Santa Barbara County Chardonnay 2018

On with ABC. Five year old chard this time. Not as crisp as it’s younger counterparts and aging a little better than expected. There’s exuberant pineapple on the nose, palate, and finish, somehow it works… Not overpowering but refreshing, like pineapple shaved iced from childhood… High acidity, medium alcohol, slightly oaky and beginning to show sings of integration. Cheers. — 22 days ago

Alpine Vineyard Pinot Noir 2006

WOTN for all of us even with the cork being a disaster. Firing beautifully with layers and layers of fruit, spice, and earth. Everything in its place. The waiter decanted into a kitchen quart tupperware for us, lol. — 10 days ago

Santa Barbara County Grenache 2019

This 2029 is elegance in a bottle. One of the most feminine, lithe Grenache’s I’ve ever had. An almost indescribable mid palate. Like a ruby with a thousand facets. Wonderful soothing lingering black tea finish. — a month ago

Belle Glos

Clark & Telephone Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

Big and bold Pinot! Deep purple/garnet color. Aromas of cooked black berry/raspberry, purple flowers, black licorice and pepper spice. More black cherry and blueberry fruit on the palate with notes of dark chocolate, baking spices and maple. Quite rich, concentrated and viscous. Velvety tannins and moderately low acidity. Big Pinot! — 9 days ago

Estate Monte Bello Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2016

Excellent cab. Nicely aged but could go more with no problem. Full bodied with light oak tones and a delectable richness in flavor. One of my favorites. — 6 days ago
