vintage 2021 | Pinot noir smell with strawberry, vanilla and deepness. Well balanced, beautiful Burgundy. — a month ago

9.1

Actually a robust wine prominently showing that 2003 heat I’d come across every so often. Makes it interesting mixed into the more classical Burg profile, perhaps not silkily balanced but still thought provoking and a good one with Evan’s over salted soyu chicken — 5 months ago

A fantastic bottle of Chablis-adjacent, just great a year since our last bottle. Please see prior notes on the vintage. (Dehydrated apple notes are more prominent tonight.)

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our guest conductor Karina Canellakis is leading WAGNER (Prelude to Lohengrin, Act 1), CHOPIN (Piano Concerto No. 2 in F minor, Opus 21) with one of our local treasures, Emanuel (Manny!) Ax on piano and then RACHMANINOFF (Symphonic Dances, Opus 45). A fantastic night is ahead of us! — 4 years ago

This Zin blend is very nice. The Zinfandel is sublime and the Syrah is soft. There is also a smattering of Petite Sirah in the mix. Such a silky mouthfeel, opulent fruit, vanilla, a bit of spice and chocolate. Round tannins and a very smooth finish. Orin Swift bottles weigh a ton! Really liked this wine.

A pair of vintage matched Burg. This one just on the cusp, yellow golden color, hints of oxidative notes into a mellow rounded palate — 4 months ago

Perhaps first taste? Interesting notes of black berries and spice though more in the background. Nicely balanced on palate. Look forward to trying 1cru. — 3 years ago
