The Black Isle, Highlands

Belle Glos

Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019

Big ol’ Pinot… if by name only

Heavy body….. deep ruby color.
Musty, earthy nose
Powerful Friit - maybe black cherry
A touch earth / bitter lingers. A touch of oak.
Zin / Cab vibes
Nice glass of wine…

I think Hahn's "special" productions deserve some love.

The Dalmore

18 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Very good, but I think the 18 has lost balance with too much oak influence — a month ago

Román Estate Grown Zinfandel Blend 2011

Clear, medium ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of black plum, blackberries, and leather; on the palate, it's dry with medium acidity, medium tannins, high alcohol, full body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of strawberries, blackberry jam, and crushed gravel with a long finish. This wine is balanced (the alcohol is well integrated. I did not taste how high it is), intense, and complex. Overall, I rate this wine as outstanding. Nellie likes it, too. — 7 months ago
