9.1

Pale lemon yellow color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits, white blossom and bright mineral scents. On the palate wine has a lush texture with flavors of apple, pear, melon, citrus and vanilla notes, silky with a long finish ending with fruit, floral, spice and creamy mineral character. Very nice! Pair this with a swordfish topped with a dill sauce! — 10 days ago

I picked up a couple ‘88s recently as I’m always looking for birth year wines and opted to open this one first. Rough label, but provenance was great.

Consumed from bottle over the course of two hours. After 10-20mins of blowing off so 30+yr funk, this became a total surprise! Faded ruby with bricking but that’s the only sign that this had age. Aromatics sported sweet cherry tobacco, older floral/potpurri, and a mix of red and black berry fruits. Juicy and vibrant on the palate! Shocked. Core of red and black fruits carry the profile with fig, herbs and a little bit of leather. Good spine of acidity here. Not much tannin at the finish, but it’s classically old Napa merlot. Drink up and enjoy! — 21 days ago

Deep Ruby color with aromas of black fruits, cedar and baking spice, aged in 40% new French oak. On the palate flavors of ripe cherry and raspberry with cola and sweet cinnamon spice notes. Full-bodied, fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak and an earthy mineral character. Nice! — 25 days ago

2022 - pretty decent all around. No complaints. Lower acidity than the previous Sancerre, wider legs, emptier body, don’t really have a ton of flavor info — 2 months ago

Oaky, rich, full bodied, a bit too much on its own, better if paired with a fatty steak. — 16 days ago

Not normally a fan of California Merlot, but this one surprised me. Very drinkable, but with enough complexity. Excellent with a bowl of seafood stew. — 19 days ago

Pale lemon-straw in the glass with medium intensity. Bright citrus notes of lemon, lime, and grapefruit with apple, peach, pineapple, and subtle floral hints. Fuller-bodied than many Sauvignon Blancs, with a rounded texture that’s balanced by medium-plus acidity and a mineral-driven finish. A hint of bread dough. Opens up with time. — 3 months ago
