Ten Estate Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

A lovely wine. Raspberries, black cherries, and plums. I slightly prefer the 2016, but this is still an excellent wine. — 12 days ago

Smokey, cocoa, black and red cherries and a beautiful stoniness. Wonderful florals as well. Leather as well. Juicy, bright and textured with terrific purity and freshness. Wow this is juicy and long. So so nimble. Excellent length. Really so complete. Lovely mid palate and just so elegant. This is best bottle yet. — 2 years ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Vaillons Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2002

Light gold color. Killer Chablis nose comes on after 3 hours of air. Notes of apricot, wet river stone, citrus, honey, white Kimmeridgian clay, sea shells, and tan spice. Has nicely developed secondary notes, and this is just starting to hit its stride. Rich and powerful. I think with about 5 more years the 2002 Raveneaus will start hitting their mark in a big way. — 2 years ago

Domaine Dauvissat-Camus

La Forest Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2004

Light gold color, young and fresh. High-pitched, fruit-forward nose. Notes of lemon, sea breeze, wet stone, candied fruit, some white clay soil and a hint of honey. Nice weight and mouth feel. Solid finish. In a good drinking window, but this baby has a lot of enjoyment time in front of it. — 2 years ago

El Goru Gold Monastrell Blend

A very well balanced wine that has good fruit throughout. Slight bit of black cherry that stays stays throughout the palate the fruit lunges and the wine finishes with a tough of dryness. — 2 months ago

Moussé Fils

L'or D'Eugene Brut Blanc de Noirs

Again it’s a champagne from Cédric Moussé, one of the Masters of Meunier. He’s almost single-handedly put Cuisles on the wine map. The L’Or D’Eugéne is a perfect introduction to his style.

Medium gold with fast paced perlage and an attractive bouquet. Black cherries and pretty flowers combine with chalk and herbs. In the mouth, it’s racy and vivacious. Sexy and a bit thrilling with zippy acidity. 80/20 Pinot Meunier/Pinot Noir from a perpetual reserve with an Extra Brut dosage of 2 g/l.

I’ve always wanted to drink this over a few days. To really let it breathe and mature in the glass. To really let it set and enjoy it over time. But I can’t. It’s just too damn good.
