Santa Barbara Historic Vineyards Collection Los Alamos Vineyards Chardonnay 2019

Talk about classy (or classic) Chardonnay, don’t matter really, this is both! This is in its own league when it comes to Chard. It’s crisp yet round, bright yet balanced, and acidic yet unctuous. Not old world but not typical Cali Chard. Must try this ABC. Cheers. — 5 months ago

The single vineyard ABC chards and pinots have always been instructive and must-try. R.I.P. Jim.

A bit harsh but it’s just not for me. Tannic structure is good and nice tartness - alive but just a touch too parching in the end — 2 months ago

Cuvée delle Vigne Niche Calderara Sottana Etna Rosso Red Blend 2018

Primarily Narello Mascalese. Light ruby color with garnet highlights. Lovely aromas of strawberry, minerals and copper. The palate also features strawberries, raspberries, orange and fresh herbs. Hint of Smokey tar on the finish. Medium body and tannins. Beautifully elegant and well crafted. Wonderfully consistent vintage to vintage. Thank you for opening this one, Ron B! — 6 months ago
