La Splendeur Du Soleil Monterey Chardonnay 2021

Citrus smell with a very buttery taste. Not my favorite Chardonnay, but still pretty good. — 19 days ago

Mer Soleil

Reserve Monterey County - Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay 2018

Taking its name from the sea and sun – the two forces of nature that shape its character. Pale lemon, aromas of Stone and tropical fruits, with floral and sweet spice notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peach & apricot with lemon zest and toasty vanilla notes. Smooth long finish, well balanced, nice acidity, ending with fruit, vanilla oak and mineral character. Sip’s well now. Pair this with some pan seared white fish. — 6 months ago

Reserve Monterey County - Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay

Taking its name from the sea and sun – the two forces of nature that shape its character. Pale lemon, aromas of Stone and tropical fruits, with floral and sweet spice notes, from a cooler climate, more hang time on the vine. On the palate flavors of apple, peach & apricot with lemon zest and toasty vanilla notes. Smooth long finish, well balanced, nice acidity, ending with fruit, vanilla oak and mineral character. Sip’s well now. Pair this with some pan sautéed halibut with a Beurre Blanc sauce. — 9 months ago

Le Roi Soleil Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Ming L
9.4

Not sure why the name, but this Sun King is stylish with great substance.

Nose is filled with ripe black plum, blueberry, cedar, cocoa, baking spices, leather and subtle forest floor. The palate is rich and gentle, layered with flavors that echo the nose. Delicious silky tannins.

Will continue to improve over the next 5 years or so.

Capella Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Entry on this wine needs to acknowledge 23% Semillon in the blend. Great acid with lemon notes that turned into pink grapefruit. Bright and crisp — a year ago

Reserve Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir 2019

Tandem Syrah du Maroc 2020

Always one of the sure values among Moroccan wines. Evocation of the Rhône-Nord, an ode to Syrah reminiscent of a Crozes or St Jo, under the vertical sun. Great consistency from the nose to the final. Requires at least two hours of ventilation. Floral, fruity, peppery etc. Even better the next day.
