TD-9 Napa Valley Red Blend 2022

Strong up front, Black cherry and bright flavor and balanced finish. Really smooth after decanting and drinking over two hours . On the second day I decanted for two hours and it really opened up and was easy and sweet with a smooth finish. I loved it the second day. One of my favorite wines. — 22 days ago

Dijon Clone Freedom Hill Vineyard Chardonnay 2022

Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, vanilla and nutty scents. On the palate complex flavors of apple, peach, pineapple and lemon citrus, cinnamon notes, well balanced with acidity on a nice mouthfeel. Long finish ending with oak, vanilla, mineral and citrus notes, will continue to age. A beautiful Chardonnay. — 5 months ago

McHenry Vineyard

Swan Clone Pinot Noir 2022

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2022 “Swan Clone” pours a pale garnet color with a transparent core, medium viscosity and no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is youthful with mostly tart red fruits: strawberry, raspberry, rhubarb, herbs and underbrush along with some warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Lean and fresh, this needs quite a bit of time to flesh out. Drink now with sights set towards the future but this will be better after 2027 and through 2042. Only 75 cases made. — 9 months ago

My neighbor who is a Scotch guy brought this out. He wasn’t so keen on it. I liked it. Cranberry with a splash of smokiness. — 5 months ago

Ayler Kupp Faß 9 Kern Riesling 2017

Pale yellow.
Grapefruit, lemon, pear, ginger, green herbs, rockdust and wonderful hints of orangeblossom!
Crystalline, bright, elegant. Beautiful ‘feinherb’-balance: just a hint of sweetness in the opening, meets racy acidity, and a clean dry finish.
Lovely wine, good quality, very quaffable at 10% ABV.
