Château Clerc Milon
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2016
Bewitching #bordeaux - second wine of 5th Growth Château Clerc Milon. After decanting, distinctive and pronounced #paulliac graphite, dusty cassis nose. Lovely brightness on palate, genteel tannins, and a long finish with that pencil lead foundation throughout. That acid-leaning balance makes it a meal-friendly wine and not just the usual suspects - it worked well for a my mild spice fish burrito with poblano peppers. — 13 days ago

Hyland Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022
This really does have Chambolle character. See Lyle’s notes. Light in color, bright, some tea notes but for the most part beautiful fruit, touch cherry, raspberry, citrus… and very soft tannins - days later under my Argon line- faint prune plum. Wouldn’t age this - it is perfect now! — 3 months ago

Nose: peach apple. Lovely as it opens. White flowers an hour in.
Palate: silky. Elegant. Very bright. Green apple. No oak. Very good deliciousness. Minerals as it opens.
Great finish. Long. Bright.
Burgundian in approach but alt burgundy in flavor profile. A wonderful addition to the cellar. — 11 days ago
