2017 The Winery SF North Coast Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., $30.

ak-spiced aromas of black cherry and ripe
strawberry lead to an elegantly composed mid-weight, black cherry-driven wine. Instantly gratifying with hidden
tannins and a compliment of oak in the background. Best vintage to date from this producer.

2016 The Winery SF North Coast Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., 300 cases, $29.99. Winemaker Bryan Kane.
·
Moderate garnet color in the glass. Shy aromas of dark red fruits and nutty oak. Discretely concentrated black
cherry and blueberry flavors with moderately firm tannins, a hint of oak and a sweet-fruited finish. The oak rises
up over time and quite noticeable when the wine was tasted the following day from a previously opened and recorked
bottle.
Score: 88.

2016 The Winery SF Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
14.2% alc., 100 cases, $40.

Moderate garnet
color in the glass. Aromas of earth-kissed black cherry and walnut lead to a mid weight plus
styled wine driven by black cherry and blackberry fruit flavors. The fruit is well-ripened but not
overripe. Creamy in texture, with a sweet-fruited finish of good generosity and length. Even more
appealing when tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle.

Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. Strange nose profile
featuring aromas of potpourri, baking spices, clay, greenery, smoke, cigar and toast. Mid weight core of purple

Moderately dark garnet color in the
glass. Aromas of blackberry preserves, nutty and charred oak and vegetation. Mid weight plus array of purple
berry fruit flavors framed by integrated tannins and tart acidity. Very similar to the North Coast bottling but with
more mid palate presence and finishing length, but with the same sweet and sour ending.

14.1% alc., 1,700 cases, $29.99.

Moderately light reddish
purple color in the glass. The nose offers scents of blueberry, blackberry, plum and leaf. The discreetly
concentrated black raspberry and blackberry fruits are overlaid with noticeable oak and backed by weighty
tannins which surface on the finish. A little better integrated and enjoyable the following day from a previously
opened and re-corked bottle.

Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass. Very
shy berry mix on the nose which fails to open much even when tasted the following day. Tasty mid weight flavors of black cherry,
black raspberry and cedary oak with a riff of savory herbs in the background. Nicely composed with balanced
tannins and some finishing intensity.

14.1% alc., $30. From a San Francisco urban
winery located on San Francisco’s historic Treasure island.
·
Moderate reddish purple color in the
glass. Bright aromas of cherry, strawberry, rose petal and briar initially, fading somewhat over time
in the glass. A cherry jubilee with hints of black raspberry, spice, and savory herbs. The texture is
satiny, the wine is open and giving, the tannins are soft, and the clinging finish satisfies.
