Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
Bright red fruit and baked strawberries on the nose. Berry cobbler, vanilla extract and coffee bean. Delicious, and improves further into the bottle. — 20 days ago
Charles Heidsieck
Rosé Réserve Brut Champagne Blend
Cheers to Champagne Charlie!
This is the Charles Heidsieck Brut Rosé Réserve. It’s made with a blend of Pinot Noir (40%), Chardonnay (35%), Meunier (25%). It’s a non-vintage wine that cellared in Charles Heidsieck’s famous chalk cellars (crayeres) for 4+ years.
It’s a beautiful salmon hue in appearance and offers complex aromas and flavors including strawberry shortcake, lemon curd, fresh raspberry, baked peach, pie crust, brioche, cream, nougat, toasted almond croissant, candied nuts, and dried pink rose petals. On the palate is a fine and creamy mousse and vibrant acidity.
It’s positively delicious, complex, and balanced. A non-vintage that drinks like a vintage champagne. Yum! — 9 days ago
Charles Smith
Royal City Washington Syrah 2019
Earthy, blue fruit, smoked pork, olive brine, more alcohol on the nose than I recall, nice cigar smoke, dark ruby almost purple yet bright still, terroir driven with a sense of place. I feel like royalty with every sip. — 24 days ago
Krug
Vintage Brut Champagne Blend 1995
The 1995 Krug showed a touch more oxidative and had more concentrated fruit than the ‘96 Pierre Peters that we enjoyed alongside. There’s a lovely mélange of strawberry, white peach, citrus, nuts and marshmallow. Similarly to the PP, there’s fabulous acid and a long life ahead. — 2 months ago

Light amber. Beautifully settled and rounded. Hints of berry fruit, some brioche notes, dried apricot, honey. Still vivacious and bright but so complex and long. Delicious. — 14 days ago
