La Porte Dorée Cour-Cheverny Romorantin 2020

2020. I believe this is my first Romorantin based wine, so I read through the tasting notes here and was excited to try it. Rich orchard fruit, good acid, and definitely get the oxidized sherry-like notes some mentioned. Paired with snacks while watching the Masters. Not quite their Pimento Cheese Sandwich, but my goat cheese stuffed roasted red peppers and black olives went great with the wine! — 13 days ago

Les Pouches La Porte Saint Jean Saumur Cabernet Franc 2020

Solid, but just a tad too much Brett for me that ended up more of a distraction rather than beneficial. — a month ago

Château de la Négly

Porte du Ciel Coteaux du Languedoc Syrah Blend 2015

This region needs to be updated to show that it’s La Clape and not the one listed. Decanted for 30 minutes and opened up very nicely from a closed off and wine to something that had real light, leather and tobacco and maraschino cherry flavors to it. Definitely mellowed quickly and can’t be sitting around waiting but enough structure to support a lot of those meaty and cigarbox flavors.  — 2 months ago

Martinborough Pinot Noir 2013

A serious Pinot after the frivolous fresh young uncomplicated Pinot from Bloody Hill (Mayer) in the Yarra Valley. Quite bold with strong red and black fruits of cherry strawberry and raspberry together with earthy mushroom like notes. Finishes with fine powdery tannins. An interesting back story to the origins of the Malcolm vineyard where cuttings from one of “Burgundy’s finest estates “ believed to be in Vosne Romanee were illegally brought from France. Now known as the Abel clone. See full story on the Ata Rangi website. — 9 months ago
