Here is hoping that you had a safe and happy valentines day. It is never a very busy day for retail because everyone is eating out. Lots of deuces from what I remember.
Tasted through some nice wines with Craig and Rich from Pinnacle. The Siduri wines from Adam Lee and a few Loring Pinots.
Siduri Chehalem Mountain 2006 a new bottling for them, and they really didnt need more, but probably my favorite of the bunch. Chehalem Mountain is a new sub appellation for Willamette Valley. Earthy, mushroomy nose with a touch of mocha, good acidity, light body and color but lots of intensity. what i love about pinot is you think its going to be wimpy and it blows your socks off.
Sonoma Coast 06 Light colored, soft, missing something in the middle palate. Very disappointed in body and texture. Not much going on here
Santa Lucia 2006 a little rustyaround the edge, coffe and mocha on the nose that carries through. Nice bottling.
Loring Durrell vineyard Sonoma o6 Dark color from cold soaking, maceration time?? soft flavors, a little spice but not overly energetic.
Loring Garys Vineyard Santa Lucia 2006 Pretty ruby color, cranberry tartness very nice body and finish.
Loring Shaw Mountain Vineyard 06 Lovely nose of violet and earth, with an equally lovely finish. I liked it a lot but my notes seem fuzzy on this one.
