Skerk

Venezia Giulia Vitovska 2019

Incredible food wine — a bright, beautiful orange wine with just the right amount of grip. Apricot, orange marmalade, seashell, and an elusive floral perfume.

With all the hype around skin contact wines (and the Friulan mastery of the style) I’m amazed that these Skerk wines aren’t more of a thing.

Kuleto Estate

Native Son Napa Valley Red Blend 2019

Another very good red blend, which is soft. Cherries and dark chocolate are our notes. Paired well with steak salad — 8 months ago

La Follette

Sun Chase Vineyard Chardonnay 2017

Oof that’s good. All nectarine and creme fraiche. Impeccable balance. No butter or wonky barrel issues. For my taste, at this price, up there with the best of California chardonnay. Petaluma Gap. $50 at the winery but you can find it a bit cheaper. Winery Technical Notes: 76 clone, Whole-cluster pressing, 100% native yeast primary fermentation, 100% wild malolactic fermentation, 11 months in low toast, air-dry 3-year-old French oak, 25% new — 4 years ago

This was drinking perfectly! Dark red color with minimal bricking. Could be mistaken for a Bordeaux as this is an elegant Napa Syrah. Meaty, rustic, and a touch of floral. Would love to buy more. — 3 months ago
