St Laurent in California?

Carneros, to be precise.

Anyway: Jon E Vino St. Laurent Ricci Vineyard. Bright purple in color. Very floral...delicious red and black fruit. Quite lithe-not heavy at all, and a very fine quaffer. My wine of the night at the Back Room Wines walk around tasting.

Interestingly enough, Oakland Crush had an Austrian tasting flight the next day which featured a St Laurent (don't have the name). Much more muscular and savory than the Carneros version. I like St. Laurent quite a bit!

Nice TN, Brian. Not yet had this producer yet...only the ones from MattRorick/Forlorn-Hope. Followed 'em from the
very start, of course.

StLaurent is an interesting grape. It is decscribed as rather Pinotish in character. In the Burgenland, the wines show
less Pinotish fruit & more of an earthy/loamy character. Matt's StLaurent only suggests of that earthy/loamy
character.
I think there is also another planting of StLaurent in Calif.

Tom: The owner of Oakland Crush, a very cool IPOBish wine shop in the produce market district of Oakland, CA, showed me a bottle of the Matthew Rorick wine. I was on my bicycle, so could not carry it home, but I share your liking for his wines!
