This past weekend, I went whitewater rafting on the American River with my sons and their Boy Scout Troop. Christopher and Patrick and I did the South Fork (class III+) on Saturday. We spent Saturday night at Camp Lotus. Sunday, Chris and I returned home, and Patrick stayed on another day to run the Middle Fork (class IV) on Monday.
Tomorrow at 11am, Linda Murphy, a writer with Decanter magazine, will be stopping by here at the ranch for a tour. It will be one stop on a day-long trip acquainting her with the vines and wines of the Petaluma Gap. I'll give her a couple of bottles of wine to enjoy at her leisure, and hope that she enjoys them enough to write a good review!
My good friend, Jay Blasewitz, contacted me from Los Angeles late last week to inform me of a review of the 2006 Clary Ranch Pinot Noir, hot off the presses:
"A ripe, pure and elegant nose that is very pinot with intense red berry aromas that carry hints of underbrush and earth over to the rich and equally pure middle weight flavors that possess fine transparency, detail and lovely balance on the cranberry-suffused finish that also displays an attractive vibrancy. This is at once delicious and serious and as noted, the balance is impeccable. If you enjoy classically styled pinot that carries almost no youthful austerity, this would be a fine choice. 90/2012+" - Burghound.
Yowza! I think I'll use that!
