Cherry compote, cola,
cigar box, vanilla and buttered toast. Not the most complex example of Goldridge I’ve seen, but the fruit intensity and depth on mid palate are admirable. More structure and acidity would be my preference, but lush and ripe red fruits are the hallmark of this cuvée and I suppose some things should remain as they are. Oak and ripeness are generally above my threshold. But this does remain a RRV classic.

Red cherry and field herbs on the nose;
Tart cherries and red currants on the palate with a little tiny bit of savory herbs.

Opened another outstanding 2012 Pinot from California. Deep red color with aromas of red fruits and a touch of woodsy spice. The palate brings forth cherry and tart raspberry, leather, oak and soft tannins. The wine was well balanced with a lingering finish that improved to the end of the bottle. I have a few more bottles I am waiting on for a few more years. Small production, 1500 cases so don’t hesitate if you see a bottle.

Harmonious and complex. Delicate notes of vanilla, black tea and cherry linger for days.
