I’ve been wanting to try these wines for a while. Bought the chard duo and may come back for one of the pinot packs! Can’t wait to have my first Boheme experience.
First timer and ordered the 2017 and 2018 horizontal pack along with the 6 pk of west pole. Looking forward to the shipment and tasting all your hard work!
Friend and distinguished club member, Larry! In fact, we might call you the Bohème club founder. I’m touched for your support… and excited for you to be 1st in Occidental with the new vintage.
I’ll connect with you for retrieval at the tasting room–maybe after the storm rolling our way!
Was at the tasting room over the 2020 Thanksgiving weekend and enjoyed the wines immensely. Picked up a few bottles during the visit, and felt the 2017 West Pole was an excellent QPR. How does the 2018 compare to the 2017?
Thanks for your kind remarks and visit to our tasting room, Hoang.
Much as I love the purity and dark fruit tones of the '17 West Pole, I feel the '18 takes a couple steps ahead with mid-palate feel and ripeness which was, in 2018, nearly optimal. Right now the '18 WP shows brighter red fruit characters than the '17 and perhaps also benefits from the 10% new French Burg bbls that made their way to the blend. I hope you have the chance to sample it soon.
