Carco Patrimonio Nielluccio 2020

Really a very nice Corsican red. I believe the grape is the local version of Sangiovese. Has some very different purple flowers and herbal notes, but still the great tension and acid. Delicious and interesting. — 4 months ago

Carco 2018

2021/12/10-11. An appealingly bright ruby, this has lots of herby cherry and some complexity from earth and a hint of spice. — 3 years ago

Antica Terra

Antikythera Pinot Noir

Had this bottle at the Bird Cafe in Pt Arena. They have very reasonable corkage fees. This is a very velvety dense Pinot. Loved it, so glad I started buying from winery in early 2000, think this 2014 could go another 15-20 years.
Slow to open, but lasting through the 3 hour dinner, wish bottle was bigger

Myriad Cellars

Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Early, okay! My tongue is doing a happy dance. In my arena, perfection! Blackberries, Black Cherry, dark chocolate, expresso, black strap molasses, tar, graphite, vanilla bean, Eucalyptus, and Forrest floor! Mike Smith magic! — 10 months ago

@Jan de Weerd I hesitated, then I referenced Winemakers notes!

Antoine Arena

Patrimoio Rosé 2017

Salty, crunchy, blood orange, and lemon citrus, mineral inflected attack that fans out to salt and fruit in the finish. Not for everyone but a nice change from your typical rose. — 3 years ago

Hauts de Carco Patrimonio 2016

Sangiovese by way of Corsica. Somewhat earthier, spicier, more rustic. Acid a bit less and overall less polished than, say, a Tuscan Chianti. But a quite nice restrained wine. — 2 years ago

Dangerously quaffable. Sweet marzipan with underlying tang. — 3 years ago

Agnès et René Mosse

Arena Savennières Chenin Blanc 2019

Honestly I haven’t been drinking wine for a while but this has reinvigorated my interest. Mosse is underrated these days. Depth and balance and finesse beyond its price tag. — 3 years ago
