Chestnut Oak Vineyard

Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Wow, after a day of air just became quite spectacular in its own right… As I say, east coast cab sauv is it’s own varietal taste and this one pops with fresh cherry and balanced structure. Almost Sangiovese-esk... totally worth the $20 discounted price.  — 4 years ago

Naked Mountain

Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 2016

This is one of those top 20 Bargain VA wines, at $17 at Wegmans. N/M is old of the older operations in the state and they have a lot of Chardonnay planted. Their micro-climate yields tighter acidity coupled with the granite based soils makes for northern Burgundian-esk chards. The 3 pillars of Chard-Balance: FreshFruit, energized acid, and texture. It’s all here, just in a budget, non-reserve way. Still, better than most at twice the price. Great white for food throughout the winter months. Toasty caramelized Apple notes are to the point - finish is dominated by the barrel attributes. No worries, cream-based anything :) — 6 years ago

Esk Valley

Hawkes Bay Chardonnay 2017

Elegant new world Chardonnay made in one of the best NZ wine region of Hawkes bay. Slightly oaked that brings the vanilla out along with a butter popcorn balanced with citrusy grapefruit notes. One interesting note: hints of daiginjo sake on the nose; perhaps it’s the white flower or lychees aromas. Nice new world white. — 5 years ago

Gimblett Gravels Merlot Blend 2017

Fantastic, full bodied wine (and excellent with a bit of dark chocolate, which really brings out the plum). — 7 years ago
