All slow-o in bottle for 3 hours.
2011 Dusky Goose Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills Oregon)
Tried this for the first time about year ago. It was very good then and is even better now. Delicious right out of the gate. Lightest in color of the 3 pinots. Lovely elegant red cherry and mellow spice with deft minerality, imparted by the volcanic Jory terroir. The most Burgundian of the 3 pinots and the most popular of the 3. I like this wine very much.
2011 Big Basin Pinot Noir Coastview Vineyard (Monterey California)
Wow! Red raspberry, savory sous bois and a nice pop of spice. Very intriguing nose. Well balanced. Needs lots of air and it captures your attention.
2006 Martinelli Pinot Noir Lolita Vineyard (Sonoma California )
Huge. Needs lots and lots of air. Massive compared to the Dusky Goose. Big red raspberry flavor with signature streak of anise. Very alluring on its own, but definitely not as elegant as the others.
2013 Famille Perrin Cotes-du-Rhone Villages
An incredible value at less than $15 a btl. Love the nose! Beautifully lilting florals. Nimble blackberry palate with garrigue accent. The quality of the fruit is impressive. Very popular at dinner.
