Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2014

9.2

Virtual tasting with Texture Wines and winemaker Erich Bradley. Big thanks to @Joe Lucca for setting it up.

Anderson Valley fruit. A blend of Ferrington Vineyard and Deer Meadows. Somewhat surprising is that this is 100% destemmed. Based on how the Lucky Well chardonnay was so old world in style, I’d assume some whole cluster or stem inclusion, but based on vineyard location, they feel like the tannin can be easier to achieve and there is no need to increase.

I only gave this about a 30min bottle decant and while it was approachable, it was significantly better at the 3+hr mark. Initially, it was driven by a slightly syrupy/maple richness that seemed out of place. It dominated the other aspects (candied black cherries, potpourri, baking spices) but eventually yielded to a more lifted profile and added black pepper spice. Day two picked up where day one ended showing a more elegant and spice driven profile. I’d say this probably won’t get much better, but definitely give it some air.

Jennifer Block Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Some of you know this wine is special to me since @Diana L and I serendipitously helped sort these grapes during crush in 2014. Time in bottle has brought out some nice complexity; crushed blackberries, backyard mint, blueberry pie, road tar, venison jerky, briar berry, campfire, dried herbs, garrigue, field stones, molasses. Perfect balance of fruit and acidity. Nicely textured tannins grip on the finish. Such a great expression of Moon Mountain fruit handled by the master @Erich Bradley — 7 years ago

Fantesca

Russian River Valley Chardonnay

Vertical of 2008-2011. All quite similar, except for the 2009, seemed to oxidize a bit quicker. More of a toasted/nuttiness to it. All had great balance, bright fruit, slight toast and great acid. Really fun to try a lineup like this. Thanks Bradley! — 8 years ago

Virtual tasting with Texture Wines and winemaker Erich Bradley.

This is my second time with this wine in the last 18 months, the first being back in San Antonio for the WNH event when
@Joe Lucca
brought it. Joe was the key component to getting the Texture Wines virtual tasting setup. Wonderful time.

I gave this about a two hour decant and it needed every bit of it. In the glass, I was shocked at how golden and amber it was (Erich addressed this during our tasting and said he likes to get a bit of oxygen to it early on to prevent any type of premox later in its life). Meyer lemon, lemon oil, sea salt, oyster shell and crushed limestone dominate the nose. Even some candied pineapple. Electric on the palate with zero trace of oak accompanied by bright citrus. So much tart but flavorful fruit carried by high acidity. Towards the end of night one, the finish had a note of soft pink cotton candy. On day two, the fruit became more rich and honeyed. This is built like grand cru Chablis and isn’t fading for at least 7-10yrs.

A true candidate for proprietor Bradley Brown’s best generic PN to date. Bursting with ripe strawberries and loamy mineral scents, this medium bodied offering show a stemmy tannic grip and loads of juicy freshness. This is exactly what many US producers are aiming for, but few delivers. — 8 years ago

Homestead Block Roussanne 2017

Nicely done. I like the Amphora texture and acidity. Queveri-ish. Good food wine. For on its own enjoyment, would love to see lightly topped with late harvest Roussanne. Lemon+Honey 🐝





I also want to bury the Amphora ceremoniously, with you (Bradley) and Randall Grahm.... on an eclipse/lunar biodynamic magical night, you already got the patio with a firepit to fulfill the bonfire... cow horns and crystals for everyone :) haha

Not familiar with this producer. At first, there was some funk it needed to blow off...little bit of Brett, even a touch of VA. Finally some old plum, smoked fig and cherry tobacco leaves arrived. Fairly light bodied and bright on the palate...medium acidity, black cherry flesh, sage and herbal spice on the palate. Thanks @Bradley Davis — 7 years ago

A truly spectacular wine. It’s Godzilla wearing a pair of Cinderella slippers. It will tip toe across your palate effortlessly and with finesse but demands your full attention and respect while never letting go of you. The finish is stunningly long & begs you to take another sip 🙌👏👏🙌😘.
Thank you Bradley for a badass tasting and for your hospitality which was 2nd to none
Our stay was a winning bid from the Palm Beach Wine Auction and I’ll make sure we win this one again next year!!!!! The entire Lokoya team are Rockstars! Bradley, Brian, Leona and one of the best chef’s on the planet Tracey Shepos Cenami!!! Thank you for an Epic stay atop of the wine world!

Ferrington Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015

This is the ‘15 Ferrington single vineyard (not showing up on Delectable). Such a baby, needed an hour to become approachable. Crystal clear flavors - black cherry hard candy, autumn leaves, Mexican coca-cola, dried mushrooms, strawberry jam, black truffle, dried herbs. Burgundian winemaking style by @Erich Bradley using new world fruit. — 9 years ago

@David L I have the spring releases, need to order the two fall releases, they called while I was away. I haven’t tried the single vineyard Chards yet, still drinking my 14s. Might do a Chard today to compare to the 14

@Mike R enjoy! Let me know what you think. I believe you have the ‘14 which is a blend of vineyards. In ‘15, they moved both the Chard and Pinot to single vineyard designations.
