Contra Costa County Carignane 2018

Purple red, medium pigment extraction. Fresh grape flavors initially, like eating table grapes. After ten minutes, red fruit aromas and black currant and cherry flavors, well balanced, slightly bitter seed tannins on finish. Clean, medium bodied red wine, fresh and fruity. — 3 days ago

Young but the wine is so on point. By far the best American Chardonnay on the market. Crazy acidity, so much citrus, tropicals including passion fruit, just amazing 🤩 — 17 days ago

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2022

This is a $11 bottle and it’s a very nice smooth white wine. Had it with some garlic shrimp and a perfect pair. I’d say B+ as not a lot of excitement but it’s a nice even flavor from start to finish. — 20 hours ago

Tasted the ‘13 vintage not long ago while it was fantastic I felt it just slightly passed its peak. This 15’ is in top form. Nice cherry fruit concentration and freshness on the nose. The palate is a bit richer than the nose suggests with dark plum and abundant earthy elements. Lingering mellow tannins.
Fruits from Wairau Valley. 12 months in French oak barrel, 35% new.
