Dinner at Barbara and Lance's in Princeton (with Brenda, Jen and Tash plus kids and a dog) (Princeton, NJ) : Lovely red fruit, flowers, vanilla, perfume and a touch of spice on the finish. We had it with the Indian food from Cross Culture (not original but a good pairing!). I especially liked it with the tandoori salmon and the samosas. This was the last NJ bottle but Sue has some in Virginia, I think. Drink now but could hold …

See previous notes....a little more nuanced (secondary flavor profiles beginning to emerge) than the previous bottle but basically everything was the same. The one quick note is the color is beginning to change at the edges. Highly recommended but I think I would drink soon. Two more left that I hope to complete by years end.

Sue, Leanne and Erich had this in Virginia and loved it. (They searched for where to get more). We got this on close-out for $12 / bottle. Great qpr for that.

A lovely showing for this wine. Vibrant red fruits, flowers, vanilla and perfume. Delicious with the grilled salmon and also with the homemade pizza. (At Donna's pre-fireworks at Princeton reunions). Great QPR for $16.70 / bottle delivered. Drink now / soon.

Very tasty with the Indian food (Cross-culture), especially the tandoori salmon. Lovely red fruit notes and decent complexity on the finish. So much more fresh (less musty) than the bottles from JJ Buckley. Great QPR at $16.70 / bottle. Drink now.

A nice medium - darker ruby colored Pinot. Nice nose with spice box, smoke, and black tea prevalent at least to me. This has changed since the purchase when I had a lot more pepper seemingly prevalent. On the palate, a nice smoky pinot with black cherry and a mild tannin structure. As usual, another great Landmark Pinot. They never seem to disappoint. If you have them in significant numbers I would drink them soon. I have three more I …

Red fruit, flowers, lovely perfume and some vanilla. We had this with chicken with Persian rice and it drank much better with the food (and as the 1st wine of the night), than it had before. Still not as good as the 2010 vintage but a nice wine. We then saw this for $12 on close-out and bought a case of it! Great QPR for that price. Drink now / soon.

Red fruit, flowers, perfume and some vanillia. I thought it was similar (but not as good) as the 2010 vintage. Jen didn't like it as well, however. With the mac 'n cheese got lots of vanillia. I used the Coravin so we can try the other half of the bottle later, with more food.

Nose of dried cherries, leather, and a sprig old spearmint. Lots of alcohol burn on the palate during the first, undue canted sip. Tannins are moderate.

This is just a gorgeous pinot in my eyes (and taste pallet!). Somewhat smokey color. Great balance and light tannins. Everything I love a Sonoma pinot to be. Just ordered 3 more bottles. Drinking perfectly now.

By the glass at Sansei Waikiki. On the darker end of the Pinot color spectrum. Smoky dark cherry spicy aromas. Light(-) with slightly grippy cherry skin tannins. Nicely ripe cherry flavours with spice and cola note slightly smoky on the lingering pleasantly bitter finished. Bigger but balanced with nice complexity.

And now with 100% Pinot Noir! The last few bottles of various Sonoma Coast PN have had me guessing what percentage of Syrah was inside. This is medium to full but still comes off as PN with cola, cherry, and spices. Plenty of life left in this.

Consistent with prior tasting notes, with a little earthiness this time. Really nice. Score [50 + 4 + 12 + 18 + 7 ] = 91.

A dense pinot noir that delivers incredible berry jam flavors with a hint of cola and a silky smooth mouthfeel and finish. Amending score to 91 for color and age potential - still very good. Score [50 + 4 + 12 + 18 + 7 ] = 91.

Thick, dark cherry flesh from near the pit. Very weighty for PN. A bit brooding, yet subtle underbrush and brown spices nuances.

This wine is peaking. Floral, burgundian smooth.
