Exploring the rabbit hole of wine means you never truly know where you are going. Going from point A might take you to point B, or possibly point R and back to point D. It’s far from a linear journey, and I have to admit my life tends to be linear. Having a factor of unpredictability is welcome. I would have never known anything about Lonesome Rock if I hadn’t had a bottle of Lonesome Rock Sparkling from Corollary. It was this bottle that brought me to adore the story behind Lonesome with Daniel and Susan. It’s the ultimate wine love story. With decades already written and who knows how many more to unfold. I could go on and on about Lonesome Rock’s backstory, but I’m here to tell you about the wine, and it’s up to you to visit Lonesome Rock for the whole story while looking out over an incredible vineyard. The 2022 Rows of Sharon Pinot Noir is something special. Daniel handed me a bottle of their Estate Pinot Noir, promising I wouldn’t open it for 10 years. I have seven years to go, and I can’t wait. I have another bottle of Rows of Sharon that I’ll hold onto for at least another 10 years because I opened this one way too early, but don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed it. There’s a unique profile to this wine I haven’t experienced elsewhere in the valley. Tasting it blind, you’d definitely think it was an old-world wine. Normally, there’s a bright cherry fruit or dark blackberry component, but this blows both of those out of the water, leaning beautifully toward the darker fruit side of the spectrum. 👇 👇 👇 👇 Would you like to get a Saturday morning email once a month to read with your coffee giving you an insider perspective on a winery?
