Estate Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

We are into the 10 year old wines this weekend. And as we are heading to Walla Walla, we thought to give this wine a try after it was been in my cellar for more than 10 years. And…. hmm, a bit disappointed. Had expected much more complexity, layers of flavored and endless finish. Nope. Nice wine though, smooth, balanced, great vibrancy but, yeah, still single note and I don’t think there is more to discover with aging. — 24 days ago

Knights Bridge

Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

So delicious! High end but it was on sale so I tried it and then snagged a few more! If you haven’t tried out of Sonoma County, you really should. It surprised me! — 5 years ago

I opened my go-to Knights Valley Cabernet to compare it with the Trace Ridge from Jackson Estate. While the two share a similar aromatic profile, this offers a fuller body, greater depth, and a firmer structure, making it the more sophisticated of the two.

This is the KB, the entry level cab. Prior notes apply.

Lodi Zinfandel 2017

The best jammy wine between 2 gums. Out of stock. Anyone know where I can find a case or 2? — 4 years ago

Good value from Wegmans. Reminds me of some sort of rum, both in aroma and flavor. Very pleasant. — 5 years ago

Reininger

Pepper Bridge Vineyard Malbec 2013

Needed some time to open up and reveal its dark fruit flavors of dark cherry, tart plum and pomegranate. Limited depth. Wondering if this wine is already getting over its peak.... — 5 years ago

Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2014

14.4% ABV Dark color. Black fruit. Nice aromatics. My kind of Zin. Sourced from Forchini. 98% Zin, 2% P. Surah. — 8 months ago

Winderlea Vineyard and Winery

Winderlea Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016

Dark amethyst. Inviting, voluptuous nose of blackberry and violets. Echoed on the medium full, fruit-forward palate adding juicy black cherry and a hint of earthenware. Medium tannins and medium plus acidity. Excellent Dundee Hills PN that's a great foil for almost any fare, but with enough fruit for on its own drinking. A bridge between California and Burgundy. Drink now through 2026 or even a bit beyond. — 3 years ago

En Remilly Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay 2016

My second time with this producer after having the 2015 Les Frionnes a few weeks ago. I find the two to be quite different and definitely preferred the En Remilly.

Aromatically, it shows caramel dipped Granny Smith apple, melon, pineapple, honeysuckle and a kiss of oak. Where it really differs from the Les Frionnes is the profile on the palate...much more texture and richness here. Classical chalk and limestone alongside more melon, underripe white peach, and the very end of the finish has a note of granulated brown sugar which is really unique (and enjoyable). It’s all wrapped in a nicely dense but quite lifted profile. The warmer it gets, the more honeyed it gets. I thought this was best just a tad warmer than cellar temp, and feel this would be a good bridge to white burgundy for those who enjoy quality US chards. Thanks to
@David T again for the intro to this producer!
