Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Medium lemon color, aromas of stone and citrus fruits with floral, honey and herb floral earthy notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peach and pear with citrus and floral wrapped in a nutty earthy spice. Medium+ finish, lively acidity, ending with fruit, herbs, spice and savory citrus character. — a month ago

Can’t help myself. Outstanding. The 15s are exceptionally approachable. At least this one is! — 7 years ago

Really reminds me of burgundy. Neutral oak. Has a bit of that burgundy gym sock action going on. Lots of pretty, wild dandelion flowers. Great acid. — 11 years ago

Light purple. Floral and raspberry aromas. Rich flavor mix of tutti frutti, black currant and dominant savory flavors, centered on lactic acid. Not soy sauce or miso but almost tamari? Difficult to dissect. Tart finish, light to moderate skin astringency with some seed bitterness on finish. Maybe too young to drink. Pity as this was our last bottle. — 7 months ago

Wishing I had procured a case. Splendid and unique. Splash of orange with a distinct pleasant petroleum nose/palette. Chris Berg the winemaker owner of Roots is a wizard of extraordinary gifts. Absolutely love this project! — 6 years ago

The 2012 vintage represents an outstanding growing year. This estate-grown Pinot Noir displays deep ruby color w scents of blackberry, cassis & warm forest floor aroma. Overflowing w lush flavors of plum, dark spice & orange zest. The finish is impressive, filling the mouth w complex flavors that linger. — 10 years ago
