After sitting by the pool and enjoying a bottle of the Koehler Riesling that we picked up yesterday we went to Alma Rosa on our way back to LA. They are finally back in the place on Santa Rosa Road and it was good to be back. The place seemed a little cleaner than it used to be, but I'm sure that'll change! We were poured:
2005 Alma Rosa Pinot Gris, Santa Barbara County
2005 Alma Rosa Pinot Blanc, Santa Rita Hills
2005 Alma Rosa Chardonnay, Santa Barbara County
2005 Alma Rosa Pinot Noir, Santa Rita Hills
2005 Alma Rosa Pinot Noir, La Encantada Vineyard
So good. Everything. Lucky for me I was able to join this wine club. Two bottle of each of their Pinots when they are released each year. Figured since I'm going to be buying them anyway I might as well get a discount! While we were there the guy recommended going to Lafond just down the street before we headed off to LA, so we did just that. We tasted:
2005 Lafond Chardonnay, "SRH"
2005 Lafond Chardonnay, "Lafond Vineyard"
2005 Lafond Pinot Noir, "SRH"
2005 Lafond Pinot Noir, "Lafond Vineyard, Clone 113"
2005 Lafond Pinot Noir, "Lafond Vineyard, Clone 777"
2005 Lafond Syrah, "SRH"
Everything was good. The Pinot Clone 113 was just opened and not showing to well, it came around a little with a good deal of swirling ... would be much better with more time. We bought a bottle of the SRH Syrah cause it was hard to beat for $18.
