Dairyman Vineyard sits in the southern alluvial plains of the Russian River Valley near the ocean, a region where cooling fog comes in through the Petaluma Gap in the morning and once again in the evening. Medium Ruby color, with aromas of berries, tea and spices. On the palate flavors of raspberry and tart black cherry with herb, cedar and cinnamon. Fine tannins, medium+ finish with lively acidity, good structure, ending with fruit and cedar spice. — 6 months ago

Pop and Pour. Le dernier verre était le meilleur, le côté végétal, davantage présent au début, s'était assagi. Grande finesse. Beaucoup de plaisir avec cette bouteille. C'est toujours spécial quand on débouche un Rougeard. Il y a certainement un effet psychologique là-dedans ! — 6 years ago

Nice regal gold hue. Amazing pit fruit and wet stone nose. Plus notes of apricot, white clay soil, salty ocean breeze and some Raveneau honey on the finish. Rich and powerful in the mouth. Coats the palate with lots of fruit and fine grained acidity. I’ve had this a few times and this was at its best. Great Raveneau at age 30 is an amazing treat. — 6 years ago

String tropical fruit notes tempered by age and acidic backbone enough to go well with fish (Fung) and our mixed leftovers! — 8 months ago

Atlantic Ocean, lite...Notes tomorrow?

192H Update:
Nose has fully saturated oak plank, moist almonds, incredible sweet & saline notes, fermenting green apples, white chocolate bar, white candle wax and fresh yellow apple slice. Palate has almond broth (does that exist?), dried yellow apple, chamomile tea, moist bread, faint green olive (?) with mild saline finish, faint acidity. Damn I do not drink enough Manzanilla! — 4 years ago

My son’s English cocker dog named “Pinot” loved it too (no worries bottle was empty). Easy to recognize with that very Cotat signature, nose of mint, spices, pears, white flowers, nutmeg. Palate is nice, expressive, round and rich, acidity is backward, there is a sweetness to it as always but a bit too much for my taste, will wait my other 2012 a few years. 90-91

Facile à reconnaître au nez qui a des arômes épicées, poires, fleurs blanches, noix muscade, menthe. La bouche est ronde et assez “ sucreuse “, acidité plus en retrait, c’eat riche et gras, assez long. C’est bon et différent mais un petit côté un peu trop sucré à mon gout et je vais attendre encore plus mes autres 2012. 90-91 — 6 years ago

Cheapie screw top liter from the dusty place around the corner and … ok! Warm blood standard shet. I can imagine it would go well with harder sharper cheeses actually. I can taste some raisiny tannin. Not bad! 13.99, 70% Syrah, 30% Grenache. Wish I had a mahkluba. — 5 months ago

Decant your white burgs! This improved so much with air. There’s such power and verve with incredible depth and seamlessness of its layered Chablisen minerality, with buttercream, roasted hazelnuts and an ocean spray-like salinity. It’s texturally captivating, wrapping around the palate with killer density without weight. Racy acids balance its richness and secondary nuttiness and it finishes forever. Excellent. — 8 months ago

Nose shows greenness/stems, smoke, strawberries. Lightly crunchy, medium+ acid; some ocean spray cranberry juice here. Texture is where this shines with a rich creaminess that ends with medium+ acid. Great food wine. — 4 years ago

The nose is wonderful in my view. Of course the wood is there but there is a lot of brown sugar in it fit me. It reads hot on the palate, viscous with a long finish. Not a full mouthfeel but you still want more. — 6 years ago

Besides its acidity, this Sardinian wine is an especially good pair with seafood because it carries the smell of the ocean. Salinity bursts forth with citrus in tow, both on the nose and the palate. It’s a savory wine with loads of character, and it’s a Vermentino from Sardegna. That’s really all you need to know.
