Exquisite gold color. Insane nose! Minerals, beeswax, and subtle honey. Same on the palate. Oily, dense texture, which I love. This is right in my wheelhouse! I could swirl this in my mouth all night! — 17 days ago

Hirsch Vineyards

Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2009

Roasted Hazelnuts, Touch oxidative, Night Jasmin, Green Tea. As good as any Grand Cru Burgh. I had some bottle variation because this did not come from my cellar. This bottle was awesome. — 25 days ago

Aubert

UV-SL Vineyard Chardonnay 2022

Decanted for nearly 3 hrs. Initial malo/butter notes blew off. What was left was pretty austere. Not a ton of fruit. Acidity was the most notable element, and the weight. Solid but not mind blowing by any measure — 5 days ago

Napa County Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Deep Ruby color with aromas of berry fruits, oak and floral notes, Zinfandel, Merlot, Syrah, and Petite Sirah added to enhance the Cabernet’s deep colors. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plums with cedar and spice. Firm grippy tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, oak, spice and mineral character! — 7 days ago

Ceritas

Porter-Bass Vineyard Chardonnay 2012

The best California Chardonnay I have consumed. I will say it, grand cru like .
Complexity on every level. Every part of what makes up a wine melded perfectly to create this classic. Fruit and acid like Fred & Ginger. Purchased on release.. While I enjoyed my other bottles several years back this was on a different level. When I tasted this on release I wrote , has everything it needs just needs to sort itself out.

They told me that, but not sure why, as the vineyard is owned by Pheobe Bass’ family. I’m up there in early June and will ask!

Surprise!. Not the biggest fan of their wines (white or red) but they have unexpected aging power.

Frank Family Vineyards

Carneros Chardonnay 2022

Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, toasty vanilla and baking spice scents. On the palate complex flavors of apple, peach & lemon citrus, well balanced with acidity on nice mouthfeel. Long finish ending with toasty mineral and spice notes, will continue to age well. A Great Chardonnay. Pair this with a Halibut drizzled with a Beurre Blanc sauce. — a month ago
