Thea's Selection Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2018

Fruit sources from 7 organic vineyards over 3 AVA’s, Ruby with aromas of red/black fruits and earthy spices. On the palate youthful flavors of cherry and black raspberry, cacao, tea and licorice notes with elegant spice. Fine rich tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice, cedar and earthy mineral notes. Good value! — 2 years ago

The Mason Edna Valley Mourvedre 2012

Awesome...and surprisingly approachable given that it’s in the early edge of the estimated driking window from a couple of different sources. 15min in that new decanter and it’s ready to go (althought it has years of evolution ahead of it). Just fantastic! — 4 years ago

Les Trois Sources Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2014

Shay A
9.3

Had this a few times, but I was finally able to sit down and analyze it over an evening. Their only cuvée produced in 2014.

Upfront, rollercoaster aromatics initially…rich, then mellowed out with an hour of air. After a few hours of air, a much more ripe CdP profile came out. Great bridge wine from Cali GSMs to bigger CdPs. Deep red in the glass with aromatics of fig, brambly red and black fruits. On the palate, big but not unbalanced. No trace of brett. Soft fig, muddled underripe black cherry, garrigue (smoked herbs); lengthy finish. Kiss of black pepper. Big Grenache vibe here. Lovely with air. Probably best in the near term based on the fruit forward structure.

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2020

One of the things I love in a Sauvignon blanc is when it has that green pepper thing going on and Marlborough is one of the most consistent sources for that so I always celebrate when I find a good one. And this is a good one. — 3 years ago

Maritana Vineyards

La Rivière Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2018

This is a delicious Chardonnay from Russian River Valley.

Medium plus in body and nicely balanced.

Dry on the palate with medium acidity.

Showing citrus, oak, light vanilla, spices, light earth, honey, yellow apples and pears.

Long finish with limes and grapefruits.

This 5 year old Chardonnay is drinking very nicely now. Showing nice balance with a soft mouthfeel.

Easy drinking and good right out of the bottle. Drinking at its peak.

Will continue to drink nicely in the next 3 years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine. Paired nicely with hard cheddar cheese.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$55.

Bellwether

Tamar Valley Chardonnay 2012

Very pale lemon in colour. Grapefruit notes on nose and palate. Mineral notes with a bit of funk. In the lean style still with brisk acidity. Bellwether is a Coonawarra winery but Sue Bell sources this Chardonnay from the cool climate Tamar River in Tasmania. When I did vintage in early April at Bellwether a refrigerated tanker of the latest vintage arrived from the Tamar River which we then transferred into a combination of new and one year old oak puncheons for maturation. An excellent wine for its genre. — 2 years ago

All the rage in Australia at the moment. Exceptional cool climate conditions for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in particular. Also Shiraz and rarely Cabernet. Try Domaine A for the latter.
