Nice, but I detect this this is on it’s downward swing. Roasted pineapple combines with lychees. soft acidity and baking spices complete a nice presentation. probably better 2 years prior. — 4 days ago

@John Van Trijp, yes, I was a little surprised, too. Having said that, I’ve had very few underperforming bottles from Aubert.

@LM Segal, in general, U.S. whites or reds rarely posses the longevity of their Burgundy counterparts. I have a number of old Cali whites which I will road-test for S and G’s.

Roots Run Deep Winery

Educated Guess Napa County Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Dark ruby red. Medium to full body.
Nose of earth, plum cherry fruit.
Dry with a hint of ripe sweetness.
Chocolaty, dark red fruits plum, cherry, blackberry. Dusty, round tannins and acidity. Nice wine overall.

Very light, intentionally, I suppose. Very enjoyable. Good summer red. Serve chilled. — a month ago

Brut Anderson Valley Sparkling Pinot Noir - Chardonnay Blend

I love this bubbly! It has been a long time since I found this bubbly in my area. Creamy, complex, honeyed brioche buns, apples, minerals, lemon, just delicious for the price point! Although, this wine is up 40% from what I use to purchase @ ten years ago! — 6 days ago

Williams Selyem

Weir Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

Bright Ruby color, purple edges, with aromas of ripe fruits, floral and complex spice, vineyard planted in 1991. On the palate concentrated flavors of blueberry, strawberry and cherry with citrus, herbs, vanilla and oak, aged on French oak, soft tannins on well balanced structure. Full body, rich long finish, ending with ripe fruit, vanilla, floral and oaky tones. Very Nice! Will age a bit! — 20 days ago
