9.4

Easily a top 5 2020 rosé that I’ve had so far, a list that includes at least 50 French rosés. Bright fruit on the nose, with a dry, plus palate full of fruit and acidity and just a touch of tannin from the skin contact. — 2 months ago

A perfect zin at a perfect age. This 17.3 beauty drinks like 14.5 at most and is elegant as can be. Soft red fruits, with gentile acidity and velvety soft tannins. Just lovely! — 5 months ago

A New Year’s Day beauty of a wine. Rich and rounded with subtitle notions of oak surrounded by white peach, citrus and stone. Getting old but still delicious! — 6 months ago

A gorgeous estate Pinot Gris from Hugel. Dry and lush on the palate with just a kiss of RS on the back end. The finish shows touches of spice and stone that linger for a minute or longer. Beautiful with lots of life ahead of it. — 3 months ago

9.1

Beautiful aromas of soft sour cherries, earth, graphite and lilac. Young and bright on the palate red fruits lead to spice, black pepper, anise and wet earth. The finish shows fine tannins and bright acidity. Delicious and perfect with our pastas! — 5 months ago

If you don’t know Wrath, you should. Across the street from SLH are their estate vineyards with unmatched QPR. Rich and tropical on the nose with loads of peach, buttery oak and citrus. The palate is perfectly balanced. Warm and toasty upon entry with rich stone fruits, the wine quickly reveals bright acidity and stony minerality. The long finish reveals and pleasant bitterness and a kiss of oak. Just lovely! — 4 months ago

Wine #5 of the night. Certainly not the most complex of desert wines but pure yum. Sweet creamy peach and apricot with velvet soft acidity and a short finish. — 7 months ago

Wine #4 of the night. The winner of the night! Fresh, young and juicy. The 15.7 alcohol was completely hidden behind plump, juicy fruits, soft oak and spice and superbly supple tannins. These wines age beautifully but the purity of a younger vintage is truly awesome. — 7 months ago
