The Electric Pfalz Acid Test Chardonnay

The most interesting wine I’ve had in a while. All the chardo notes but then slaps you in the mouth with a bunch of Riesling. Very cool — a month ago

Lovely ripe , fine tannins and really good freshness . Good grafite , cassis tinged length.

Domaine Zind Humbrecht

Brand (Turckheim) Grand Cru Riesling 2005

Thought we had the last bottle a year ago but realized we had one more. Really very nice - a sort of time capsule wine, taking you back nearly two decades with the depth of amber color and honeyed flavor. So well balanced, with the secondary round fruit giving way to nice acids (more than I recall on the bottle a year ago). Fun one for sure. — 4 months ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Should have really decanted it. Seemed bland on the back end at first. Took about 30-40 minutes for it to really open up. — 2 months ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Drinking a 3L from 2013 in late ‘24. Love the big format bottles and aging potential. This could go a lot longer I think but is also fine to drink now.

Standard Caymus flavors and aromas that made the brand known. Dark inky crimson color. Blueberries and blackberry fruit mixed with vanilla alongside the tell-tale signs of wet band-aid. Great tannins, medium-to-big acidity, good long finish. Really nice.
