Gainey ‘04 Pinot Noir, Santa Rita Hills
This poor girl had the misfortune of being opened on the same night that we opened the Kosta Browne 03 SC and the Macphail 03 RR Pinots. She’s Ms. California in a lineup with Ms Universe and Ms America.
She smells like a winner for sure, she’s a little tight but she loosens up with air, but she drinks like a California Syrah: kind of hot and sexy and looks good on your arm at a black tie affair, though not as refined as the woman you’d choose to marry and sire niños with. This is Backdoor Betty right here: while the old man’s leavin’ by the front door, she’ll be coming in the backdoor.
She’s pretty fruity and fresh, a bit in-your-face, kinda hot and bothered. Really interesting, great in the sack, but not really who she says she is. She’s got an extra surprise down there that she’s been keeping tucked away in reserve. You go down on a Pinot and come away with your face glazed with Syrah. It’s a good Syrah though, and she says Thank you, so it’s definitely worth the trip downstairs. On any normal night, this would be a giant score, so I’m gonna give this little hussy 150 points, then deduct 60 for bad luck and another 2 for the warts I got on my tongue a week later.
