Imbue

El Enemigo

Mendoza Chardonnay 2017

This is a good wine albeit a tad more ripe than I like, but both the viticulture and the wine making imbue much needed freshness and salinity that balance everything out. — 5 years ago

Veritas Vineyard

Monticello Viognier 2015

Before anything I’m compelled to admit my bias and admiration for Veritas Vineyards. I love the place. And with that out of the way, I’m going to describe my experience with the ‘15 Viognier as I experienced it. No fancy words or “miraculously subtle” sorts of “mandatory praise” that one often comes across when they like what they try. The nose of the ‘15 Veritas Viognier brings about that warm feeling on your shoulders of a sunny day, out in the meadow. The exquisite approach and palate imbue the very essence of spring water in summer- round, lush and satisfying for a long, long way. The juicy finish succinctly acts as a juicy, last look and reflection of that gorgeous, borderline resplendent day in the sun that you NEEDED. As a proper & fitting coda, and as an element that only further drew me into this gorgeously-simple experience- it was a twist-off... which truly and most genuinely completed this wine’s perfection, for tonight. — 5 years ago

Belle Glos

Clark & Telephone Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013

Between Dairyman Vineyard and Las Alturas, this may be my favorite Belle Glos label Pinot Noir. Vapor like traces of mint on the nose w/concentrated blackberry marmalade and rum flavors imbue intriguing complexity to this well oak and tannin extracted Pinot Noir. — 10 years ago

Palacios Remondo

La Montesa Alfaro Rioja Baja Tempranillo Blend 2009

The bright ruby '09 Palacios Remondo Rioja 'La Montesa' is a fruit-forward blend of Garnacha and Tempranillo. Strawberry, leather and fennel aromas with hints of orange peel imbue the nose. A tad hot in the mouth, but the alcohol burn dissipates quickly with food. Picked up hints of licorice and red fruits on the moderate length finish. A real value. — 11 years ago
