Areio e Vento e Amor Evangelho Vineyard Red Blend 2019
Fine light drinking red with an assortment of heirloom varietals you would see in a Sandlands release. Down the middle table red style with good acid but lighter in alcohol and tannins. — 6 months ago

Tenuta Iuzzolini
Madre Goccia Crotone Greco Chardonnay 2022
Subtle sweetness on a dry white was unexpected of a southern Italian white - good thing I didn’t have to try this blind, I’d have guessed something Alsatian. That said, it was great. — 10 months ago

Sine Qua Non
Pajarito Del Amor Grenache 2016
+2 hour decant (little cloudy sediment). A gorgeous purplish dark magenta color. On the nose: deep notes of bright red fruit, clove, floral, charred meat, smokey marshmallow. Taste: luscious, balanced, indulgent wine with cherry/strawberry, graphite, spice, dark chocolate, dried herbs, and a dark coffee bean long lingering finish. YUM! — 4 months ago
Au Bon Climat
Santa Barbara Historic Vineyards Collection Sierra Madre Vineyard Chardonnay 2005
Stunningly complex, mesmerising and fantastic.
Full of tertiary notes: Figs, hazelnuts, stemmed ginger, dried lemon peel, honey. Loads of caramel, baking spices, vanilla and tonka beans. Quite oxidative almost sherry like. Super bright acidity, wonderful balance and structure, a super lush and creamy finish. — 7 months ago

Manages to be bright with moderate acidity and still have a waxy last taste to it. Bright straw and slightly under ripe gooseberries, slightly under ripe raisins, persimmons. It has the tart and the acid hit a good golden flavor that has enough sugar developed to not be just bitter. Smooth and flowing, not very viscous, considering the waxy flavors to it, but overall a definite winner, especially in combination with avocado, garlic, pita bread, and all sorts of grilled meats, al pastor style.  — 22 days ago
