Zepaltas Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2008 – 93 Points

Immediately, this wine’s aromatics jump out of the glass: black cherry, tobacco, and allspice. The Russian River’s palate is structured and taught, but refreshing and bright. A slight grip of tannin gives the wine presence and fills out the finish. The mouth feel is powerful, and dense, and is a great candidate for those roasted fall dishes. This wine definitely has the framework to age at least 3 years, but is very accessible now.
Buy this wine from Porthos.

Twomey Pinot Noir 2006
For the last few years, Silver Oak has been quietly crafting a boutique Pinot Noir sourced from historic vineyards near the original Williams Selyem in the prized Russian River Valley of Sonoma. Today, Porthos is finally able to offer this wine online. This is a big fleshy Pinot with exotic flavors built to age but it will drink beautifully now if decanted for an hour.
Apart from their acclaimed Merlot, Twomey’s wines are generally only available via their mailing list or at the winery’s tasting rooms in Napa and Sonoma.
