Lot C-91 Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

I think this is much better than their regular Napa Valley bottling and worth the $20 premium.

The nose showcases the classic Napa fruits from a great vintage with blackberry, plum, cassis, cedar, vanilla, and touches of fresh herbs and menthol. The palate is supple yet lively, more about balance and proportion than power and depth. Quite elegant. Silky tannins.

Sounds lovely! I’ve been wanting to try Heitz, as I’ve read their style is more ‘classic’. Sounds like the C-91 may be a good starting point.

@Joel Lara I think their regular Napa Valley bottling would also be a good introduction to their style of winemaking. However, I have not tasted any vintages after 2018, a year when the winery was sold. Hopefully the new owner keeps the tradition.

Brut Rosé 1er Cru Champagne Blend

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The NV Brut Rosé 1er Cru pours a pale salmon color with a persistent mousse. The color is so pale in fact, that I’ve seen BdN with similar color! No matter, it’s pretty all the same. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of peach, apple, raspberry, lemon curd, some white flowers and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Fabulous Rosé with depth and precision. Disgorged November 2024. Drink now through 2034. — 19 days ago

C. de Pinots Brut 1er Cru Champagne Blend

A 50/50 blend of Pinot Noir and (Pinot) Meunier; mostly sourced from the 2011 vintage (40%) with the balance from 2010 and 2009.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The C. de Pinots NV pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe apple, toasted brioche, split almonds and lemon bar and spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. The DNA is there and showing a slightly more oxidative style. Drink now. Disgorged July 2016.

Double L Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

Dark purple in color with medium plus intensity.

Fruity nose with red fruits, flowers spices, light oak and chocolate notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, fresh cherries, light oak, spices, chocolate, light red candy, coffee and black pepper.

Medium on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a young Pinot Noir from Santa Lucia Highlands in California. Rich and fruit forward. Elegant and nicely balanced. Complex and interesting.

This 4 year old Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is already drinking nicely, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.

Wine Enthusiasts 91 points.

A good sipping wine that will pair nicely with food too.

100% Pinot Noir grapes were aged for 11 months in (41% new) French oak barrels. A small production of only 6,100 bottles.

13.4% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$75.

Dr. L Dry Mosel Riesling 2022

Citrus, white flowers, lemon zest and a tiny petroly note on the nose. Sharp acid drive and lemony notes all around the palate. It's dry, yes, but there is almost a sweet note in mid palate. The finish is fresh, tangy and zesty and keeps you salivating. It's not great but it does the trick quite well. — 3 years ago
