Sonoma Reserve Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Fairly typical Sonoma County #cabernetsauvignon impressions on the nose, brambly fruit, touch of earth. Notably more dusty fruit on the palate, decent acidity considering how hot that year was. Less of a jam bomb so this #alexandervalley Cab was pretty enjoyable to me. — 5 days ago

Sonoma Reserve Dry Creek Valley Merlot 2015

After seven years in the bottle, this Merlot has aged to bring out fine flavors like dark fruit, and blackberry layered with herbal notes of vanilla spice. Dry and satisfying. — 9 months ago

Frei Road Vineyard Chardonnay 2018

9.3

Compared to the 2018 Lancel Creek I opened last year, this was a bit more coiled and shy (and this is already my second check-in with this wine). As a fun side by side, I had a 2019 Arista UV-Diablo Chardonnay open (same winemaker)…not the same vineyard, but the Arista showed more expressive fruit earlier on.

As is typical for this wine, it was faint straw colored in the glass with honeysuckle, sea spray and bright lemon pastry aromatics. Signature nervy acidity is apparent right off the bat without being a detractor. Yellow fruits abound alongside herbs and faint meringue with texture that straddles the middle beautifully. Long finish with mineral notes and nice weight (oak use is balanced).

Followed over two days and it certainly fleshed out and presented more “soft” (in a good way). Healthy decant now or keep tucked away a bit longer.

Frei Vineyard Happī Chenin 2022

The grapes in this 2022 vintage are from Massa Vineyard in Carmel Valley (not Frei). Bosc pear, nutty, saline and low acidity. I usually prefer brighter, crisper whites, but this is very nice for Fall. — a year ago
