Really nice wine- floral and nice structured acidity. Drinks well! — 18 days ago

Château Cantemerle

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

2020 vintage. Heavy floral aromas of plum and cherry on the nose, deep ruby red in color. Full bodied, a slight chew on the initial intake, but still smooth on the finish. Continued to open up, great pairing with steak, phenomenal quality for the price range, $30-$40. — 3 months ago

Trisaetum

Coast Range Estate Dry Riesling 2015

Delectable Wine
9.3

Pale brilliant straw-yellow. Vibrant, incisive citrus fruit, floral and mineral aromas show outstanding clarity and a deeper pear note that emerges as the wine stretches out. A pure, sharply delineated example of Riesling, offering concentrated but nervy pink grapefruit, lime and green apple flavors along with hints of honeysuckle and green tea. Closes impressively long and precise, featuring resonating citrus zest and mineral notes and a touch of bitter quinine. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, Feb 2018) — 8 years ago

Kidnappers Vineyard Chardonnay 2022

From Hawke’s Bay! A gem of a north island region I taste so many winners from. The nose is reductive struck match with sea spray and lemon rind. The palate is enviably smooth and crisp as I wish my sheets to be. Oak lily’s with vanilla bean joining tart lemon curd and honeydew. The right balance between luxury china and clean white plates why am I referencing so many housewares in this review — 2 months ago

Ridge Vineyards

Coast Range Zinfandel Blend 2001

The first bottle right after receiving this lot felt a little overblown and pruny. So glad I waited a while before opening a second one. This is now well put together and putting across the notes I expect out of old vine field blend California coast; chocolate, coffee, cool climate lift right on top of intensity. — 6 years ago

Storybook Mountain Vineyards

Mayacamas Range Napa Estate Zinfandel 2021

Night 2 notes. The oaky notes from being first opened on night one are gone. It’s a little softer, higher in acid, and less intense than other vintages I’ve had. Nose has bright, ripe red berries, some brambly notes, and irony earth. On the palate there’s nice intensity on entry, but it flattens out a bit in the finish. I’d say this is for earlier drinking than the typical Storybooks I’m used to. — 3 days ago

Interesting, I actually haven’t tried any Storybook Zins for, say, 15 years?

@Doug Powers - I have several of their various Zins in the cellar. They generally tend to be balanced, elegant, and age well. (Similar to Ridge in that respect.) I’ve never seen one that hit 15 ABV, which I interpret (and appreciate) as conscious restraint.

Te Kahu Gimblett Gravels Vineyard Merlot Blend 2015
