Trout Lily Ranch

Adam's Vineyard Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir 2018

9.2

My last bottle of this. It’s really good in a fuller style Oregon Pinot. Complex nose has gravelly loam, sandalwood notes, sappy cherry ooze, crushed rock, a little autumn baking spice. Full and broad in the mouth, but the flavors exhibit a nice balance of fruit, mineral, and underbrush notes. Medium acids, and a little very fine-grained tannin makes an appearance in the back half of the finish. Very nice — 13 days ago

This was a solid Pinot from Santa Cruz from a producer I was not familiar with. Very well done, I need to try more of their offerings. — 7 months ago

Impresses for its minerality, spice and freshness.
Lovely!

Accompanied by a beautiful dish of salmon trout, celeriac and pumpkin. — 2 years ago

2022. Picked to pair with the trout with saffron nage, and it was fantastic. Loved the wine as it opened up but it was gone too quickly. — a month ago

This how really smoothed out with age and I really like it now. The acidity before I think was over powering. Delightful. — 7 months ago

@Norman Gennaro Very happy age brought you a positive experience. Up to now it has been my experience that Ceritas whites need time. The foundation for really good wines are there they just have to come together. I am hoping it was my note that motivated you to revisit their whites.

@Norman Gennaro If you have other bottles try to put 1 or 2 down for 10 + years.

Norman Gennaro

@Ira Schwartz you were right! I have a habit of losing wines in my storage so 10+ can easily happen ;)
