Woodenhead

This was a new stop and I was disappointed to learn that they don’t actually SELL the futures that they were tasting from the barrel. While the tasting room location was very nice, there were too many smells going on…body odor from patrons, paint, dog, etc.

2010 Zinfandel Guido Venturi Vineyard Mendocino County

Beautiful nose! Robust red currant, vanilla, all-spice, with an integrated lay of rose. Light-bodied but well integrated spices on the palate. The fruit is on its way…

2010 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

Bright spiciness on the nose. Baked cherry pie, mildly. More spice than cherry but still a pie-like quality.
