Ma Douce Sonoma County Chardonnay 2015

9.3

Tried many times to upload a picture last night, without success. Feed wasn’t refreshing either.
This had begun its decline. Oxidized aroma when the cork was pulled. Cardboard and lemons on the nose. Palate was lively with exotic sweet fruits and baked apples. Remaining acidity kept this from falling off a cliff. Drink these now.

Unfortunately, availability and stability are measures that require attention…

Arguably, and consistently, the best American white wine made. Unfortunately, not that many contenders for that crown.

Pierre Morlet

Grande Réserve Brut 1er Cru Rosé Champagne

This is packed with strawberry, cherry, raspberry, and oh so cool minerals. A green minty spring aroma. Crushed granite on the palate. Elegant, textured, great acid, beautiful mousse. — 2 years ago

Mon Chevalier Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

This is simply delightful, bloody awesome actually.
Typical Napa-purity and dito density, yet laced with Bdx-like treble-notes of freshness, acidity and transparency.
Served it alongside maigret/parsnip/anise-jus, but liked it better before and after this fantastic dish.
Score might be on the conservative side…

Morlet Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

2018 vintage. From Coravin. First or second best old or new Napa Cab nose I've smelled this year. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Phenomenal bouquet. Grippy mountain fruit vibes. Lean and mean up front with some meat and softness near the caboose. Neither directly old or new school but evoking certain echoes of both while attempting to carve out a unique path/destiny. 10.24.24. — 2 months ago

Jarvis Winery

Estate Grown Cave Fermented Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

On my first trip out to Napa (2015), Jarvis was one of the favorites, and so we went back in 2016 and again in 2018. We go to Napa every year, and it’s one of the only wineries we have visited multiple times.

This was part of a retrospective on 2012 Napa cabs, alongside Shafer HSS, Scarecrow, Morlet CdV, Bryant DB4, Dominus, Pulido Walker Melanson, Kapscandy, Buccella Cuvee Katrina Eileen and others. Definitely the most restrained.

For some reason, I always get a streak of green peppercorn on all of the reds from Jarvis. It’s not off putting, just a signature of the winemaking. I’ve never found these wines to be overblown/high alcohol. They aren’t quite Bordeaux like, but they are clearly in between current Napa style and a restrained bridge to Bordeaux. This 2012 was true to the above. Aromatics here has green peppercorn, tar, underripe black fruits and a very fragrant potpourri note. Even after being open a few hours this was strong with zippy acidity surrounded by pepper crusted blackberries, mocha, black cherries and even some leather (not Brett driven, though). Blind, maybe someone takes this to left bank Bordeaux in a ripe vintage…but the kiss of sweetness is hard to take away from Napa. Wonderfully delicious and complex Cabernet starting to enter a great drinking window.
