Antica Terra
Botanica Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2017
One of America’s best, in winemaker Maggie Harrison. Great to find this on a list with a bit of age. There’s such a beguiling combination of savory earth, mineral and rich cherry fruit flavors, with killer concentration, a plush texture and serious length. Top notch Domestic Pinot for sure. — 2 months ago

Dits del Terra Priorat Carignane 2021
High acidity and quite a lot of tannins, but well rounded. Black and blueberries with herbal notes. Excellent with food, quite good by itself. Needs to breathe a little. — a month ago

Fattoria Galardi
Terra di Lavoro Roccamonfina Aglianico Piedirosso 2010
Opened and decanted 2.5 hours in advance of our inaugural Aglianco Osso Buco wine dinner here at the Gotham
Facing off against a range of Aglianco from Unti in Sonoma, Leonetti in WA and Galardi 2007 in Campania
The 2010 Galardi was the most dense and as with the 2007, the fruit was minimal. Instead the flavor profile is herbs, green olives and incredible savory notes. It worked incredibly well with the osso buco and needed the richness to shine. This wine still had a bit of hard edges and could use more bottle age IMO — a month ago
"Odedi"
Ruby in color with a very wide reddish rim, and medium plus intensity.
Stinky nose (in a good way) that reminds me of Northern Rhône.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, currants, light oak, tobacco leaf, herbs, spices, dark chocolates, barnyard, bitter herbs, light vegetables, earth, black tea, and black pepper.
Long finish with fine-grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This young Pinot Noir from California is already drinking beautifully. Elegant and interesting. Fruit forward with a touch of Burgundy in style.
Well balanced with nice complexity, and a great mouthfeel.
Needs 90 minutes in the decanter to open up properly, so be patient.
The nose feels like Northern Rhône, while the palate feels like Burgundy. What an interesting Pinot Noir.
This Single Vineyard Pinot will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.
Good by itself or with food. A delicious sipping wine that I paired with cheeses and crackers.
100% Pinot Noir grapes were aged in (40% new) French Oak barrels for 16 months. Unfiltered, unfined and vegan. A small production of 7,350 bottles.
14% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
