Jessie James Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

Fell out of habit of delectable-ing but this terroir driven Willamette Pinot reminded me to keep documenting the yummmz! Clay, herbs, luxardo cherry (without the syrupy sweet). — 15 days ago

Ceritas

Peter Martin Ray Vineyard Chardonnay 2019

Nice wine, but a bit less full and interesting than I was hoping. Slightly thin and almost a bit watery. Still nice refinement and a decent finish. — a month ago

Have had the same “what am I missing” experience with Ceritas. Perhaps just drinking too young…or not?

@Tyler Felous I’m not sure. I’ve had other bottlings - both younger and older - that I quite enjoyed. But for the price the variability is disappointing.

Agreed. Waiting on some of their new Cabernet bottlings. Optimistic 🤞

Alain Jaume & Fils

Domaine Grand Veneur Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

Deep dark brooding color with rich ripe nose and blackberries and dark fruit. A winner should evolve further over next decade. — a month ago

Alain Graillot

Les Chenes Vert Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2020

Dark, inky Hermitage Syrah….has that extreme earthiness I don’t love in these northern Rhônes - you get it right on the nose, and then has a slightly acidic/sour after taste - opens up a bit after a few hours — 7 days ago

Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir 2014

Garnet with orange edge. Powerful concentrated aroma. 1.5 hours, getting stabilized. But deep. Complexity. Forest floor. Spices. Aged. Dry. Good experience to feel same vintage between 10 years and 4 years. Hudellot - Noellat Chambolle Musigny 14 @590/G(3900 for 2018), Fred, 241102 — 22 days ago

Crous St Martin

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2021

Classic CDP. Bright fruit, mellow tannins. And that certain chewiness that screams for a steak dinner. Hints of crushed pepper. Very balanced. — a month ago

Alain Graillot

Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2021

Just trying for the team. Very nice. Smoky with nice acidity. — 20 days ago

Domaine Laroche

Saint Martin Chablis Chardonnay 2023

This is why they call it Oysterwater combining with fresh oysters at the sea in Cancale.
Life can be hard sometimes.
