York Mountain Clairette Blanche 2019

From Anthony Yount (also makes Kinero in addition to his main gig at Denner), this is a terrific, lighter style of clairette blanche. Has kind of a tight temperature window where it really signs - too warm and you lose the acidity, too cold and you lose the aromatics - but in its sweet spot just below 50 F it’s perfect. Will be interesting to see if it puts on a little weight with another year or two in bottle (which could be cool). — 3 years ago

Denner Vineyards

Willow Creek District Grenache 2013

Also from Friday night. Great fruit on the nose, well balanced, with just enough tannic backbone to keep it interesting. Anthony Yount is making some really good wines at Denner (and if you haven't tried anything from his Kinero label, check it out!). — 8 years ago

Estate York Mountain Syrah Blend 2016

This is a terrific wine by Anthony Yount (Denner, plus his other label for his white wines, Kinero Cellars). A blend of syrah, graciano, and grenache, this wine is balanced, has sweet, integrated tannins (even at this young age), and intense berry flavors. Kept evolving in the glass, so I’m sure this will develop for quite a few more years. A terrific wine by a really talented winemaker! — 4 years ago

Alban Vineyards

Alban Estate Vineyard Viognier 2010

Wow. Anyone who says a viognier can't age is just WRONG. This is fantastic. Doesn't have the florals that you might expect for a viognier, but after 5 years this wine has evolved to something truly special. Jeff, you would love the petrol character of this wine. Complexity that it did not have upon release, this wine has layers and flavor profiles you would never expect from a viognier. Just goes to show that John Alban (along with Manfred Krankle, Cris Cherry, and Anthony Kinero) are the masters of white Rhones in the central coast. This is an absolute privledge to drink. — 8 years ago

Paix Sur Terre

Maison Mason Vineyard Ugni Blanc

The new vintage of Ryan Pease’s flagship white, this is off-scale good. Anthony Yount of Denner/Kinero/Royal Nonesuch told me he thinks Ryan’s ugni blanc is one of if not the best white in Paso…and I’m inclined to agree. Just fantastic! — 2 years ago

Quite the compliment. Can it be purchased online? I’ve enjoyed Kinero’s Grenache Blanc.

And what is the profile like? Big/rich, or more bright and higher in acidity? I normally love Rhône whites.

@Shay A, not sure if you can buy it direct absent being a club member, but the ugni blanc usually sells out from the winery pretty quickly. He also makes a terrific grenache blanc and picpoul blanc. All three are more Alsacian in style rather than Rhone.
