Sparkling Rosé Sunset Knoll Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023

Pretty color of salmon with a gold hue.

Fruity nose of raspberries, strawberries, apples, pears, light yeast and light spices.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity, and medium sized bubbles.

Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, pears, yellow apples, tangerines, light yeast, spices, minerals, herbs and white pepper.

Long finish with limes and apples.

This is a delicious Rosé from Carneros in California. Complex and nicely balanced. Elegant and fruit forward.

I had this vintage a year ago, and it is already drinking much better now.

This Single Vineyard sparkling Rosé will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and better when not too cold.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, and paired beautifully with my seafood platter.

100% Pinot Noir grapes.

12.8% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$40.

Happy Spring! It’s one of our favorite points in the year. More; daylight, a little warmer in CA and everything starts to bloom which, means a long summer of gardening and being outdoors every day/night is not far off.

Since it was such a great day and basically most Californians are shut-Ins, the voluntary self quarantining was getting to me. I did the landscaping and got an afternoon of fresh air today. A breath of fresh air...ahhh! Wow, was it needed after Gavin’s Newsom’s estimate of 25.5 million Californians would be infected with Coronavirus over 8 weeks yesterday.

So, a good night to celebrate another day of being virus free with my 2nd favorite N/V Rosé Champagne.

All my numerous previous notes apply.

Stay safe everyone and remember the new terminology of the new decade...social distancing! Cheers! 🍾🥂

Nate Walsh and his Terroir Testimony. Year after year, he crafts liquid, articulate, honeydew wine...this one aged to perfection! 2014 allowed for plenty of acidity - and this the ideal match to a honey-baked ham with Roo Scalloped Potatoes!! — 8 years ago

Deep ruby coloration with zero translucency. Strong, jammy black fruits with oak and vanilla on the nose and mirrored on the palate with notes of spice. Long finish. Extremely rich and lush mouthfeel. — 7 months ago

Estate Club Select Nebbiolo 2012

Wow! My cellar aging project scores another ‘discovery’ win. At almost 10 years from harvest, this Nate Walsh built beauty was doing what aged Nebbiolo is supposed to do! Using Horton fruit (Orange, Va), this bottle has metamorphosed into a seductive herbal-rose tea. It’s acidity is almost non-detectable, yet it was the perfect pairing for Tuscan-sausages & peppers w/creamy mash. The flavors of this Nebbiolo are so alive that they danced effortlessly with the sautéed peppers and complimented the herbs in the locally made Tuscans. Just wow…1 ‘12 remains plus 2 ‘10’s. — 4 years ago

Virginia Petit Verdot 2010

At ninefor years this richly extracted and concentrated PV is really turning that beautiful third turn. Bordeaux concentration with a polished and seductive finish are the hallmarks of this solid gold medal wine.  Took this to Tuskies and paired with fillet tips, venison rack and lamb shank. Served all three proteins with complementary harmony.  — 7 years ago

Sunset Blush

This was an enjoyable blush with a nice, sweet, fruitful flavor. A good wine to serve for guest that don’t normally do reds or rose. It’s definitely on the sweeter side, but that didn’t stop me from having a glass or two or three. — 8 years ago
