See the write ups for these wines below and the full article HERE
Domaine Chanson Pinot Noir Le Bourgogne 2018
“Dark ruby color with purple nuances. Intense aromas of ripe black currant mixed with spices and licorice. Crunchy and generous. Complex and deep texture. Well-crafted tannins. Long and fruity aftertaste. Super “everyday” Burgundy, ideal with braised and roasted meats, as well as meat-sauced pasta.”
Chateau Montelena Zinfandel 2015
“The energetic nature of the palate perfectly reflects the complexity of the growing season as bright acid contrasts black pepper, which yields plenty of ripe raspberries and cherry candy. This, in turn, transitions to fresh mint and abundant spicy cloves.”
Gary Farrell Russian River Selection Pinot Noir 2017
“This elegant Pinot Noir opens with alluring aromas of Bing cherry, pomegranate, boysenberry syrup and preserved raspberries. Flavors of Cremini mushrooms and cherry cola with hints of white pepper and clove unfold on the palate. The supple tannins develop into a soft, silky finish complimented with abundant acidity on the finish.”
