California Pinot Noir 2022

Pale ruby in color; cherries, raspberries, and baking spices on the nose; medium plus acidity; low tannins; tastes like strawberries, black cherries, crushed gravel, and a hint of vanilla with a long finish. Nellie says it's ok. I like it. Better after decanting for 30 minutes. Tastes a little sweet. I think there's some residual sugar, but it may just be the fruit flavors. It's definitely a fruit bomb. — a month ago

L'Amateur Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Chardonnay

A medium lemon color with energetic effervescence. Tiny, fast paced bubbles. Honey and yeast aromas immediately upon opening but it gets so much better from there. Big citrus notes of lemon zest and melon. Chalk, flowers, and moist earth.

What a weird, singular, and gorgeous champagne. Straight out of Trépail with a wine a blanc de blancs that displays purity, focus, and the terroir. Zero dosage and remarkable acidity. An intense champagne on day one but becomes more approachable the next day.

The palate is emotional and deep with a plethora of fruits. Hazelnuts, brioche, and caramel. Green apples and peaches for days. A dazzlingly array of notes here over two days. Ethereal and wonderful.

Earthquake Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Dark ruby color. Aromas of dark berries and plums, with additional hints of purple flowers and cocoa. Bold flavors of blackberry, boysenberry, black plum, dark chocolate, strong coffee and sweet spices. Long finish and full bodied. Light on the acidity and very silky tannins. Rich and concentrated. Thanking Weston and Beckki for opening this bottle. — a month ago
