2013 Las Alturas Santa Lucia Highland. Dark Cherry fruit. Silky with balance front to finish. Its drinkable now but I would hold on to it for another 3-4 years. Because its big and fruit forward, not my favorite style Pinot, I wouldn't hold over 6 years. This is my first from the Las Alturas. I paired it with Alaskan Salmon but it would pair much better with duck, game hen or quail. You could even enjoy this big boy with grilled steak and veggies. One of the darkest Pinots I have experienced from this region.
After letting this wine sit and open up I am getting blackberry and some currants and spice. Still a very rich and big Pinot. I will say it is enjoyable on its own.
Enjoy, drink what you like and like what you drink! — 10 years ago

Sans Liege
Groundwork Mourvèdre
2012 Sans Liege Groundwork Mouvedre. Price point at $24. Paso Robles. This is a must for those of you who enjoy a good price point wine. Excellent with meat. I enjoyed it with Lamb Chops, sautéed new potatoes, mushrooms with chard.
One of those Rhone blend this Mouvedre stands on its own. — 10 years ago
