Silver Eagle Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020

Weekend catch-up. 2020 Ferren Silver Eagle Vineyard - I pulled this wine to share with friends. Winemaker Matt Courtney founded Ferren after a lengthy apprenticeship with Helen Curley at Marcassin Vineyard. This wine gives briny minerality, citrus, and everything else that’s wonderful about a well made Chardonnay.

Sommelier Selection Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2018

This was cheap at Lidl but punches above its price range for sure. Nice and crisp, a bit fruity and not too acidic. — 3 years ago

Key West Sauvignon Blanc Key Lime

I love this wine. I hesitated to try it, but I'm SO glad I did! It's dead on key lime with a creaminess that makes me think of the pie! It's not overly tart though which was my worry. Keel and Curley are becoming a local favorite of mine. — 4 years ago

IGNEOUS CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2019

2019 vintage. Smoky. Gratuitous. Big-boned. Fairly plushy end to end with enough of a burgeoning tannic finish to act as a capable keel. Undeniably both delicious and Napa. 4.13.23. — a year ago

Pato Vineyard Mataro 2017

A beautiful light cherry red color in the glass. The nose blooms with floral notes, dried cherries, and soft herbs. This is one of those wines that you would file under easy drinking or fun, but that’s no reason to not take it seriously. After getting plenty of air, it’s so inviting and gracious. Perfectly sweet with just the right amount of fruit, it always keeps an even keel. Layered fruit and spices on the mid palate. Raspberry and cherry are dominant on the palate, along with oak, herbs, and spice. A touch of leather and violets round things off. Tiny production but a truly outstanding wine. If you like standard California Mourvèdre then you may be looking in the wrong place. This is so far above the norm. — 4 years ago

Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

Delectable Wine
9.4

The 2018 Les Carmes Haut-Brion was aged in 75% new oak with a touch more matured in foudres. It includes 55% whole bunches. This has a slight confit-like aroma on the nose, plush cranberry and wild strawberry intermingling with cassis and violet; aromatically, this is the more precocious recent vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine tannins, clean and pure with excellent acidity keeping everything on an even keel towards the finish. The 2018 has a caressing texture and is very persistent. I might quibble and say that I just find the nose a little trop, but the palate is superb. Tasted at the Les Carmes Haut-Brion vertical at the château. (Neal Martin, Vinous, October 2022)

Fratelli Branca Distillerie

Fernet-Branca Liqueur

Another “is it amaro?” But I care not because I really like it. Stupid bitter. Ever so much mint and maybe licorice but mostly just bitterness that makes you wanna keel over but in the best way. This bitter is a happy field trip. — 6 years ago
