Tasting Notes:
A sweet, cherry, syrupy wine. I had it with some chocolate after dinner. A bit too sweet for my tastes, but my wife loved it.

Cherry Pie 2021 Pinot Noir, Toro Hills
Vintage:

$55.00USD
Any vineyard facing San Pablo Bay, like Toro Hills, is buffeted by wind and fog coming off the water. Typically fruit grown here is more fully developed. This Toro Hills Pinot has that depth of flavor, less bright strawberry notes and more raspberry, huckleberry, blueberry and blackberry with soft black cherry, spring wildflowers, and a slight earthiness. The acidity is spot on allowing for expressiveness with food while the mild barrel aging (10 months in barrel with just 30% new French oak) allows for a balanced approach and fruit over wood. ORIGIN: Sonoma County. ALCOHOL: 14.9%

This is 100% Chenin Blanc fermented and aged in wood barrels. Golden in color, clear and bright. The nose shows some citrus and spice. A nice oily texture. On the palate, lemons. Crisp. Nice finish. A very nice wine that is drinking well. The oak is not obtrusive and seems to add a bit of weight/texture to the wine. It is lovely on its own and should work well with many foods. It would be a nice pairing with scallops. Drink over the next seven to ten years.

This is 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvedre from very old vines. Purple in color, opaque and bright. The boisterous nose has black raspberries, plums and black cherries with spices and roasted herbs. Full bodied. Great texture. On the palate, this is young and raucous with big fruits; black raspberries, raspberries and black cherries along with char and spice. Energetic acidity. Long finish. Delicious on its own, this needs bigger foods right now but will settle down soon. For now, it would work well with some spicy Indian cuisine. Drink over the next twelve to fifteen years.

This is a blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, ad 10% Syrah. Purple in color with ruby hues, mostly opaque and bright. The nose has black raspberries, black pepper, black cherries and garrique. Full bodied. Great plush texture. Excellent balance. Very concentrated. On the palate, this is delicious. It has shed some youth for maturity but should continue to develop. Black raspberries, plums and black cherries with some char. Long finish. Delicious on its own, this worked very well with Sheppard's Pie. Drink over the next ten to fifteen years.
