Porch Swing

MacRostie Winery & Vineyards

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2019

Ruby in color with medium intensity and a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of raspberries, strawberries, sweet cherries, light oak, chocolates and light spices.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, light wood, earth, bitter herbs, light vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee and black pepper.

Nice spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is an enjoyable Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast.

Easy drinking and good for parties. Showing mild complexity with a nice smooth mouthfeel.

Spicy and entertaining. A good porch wine, too. Would be interesting to try it again in 3 years.

Shows light barnyard on the nose, that gets lighter after an hour of airtime. After 2 hours of airtime, it drinks more like a Beaujolais. Interesting stuff.

Good by itself or with food. Paired wonderfully with a fresh brick oven pizza with prosciutto, parmesan and arugula.

Aged in French oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Green apple, chamomile tea, and a touch of white flowers. Fabulous acidity and a hint of waxy texture. Give me a sunny porch and an ice cold bottle. Thanks @danpetroski — 5 years ago

Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence Grenache Blend 2018

Really lovely. Drinking this brought me immediately to southern France. Such a great memory brought on by this bottle, a gift from Patrick, drunk on the back porch. — 6 years ago

This red blend from Columbia Valley is easy drinking and tasty.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with mild complexity.

Showing black fruits with earth, wood, spices, chocolates, light vegetables, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco and black pepper.

A good everyday wine to sip on by the porch. Tangy and spicy.

Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime.

Good by itself or with food. I paired it with cheeses and crackers.
