Boulder Bluff Pinot Noir 2019

9.1

Reddish/ purplish in color with light intensity.

Soft on the nose and medium in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing red currants, cherries, earth, black coffee, light oak, spices, herbs and black tea.

Medium plus on the finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very tasty Pinot Noir from Oregon. Elegant and nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.

This Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is complex, spicy and entertaining.

Wine Enthusiasts 92 points. Wine Spectator 88 points.

Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years. A little longer for this Magnum.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

100% Pinot Noir grapes were grown on volcanic soils from 25 year old vines. Drunk from a Magnum.

13% alcohol by volume.

Fruit forward, very smooth, low tannins with moderate acidity. Red fruit in the palate with maraschino cherries and red currants. Went well with an early spring al fresco dinner on a river bluff. — 4 years ago

Kite Tail Carneros Chardonnay 2017

Patrick Derdeyn

9.1

Kite Tail is from the bluff top on the estate where the soils are well drained and the winds are high. Slowly harvested over 3 weeks and then fermented to full malolactic. It then spends 16 months in 50% new french oak. Definitely a bit on the richer side of the spectrum, but the freshness of the fruit and the cutting acidity make it a high quality example of cool weather cali chard. — 7 years ago

8.9

Surprisingly robust and fresh for a 2017. Aromas of baking spices, strawberries, hint of vanilla and subtle notes of oak. Flavours of strawberry, vanilla and spiced fruit cake with soft tannins and a vibrant acidity. Paired with roasted chicken thighs in a balsamic cherry sauce. — 9 months ago

9.5

A hearty and rich Forts, could bluff its way to a 1st growth blind. Consensus was this needed more time but decanting a few hours brought out sweet layers of cedar and dark red berry. Monster nose. — 4 years ago
