Etichetta Bianca (White Label) Carema Nebbiolo 2020

This is a beautifully elegant nebbiolo with generous aromatics, a silky smooth mouthfeel, and refined tannins providing just a touch of grip on the finish. Notes of cherry, mint, and white pepper come through on the nose, and on the palate additional flavors of cloves, orange zest, and violet add complexity. Finish Is moderately long, with lingering notes of spice, cherry, and bitter orange. This paired well with pan-seared duck breast and a port wine blueberry reduction sauce. Light/medium bodied with high acidity. — 4 days ago

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2011

Delicious and nicely balanced. Lite and more green or acidic. Uncle Dan liked it more than me. But still very good wine! Would definitely get again. — 4 months ago

Les Grands Vergers Arbois Trousseau 2023

Interesting palette not sure I ever tasted such an herbal wine before. Nose: cherry, orange? Taste: cherry, rhubarb, unidentified herb? Definitely a new try but very interesting and I did enjoy.  — 4 months ago

Carema Nebbiolo 2016

My ‘ house’ wine shared w friends & paired with baked Cod & Roquefort sauce, roasted vegetables, & barley. Pretty in color & on the palate: rusted rose hips, some distant forest floor. Medium plus acidity but enough to cut through the Roquefort sauce, & low enough tannins to not spar with the cod. — 5 years ago

Blend of 50% Malbec, 24% Merlot, 11% Syrah, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, deep Ruby color with aromas of ripe berry fruits floral and spicy herbs.

Nice value! — 2 days ago

Les Crêts Arbois Chardonnay 2022

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2022 “Les Crêts” pours a golden color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of slightly bruised golden apple, white flowers, pineapple, yogurt, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and a touch saline. A lovely, slightly oxidative approach to Chardonnay what worked well with duck confit. Drink now through 2037. — 2 months ago

Clos de la Truffière Les Chaumées Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2020

2020 vintage. Slightly underwhelming with a lack of personality on the finish. The meet and greet with the canapés and cocktails on the initial and mid-palates were definitely covered tho. 4.18.26. — 4 months ago

Le Vieux Donjon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2001

This CdP seems a bit more angry and wild from being opened, a touch more structure than the softer 2000 Bosquet des Papes (2001 was a more tannic vintage), solid balance, also mature, 13.5% ABV, longish finish. — 9 months ago
