Sipping Fine Wine

My new Favorite white, just love mountain fruit! Named for mountain range dividing Napa & Sonoma, old stone winery dug into side of dormant volcano crater in 1889, remained in production ever since. Pale lemon with aromas of Tropical and stone fruit with complex spice and floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, pear and citrus with light oak and nutty tones, fresh and vibrant, well integrated. Long finish ending with fruit and flinty mineral characteristics. Long aging potential. Nice! — 4 years ago

A very small production of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio from an ancient vineyard on the slope of a crater of Mount Etna. Minerality at it best and elegance. — 8 years ago

Leah's brand spanking new Côt, aka Malbec, hails from Crater Lake Vineyard on ancient marine sedimentary soils. Frisky acidity keeps the black raspberry starry depths in focus. It's a baby, though it's a pretty niña, I can't wait to see all the places this Côt will go. For now, being in my glass is mighty fine! — 11 years ago

Malvasia Bianco. Pre-phylloxera vineyards in old crater in Lipari. Pumice, ash and sand soil. Great example of a volcanic wine and minerality. Complex yet quaffable, aromatic herbs, slight honey and smoky notes. Very intriguing wine! — 6 years ago

Had the 2013 a while back, and I gotta say the 2014 is slammin'. Well balanced, quenchy, stone fruity, zesty. The force is strong for GB in Oregon. — 11 years ago
