Shotfire Barossa Shiraz 2020

High acidity, very dry. It’s earthy, menthol with dark fruit and leather. — a month ago

Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2007

I don’t think of Clark Smith as a Pinot Noir kind of guy, but I knew he made wines that age. This was no exception, nothing short of sensational. — a month ago

Simply delectable. Such a full flavor and on the dry end for a Pinot noir. My wife and I loved — 18 days ago

Pretty intense for a Cab Franc, but I loved it. Bonnie found it a bit harsh. — 2 months ago

Pachyderm Thorn Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Pale ruby color- very translucent. Had to give this one a 30 min. decanting. Muted red fruit flavors, black olive, floral notes and earthy. The 10 years has given this some interesting flavors of cranberry, cherry, baking spices and a red fruit finish. — 7 months ago

Clark & Telephone Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir 2023

What a wonderful wine!!! We enjoyed it with a surf/turf dinner (steak & scallops). It was full bodied enough to go along with steak while remaining light enough so it didn’t overwhelm the scallops… — 17 days ago

Tried two of their more current releases, 21 Russian River & 21 Crown Gap and this 2017 Thorn Ridge from Magnum. Always consistent, solid Pinots from KB. Paired well with the Duck.

At Pebble Beach Food & Wine 2025.

The ticket to this event has a pretty big price tag. But when you consider what a Napa etc. tasting or two and lunch would cost you, you are pretty much there and there is so much more than that. It ends up having great value. It’s wine, spirits and food candy land.

9.1

1hr+ decant. Dark purple color. Dark fruit and cough medicine, with hints of prunes and baking spices on the nose. Cough medicine and more alcohol than I expected on the palate. Zero oak and lacks structure. Medium depth and the wine really coates the palate and sticks to your teeth. Medium plus finish. Good, just not my style.

Downgrading from 93 as this has become very harsh in the palate and fruit is gone.
