Rancho la Viña Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

2022 vintage. Tasted with the winemaker Matt Brady. Nearly equal (and maybe better) to the 2021 vintage. Jumped at the 2021 effort so no room for this one but absolutely delicious follow-up. Spice, tannins, fruit all in balance and verry harmonious. It’s Pinots like this that keep me sold on the Santa Rita Hills as dayumed likely the best pinot-producing area in CA. 03.12.25 — 24 days ago

Rising Tides Paso Robles Syrah Blend

Bought a case of this from Matt (winemaker) in 2008 when their tasting room was more of a shack. This is the last of the vintage and it’s just so good. A lot going on in this bottle still. Complex and earthy. Glad we waited! — 2 years ago

Silver Eagle Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018

First wine I’ve had from this producer and another notch in Matt Courtney’s belt. A really beautiful Sonoma Coast Pinot through and through with fantastic energy, texture, structure, and balance. Earthy berries. Stone fruits. Layers upon layers of aromas and flavors. Reads a bit hot at 14.1%. Stunning wine, but is it worth 2.5 times the price of Faiveley Mercurey? 🤷🏼‍♂️ — 2 years ago

The Marigny Super Deluxe Cuvée Pinot Noir 2022

I seem to like every wine Andy makes from package to palate. Natural, but done the right way. Not a science experiment. Charming, playful, and restrained. Incredibly easy to drink. — 9 months ago

The Marigny Direct Press Sur Lie Pinot Gris

Whoa! This was a surprise. Tart apple, Brie cheese. Slightly effervescent. In that ABv sweet spot as well. Drink with impunity. — 3 years ago

Disco Nap Willamette Valley Trousseau Gris Pinot Gris

Power nap of Pinot Gris and Chardonnay - utterly awesome. Easy on the eyes and deep inside. Restorative and stimulating.

Big and sturdy from time in oak. Blood oranges, green herbs, peanut brittle, and Palo Santo. The weirdest mix of wonderful things.
