2017. Single thread at Trenton roadhouse — 4 years ago
This is Roth Russian River Valley, Trenton Road Vineyard. Delectable can’t get this one right! Awesome Pinot from Bill Foley! Small batch and single vineyard. — 6 years ago
My favorite Chardonnay winery. Had on 1/14/22. 2017vintage. Vine hill. Aroma of baked apple and some pear. Acidic but still has creaminess mixed in. Tart but juicy green apple and a little lemon. Just a hint of toasted nuts. Also some mineral taste. Complex. Loved visiting the Trenton roadhouse tasting room outdoors last Spring. — 3 years ago
Monthly 4th Friday is post Thanksgiving this year, so lots of Thanksgiving style wines!
Skunky and tart on the nose! Butterscotch, unripe pear, truffled mushroom on the nose with herbal funk on the palate. Lots of acidity. Fruit has mainly subsided, but the acidity keeps it interesting. Marcassin-esque in terms of savoriness. — 6 years ago
Stopped by Joseph Swan for a quick tasting flight this afternoon, this wasn’t on the flight but since the 2013 Syrah was so fabulous, picked up a bottle of the 2011 to pair with some great cheese we bought, this shows inky color, mostly black fruits, complexity yet still so very young, medium-long finish, 11 years old going on 3, needs more aging!! — 2 years ago

This smells like a Syrah version of the Swan Estate Pinot in this vintage, big, ripe black fruits, 15% ABV, but not at all hot, great acidity balances this, very fine CA Syrah! — a month ago
