682 Fullerton Pinot Noir, Momtazi Vineyard 2017
This elegant and refined wine has hints of sour cherry and raspberry melded
with cumin, garam masala, and caramelized sandalwood. The palate is soft, yet
darker than the nose with black cherry, plum, black raspberry, and earth weav-
ing secondary undertones of bay leaf and aromatic spices.

683 La Sirena Malbec 2013
This wine is 100% Malbec from a single vineyard site in Knights Valley. It is very
dark blackberry jam in color. The aromas are driven by ripe deep black fruit
characteristics, berries, plums, black cherry, pomegranate and a hint of root
beer and spice. There are sweet, toasty, French oak notes in the nose as well.
The fruit has a lifted note from this variety and a long lingering finish.

684 2012 Pinots: Kosta Browne Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir and Williams
Selyem Pinot Noir
The 2012 Kosta Browne Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir exhibits dark black and blue
fruits that drive down the center of the palate and slowly melt into all areas of
the mouth. There is focused acidity and a tannic grip that carries the rich dark
fruit character towards the mid-palate, followed by creamy black cherry, dark
plum and dried currants.
Robert Parker - 93 points
This hard to find Williams Selyem Pinot Noir is dry, delicate, modest in alcohol,
tart and complex. Waves of raspberries and cherries, mushrooms, red currants,
Dr. Pepper cola and exotic spices wash across the palate, delicious and flashy.
It's ready to drink now.
