9.3

Elegant with silky texture and smooth backdropped tannins. Pinot Noir in the New World fashion yet proposed with power, expressing raspberry and cranberry notes alongside spiced hints of clove and cedar tree. Oak treatment is not overbearing and compliments the varietal well — 7 years ago

Clean and slightly sweet Prosecco from the coveted Conegliano DOCG in the Veneto. Overall, quite nice and incredibly floral with an overlay of honeysuckle and stark pear fruit that leads into a very honeyed finish — 7 years ago

9.3

Excellent Riesling! Crisp slate character with that expected mineral spritz, alongside glossy stone fruit of white peach and nectarines. There is a slight petrol note but not overbearing. Light in body and crisply acidic, a fantastic food wine. — 7 years ago

7.5

Black as night on the color with edges of purple, a cloyingly rich and texturally saturated behemoth. Has the weight and semblance to cough syrup, with notes of hardy vanillin and dark rich ubiquitous fruit. The jammed nature of this wine shows with the Zinfandel but the Syrah, Cabernet Sauv., and Merlot go unfound. Oak treatment is severe on this one, and would almost call this a 'table/dessert wine', as it contains some residual sugar. Avoid pairing with food — 7 years ago

Domaine de la Chézatte

Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2017

9.2

An excellent stylistically correct Sancerre that exhibits fine tones of grass, lemon curd, minerality with an overlay of nice tropical fruit. Typical French Sauvignon Blanc with all the characteristics of its origin. Quite nice — 7 years ago

7.5

Inky on the color, the nose with this wine is quite enticing and makes it eager to drink with notes of plums, herbs and mocha. Only the plums mirror on the palate. Overall, fruity and edgy on the tannic finish — 7 years ago

7.9

Simple and somewhat secure, displays a vivacious red raspberry character with side tones of vanillin from decent oak treatment. Primarily Merlot, blended with Cabernet Sauv., Pinot Noir, and Petit Verdot, Cabernet provides a very blink and you miss it tobacco and dark currant note, while the Pinot provides some racy yet quite edgy acidity and the Verdot some structure reinforcement — 7 years ago
