Marcassin

Marcassin Vineyard Chardonnay 2009

2009 vintage. Golden color. Heavy body (still!!). Unctuous with a corresponding amount of acidity to keep the proceedings in check for the next decade. This ain’t going nowhere. About as far from my “jam” as is possible but still other-worldly. 5.1.24. — 12 hours ago

L'Avion Santa Ynez Valley Roussanne 2020

This wine has a rich, golden color. The nose offers a bounty of nice things. Lemons, apricots, almonds and vanilla, all wrapped up in buttery goodness. The palate is earthy, nutty and fruity all at once. The acidity is fresh and the finish long, with a good streak of salinity staying after the sip. — 6 months ago

Mr. K The Noble Man Alban Vineyard Chardonnay 2002

2002. Wow. Beautiful and elegant. Only 10% abv according to the label but I’d guess higher. Petrol, honey, Corn Pops cereal, dill, mandarin oranges, golden raisin. This is amazing. — 5 months ago

Central Coast Dry Gewürztraminer 2021

Pale golden white, excellent clarity. Pineapple and orchard fruit aromas. Flavors of pineapple, guava, litchi, lemon and pear finish. Pleasing skin astringency in finish and aftertaste. Some barrel character as well, presumably neutral wood. This wine is going fairly tropical but it’s a lovely pairing to my seafood and tofu yellow curry. Still a winner — a year ago

Charles Heintz Vineyard Chardonnay 2014

On the list at Norda in Göteborg. Popped and poured; served at cellar temperature. At this stage the 2014 Charles Heintz Vineyard is vinous, appearing a deep golden color with lovely aromas of desiccated stone fruits, nuts, squishy tropical fruit and some baking spices. On the palate, the aforementioned notes are confirmed and accompanied by a lovely, remarkably creamy texture. This is a rich Chardonnay however there is a good spine of acid that helps to proved a long, dry finish. Drink now. — 2 years ago

Mount Eden Vineyards

Wolff Vineyard Chardonnay 2020

Really solid california chardonnay that gives you all that you want in this varietal from that region. Light golden color. Has a toasty and slightly oxidized nose that gives way to tropical fruits. Mostly pineapple. Great structure, strong acidity but not biting. More tropical flavors inside with vanilla, some lemon butter, and a nice oak finish. — 2 months ago
