Wine Reviews: Weekly Mini Round-Up For January 23, 20201 min read

Posted on January 20, 2020January 26, 2020 by 1WineDude

in wine mini-reviews

I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical term for more than most people). So each week, I share some of my wine reviews (mostly from samples) and tasting notes in a “mini-review” format.
 
They are meant to be quirky, fun, and (mostly) easily-digestible reviews of (mostly) currently available wines (click here for the skinny on how to read them), and are presented links to help you find them, so that you can try them out for yourself. Cheers!

  • 2017 Dutton-Goldfield Freestone Hill Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley): A veritable funhouse ride that’s long, dark, and full of the unexpected; buckle up! $72 A-

  • 2016 Anaba Bismark Vineyard Syrah (Moon Mountain District): What’s an oaky indiscretion or two when that white pepper is soooooooo good? $48 A-
