I’m starting to get to my 2013’s and 2014’s. These two Robert Sinskey Vineyards wines seemed like a good twosome for dinner. A 2013 Cabernet Franc and a 2014 Carneros Pinot Noir. Both stored in the same wine fridge side by side. I was wondering if I’d let the Pinot go too long but it was lively and fresh and balanced and I would have guessed it to be a ‘16 or ‘17. Classic Carneros aroma and flavor. A reminder how much I like the Sinskey Pinots. The Cab Franc was also nice and true to the variety had some pronounced vegetal aromas - “green pepper” I would say. This wine had a slight hint of oxidation I thought but still enjoyable. The Pinot was #wotn though. ————————————————————— #wine #sinskey #robertsinskeyvineyards #robertsinskey #napavalley #napa #napavalleywine #napawine #stagsleap #stagsleapdistrict #stagsleapava #pinotnoir #cabernetfranc #redwine #winegeeks #winegeek #visitnapavalley #winelover #winetasting #winecountry #winecountryliving (at Mare Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMsEDNpLYnz/?igshid=j1k0idzzlso8

Cracked open a bottle of 2014 Robert Sinskey Vineyards Abraxas to pair with salmon fresh from the smoker. This wine is really coming into its own and I wish I had more 2014 to taste in another few years. Has lost no flavor or texture. Very aromatic and beautiful oily texture. 43% Riesling, 29% Pinot Blanc, 17% Pinot Gris, and 11% Gewürztraminer. ——————————————————— #robertsinskeyvineyards #robertsinskey #sinskey #abraxaswine #whitewine #wine #winecountry #wineandfood #wineandfoodpairing https://www.instagram.com/p/B-NH_jHJlSl/?igshid=1fwj0w3harbew

I had a taste of 1994 Pinot Noir from Robert Sinskey Vineyards recently at a pick-up party - magnum sized. It was sublime! So I bought a bottle and opened it for the holiday season and ...meh. For a 25-year old wine, it was not overly oxidized and the color was still vibrant. There was plenty of fruit left ...but it didn’t come across as a Carneros Pinot. Either on the nose or the palate. I couldn’t have called this Pinot in a blind tasting and even knowing what it was, I struggled to find Pinot. It tasted like a generic red wine. I’m wondering whether I should have decanted longer? Or if I did something incorrect. I still love Sinskey and we’ll be opening a 1986 Merlot in New Year’s so I’m hoping for a better experience. —————————————————- #sinskey #sinskeyvineyards #robertsinskeyvineyards #robertsinskey #carnerosava #loscarneros #carneroswine #carneroswinealliance #napavalley #napa #napavalleywine #winetime #wineo #wineoclock #winecountryliving #winecountry https://www.instagram.com/p/B6lYLZSHDBt/?igshid=1s6jj8xogoxpf

What happens when your husband gets off of his leash? Our friend invited us to the monthly pickup party at Robert Sinskey Vineyards on Silverado Trail in Napa Valley. We have been members there in the past and we love their wine. But at some point John got loose and the next thing I knew he’s bought a magnum of 1993 Pinot and an ‘86 Merlot (the first Sinskey Merlot vintage he tells me!). I guess we’ll have some great older wines this holiday! ——————————————————- #sinskey #robertsinskeyvineyards #robertsinskey #stagsleapava #napavalley #napa #napavalleywine #winecountry #winecountryliving #winetasting (at Robert Sinskey Vineyards) https://www.instagram.com/p/B50jTGXH-0Y/?igshid=1tnt78pifuz1x

Oh dang, baby’s first #robertsinskey Vin Gris! This is definitely worth the hype, and is what I’ll be drinking during our @pairingpodcast livestream for Advanced and Master Patrons tonight while we talk about the ineffable concept of Terroir! #rose #wineeducation #vingris #carneros https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz9QMKep4Qu/?igshid=937v3eziiqy5

Tasting some great juice today. Getting my ideas together for a possible dinner with Robert Sinskey Vineyards... #napavalley #wine #robertsinskey #robertsinskeyvineyards #itjustmighthappen #youdontwanttomissthis @the404kitchen @rsvnapa (at The 404 Kitchen)

Fridays lunch sponsored by Robert Sinskey’s “Orgia”! Skin-contact Pinot Gris that spends 2 weeks on the skins resulting in a vibrant onion-skin shade. Aromas/Flavors: spiced orange peel, vanilla bean, dried ginger, nectarine skin and a touch of copper penny. Smells like summer! #robertsinskey #robertsinskeyvineyards #salesreplife #pinotgris #skincontactwine #californiawine #organicwine #wine #vino #vin #winelovers #winetasting #wineoclock #winelife #winenight #wines #wineo #wineporn #winenot #winestagram #sommelier (at New York, New York)
