In love with left bank burgundy and French whites. Eager to learn more about wines from other areas and always looking for good suggestions.

Saggi Columbia Valley Sangiovese Blend 2015

Kimberly Anderson

9.0

Dark as night in color. Lovely scents of violet, lavender, and dark chocolate. Cherries, anise and espresso. Would love for this wine to have a bit more weight to it. High ABV at 14.9 — a day ago

Château Lassègue

Saint Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

Kimberly Anderson

9.1

Damp forest floor and mushrooms on open. A 30 minute decant helped this wine blossom into tart cherry, old leather and a bit of cigar box. Med tannins. Dark chocolate and spice hold thru the velvety finish. Still evolving and great value on an extensive list — 9 days ago

This white Bordeaux

M. Christopher Roebuck

Not bad. But I blackened it on the grill... So it needed more backbone... Maybe even a red.

This bottle wouldn’t have cut it @M. Christopher Roebuck . seems like a lighter red with some acidity would have been better.

Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2017

Kimberly Anderson

9.1

Aromas of buttered popcorn that blew off to butter, citrus and white flowers. Viscous wine that coats the mouth, but not in an unpleasant way. Bright key lime and other citrus with fresh mineral crispness. Definitely some oak influence, but not the primary like with a chard — 4 days ago

@Mike R not usually into CA SB, but this was really nice! It’s like NZ SB and Puligny Montrachet had a baby😎
