Vine Starr Sonoma County Zinfandel 2023

Pretty consistent with the 22 vintage. Tart, fresh, raspberry, a little bitter and herbaceous towards the end. Slightly less abv at 12%

Follow up: By day 3, it’s not good anymore.

Domaine Font de Michelle

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2016

Nose has deep blackberry fruit and a bit of garrigue-y earthy notes, a little iodine. Deeply rich in the mouth. The fruit has a very slight pruny element but does not detract. In the finish, however, the peppery heat of the alcohol (only a stated 14.5%) makes a prominent appearance. Long. — 7 months ago

Gibson Ranch Grenache Gris Rosé 2023

That time of year again. My second vintage of this funky rosé. Just like I remembered. Some polarizing reviews, but I love the wildness of this Grenache Gris. Just right for turning leaves and Fall harvest. Would also be nice as a Thanksgiving aperitif if you can wait. But I had it with leftovers. — 2 months ago

[Tasted on May 24, 2024 at Home]

Blend is Grenache driven. Plum, blackberry and raspberry fruit, with notes of mint, licorice, spice and forest floor. Drinking well.

Michael Mara Vineyard Chardonnay 2015

This was the original wine that taught me what Chardonnay was capable of, and this one, with 8 years of aging still impressed. My friend Eric said it best, “it’s a schizophrenic wine”, the nose is wild and natural, super funky malo, with incredible tartness and yellow citrus, like an underripe pineapple and musty funk. The palate though on this slightly opaque, pale golden liquid is very different. Lemon curd, baked silky citrus explosion, with a woody, forest floor, and mineral like spine that rolls right down the middle, and ends with a surprisingly chalky and stony finish. Such a special site for wine, elevated by the measured hand of a veteran winemaker. @Chris Brockway — 4 months ago

Petillant Wine Mendocino Valdiguié 2022

Excellent! Fresh dry fruit and a very nutty finish. Red-pink color and fine bubbles. With millet-peanut stuffed avocados and harissa salsa. Thanks Broc! — 7 months ago
