Ocean Reserve Blanc de Blancs 2020

Pale lemon in color with a golden hue.

Nose of limes, yeast, earth, citrus, brioche, minerals, spices, sea salt and light herbs.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and medium sized bubbles.

Dry on the palate with lemons, green apples, herbs, yeast, earth, spices, white pepper and brioche.

Long finish with limes and light herbs.

This is a very tasty sparkling wine from Russian River Valley. Feels very fresh, complex and entertaining. Nicely balanced and elegant.

This 6 year old Blanc de Blanc will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself or with food.

100% Chardonnay grapes were aged for 4 years on the lees.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

Barbaresco Nebbiolo

Floral notes on the nose — roses, hibiscus, plus mint, and the dry fragrance of sun-bleached wood. Strawberries on the front. Medium tannic structure. Black tea high notes with hint mint on the mid palate. Citrusy finish with long acidic afterburn. My description fails in that it makes it sound like a light and floral wine. But taken altogether, this is wine is rock solid, and it hasn’t even begun to develop. — 7 months ago

The nose bursts with ripe yellow peach, mandarin, and dried pineapple, layered with brioche and a hint of white flowers. The palate is plush yet electric, with creamy texture quickly cut by vibrant lemon zest and a light salinity. The finish is precise and long. — a month ago

Marcel Lapierre

Morgon Gamay 2023

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2023 (S) pours a deep ruby/purple with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe strawberry, Bing cherry, red and purple flowers, red rope licorice, rocky earth and cool spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. This vintage of Lapierre shows the warmth of the vintage and oozes generosity. In some ways, this reminds me of the 2015 vintage. Drink now through 2033+. — 5 months ago
