Wine Reviews
Papapietro Perry 777 Clones Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2019
Brilliant, medium ruby color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of raspberry, forest floor, and violet with supporting notes of dried herbs, black currant, oak, and wet stones. The palate echoes the nose delivering a red and black fruits-driven core with flavors of black cherry, cranberry, slate, and sour cherry. The finish is long and lingering with ripe but pronounced black tea tannins. Medium to full-bodied and perfectly balanced with an opulent texture. $80 – 4.5 Stars/95 points
Papapietro Perry Leras Family Vineyards Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2019
Brilliant, medium ruby color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of red cherry and raspberry with supporting notes of oak, wild strawberry, and baking spices. The palate confirms the nose delivering a red and black fruits-driven core with flavors of black cherry, hibiscus flower tea, braised rhubarb, and slate. The finish is long and lingering with ripe tannins. Medium to full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a silky texture. $64 – 4 Stars/92 points
Spirits Reviews
CALI Distillery Three Rivers Rye Whiskey
Brilliant, deep copper to amber color. The nose is generous revealing classic scents of an American Rye as it offers complex notes of roasted nuts, brown baking spices, oak, and dark chocolate. The palate echoes the nose delivering a lush, caramel and chocolate-forward rye core flanked by toasted oak with lush accents of red fruits, clove, allspice, vanilla bean, black pepper, and candied ginger. Full-bodied with great length and ideal balance as the silky fruit is foiled by expressive spice notes. $50 – 4.5 Stars
