Colene Clemens Vineyards
Margo Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir 2019
Named after Colene’s great granddaughter, medium Ruby color with aromas of berry fruit and nutty spice aromas. On the palate flavors of ripe strawberry and cherry fruit with tea and licorice notes, lively acidity with herb spices. Long finish, fine tannins, ending with mineral tones. Nice, small production. — 8 months ago

Chateau St. Jean
Cinq Cépages Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
One of my favorite things to do when I go into K&L is to look through their library wines. From time to time, I look down and smile when I see 10-15 year old Cing Cepages. Especially, at the price they are re-sold. One the best values in Sonoma/Napa Cabernet. This 05 followed the 05 Alban Reva and it was drinking perfectly. Soft, luxurious and elegant in the mouth. Beautifully ripe; black plum, blackberries, plum, dark cherries & black raspberries. Well balanced fruit and earth, nice baking spices, excellent florals, round acidity and well polished finish. For those of you drinking your new big red wines too young, this is they way to go. Buy library wines like these to keep you from opening your very high priced red wines long before they're ready to drink. Good library wines will drink much better and cost you so much less than your new big red wine releases. For example, I find these older Cing Cepages for around $35. The lowest price for their 2013 vintage on Wine Searcher is $59. For less $$$, you're drinking beautifully elegant and READY wine. For every new producers new release you buy, buy some nice library wines. You'll reap the benefits of patience down the road.

Anapea Village – “Sandro Kissy” Blend 2022
Kvareli, Kakheti – Georgia 🇬🇪
Overview
A small-production qvevri wine by Anapea Village, the “Sandro Kissy” blend (sometimes referred to as “Kisi Blend”) brings together indigenous Georgian varieties for a distinctive amber expression. The 2020 vintage reflects both traditional Kakhetian winemaking and the estate’s artisanal approach. (Educational note: Anapea Village is known for reviving near-lost grapes and producing terroir-driven amber wines in micro-quantities.)
Aromas & Flavors
Ripe apricot, quince, and candied citrus peel upfront, layered with wild herbs, tea leaf, and subtle honey tones. Secondary earthy spice and a faint nuttiness add depth.
Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied, textured, and structured with firm tannins from skin contact. Acidity keeps the wine lifted, while the finish is savory, long, and complex.
Food Pairings
Excellent with walnut-based Georgian dishes (pkhali), roasted lamb or chicken, or Middle Eastern mezze. Also pairs well with hard cheeses.
Verdict
A soulful amber blend — structured, aromatic, and artisanal. The 2020 “Sandro Kissy” captures both heritage and experimentation, a hallmark of Anapea Village. 🍷
Did You Know?
Anapea Village ferments all its wines in buried qvevri and often experiments with micro-blends of indigenous grapes, making bottles like “Sandro Kissy” rare outside Georgia.
Hidden Gem 💎
A scarce artisanal blend from a boutique producer, the 2022 “Sandro Kissy” is a true discovery for anyone exploring Georgia’s indigenous wine revival.
