Les Argales Chardonnay Savagnin 2018

A rare bird. I am a fan of Nicolas Jacob wines but I have not found any vintage later than 2020. This is a skin contact wine . It is a blend of 80% Chardonnay & 20% Savagnin. Sensory over load . All kinds of orchard fruit pop up at varying times accompanied by earth and some funkiness. On the palate oranges , lemons , peaches and a hint of VA. Very juicy and complex. Wonderful acidity . I cannot find my picture of the back label. This might be the 2018 or 2019.
I apologize for the confusion .

Hoffman Lane Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Another winespies purchase that has proven to be a good purchase. Strong spice, blackberry and slight cherry, cinnamon, and more. Medium tannins. A 7 year old wine that likely could age another 5 - 10 years. — 3 years ago

Mon Chou #6 Camusi Vineyard Red Blend 2015

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days and consistent throughout. The 2015 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core and some slight rim variation. Medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing and beginning to show, some secondary characteristics with a combination of tart, ripe and desiccated, black and red fruits: brambles, cassis, green bell pepper, pipe tobacco, leather, cocoa, organic earth and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The texture is that of a velvet glove. The finish is long and satisfying. Years ago, I cut my teeth on the wines of Ray and Nancy Coursen, especially their Elyse label while their Jacob Franklin label remained elusive to me. It’s clear there is similar DNA. This is a delicious, giving wine that is squarely in its drinking window. Drink now through 2030. — 4 months ago

@Jay Kline Very much enjoyed the JF petite sirah’s. As you would expect big wines but they had balance and complexity. Drank them way to early 🥺

@Ira Schwartz while I can’t speak for the JF Petite Sirah’s, I drank a ton of the Elyse PS’s and agree: big but balanced and beautiful. Age-worthy too.

Ladoix Pinot Noir 2018

On the nose, breeding stands out on notes of sweet tobacco, cedar. The mouth is fresh, supple, simple but charming. The aging is fine, and the sour red fruit is fresh and crunchy. Beautiful gourmet and affordable cuvée that does not lack finesse. To be tasted in two years.

Au nez, l’élevage ressort sur des notes de tabac doux, cèdre. La bouche est fraîche souple, simple mais charmante. L’élevage est fin, et le fruit rouge acidulé est frais et croquant. Belle cuvée gourmande et abordable qui ne manque pas de finesse. A regoûter dans deux ans.

@romo Yes. An appellation that remains at a reasonable price, which is generally not the case in Burgundy.
