New Certan

Kim Crawford

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Light golden color. Aromas of tropical, citrus and stone fruits, fresh herbs and freshly cut grass. Flavors of grapefruit, passion fruit, green apple and melon and nectarines with a slight note of flint/crushed stones. Medium finish and vibrant acidity. Just a hint of RS. Medium-bodied and crisp. Crunchy texture. Crowd pleasing and reliable but not spectacular. Thanks for sharing, Ron B! — 17 days ago

Estate Grown Finger Lakes Dry Riesling 2024

Excellent dry Riesling, vibrant apricot and orchard fruit accents and a silky, mineral-driven mouthfeel that paired well with an oily salmon dish at Hope Club American Wine dinner. — 2 months ago

Vieux Château Certan

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

Decanted and let sit for two hours, with just a quick taste at pop and pour. Delicious.

I’ve been staring at these bottles for quite some time, and while it’s still very early, I feel like I got a pretty good preview of what this has in store. The youth is compressing the fruit on the nose, allowing the oak, earth, flint, spice, and dried flowers to take center stage.

There’s a touch of iodine on the initial palate, followed by increasingly complex fruit. Blue, black, and red fruits all emerged more and more as the night progressed, but they were never really at the fore. Everything feels beautifully integrated, layered, and just a little restrained right now.

Lovely wine, but I’m putting a sticky note on the remaining bottles: do not touch for five years.

For me, one of the very best Pomerol’s.

@Somm David T I need to find some ready to drink vintages as I’m anxious for the experience and waiting for my ‘18s and ‘22s would take way too long. Any suggestions on vintage and where I should be shopping for them?

Not sure which state you live in for shipping. Winebid ships everywhere. Thats a start. K&L’s auction site. They added shipping lanes with the opening of a NY shop. Id start there. If you let me know which state you ship too, I might have other suggestions.

Burn Cottage

Central Otago Pinot Noir 2022

Home vineyard bottling. Dark and brooding on the nose. Classic Central. Dark fruit, savoury spice, earth. The palate has good weight and concentration of dark slightly sour cherry, and wood spice. Enough acid to provide the structure needed to hold the power together — 3 months ago

Clonakilla

Canberra District Shiraz Viognier 2015

No note on Delectable since May 2017 - 473 weeks ago. Smoked meat, Asian spices - an intoxicating nose. On the medium bodied palate - sweet red fruits with spices. Tim Kirk, the owner and winemaker said at the time it was the best Shiraz Viognier he had ever made for what is considered the benchmark for this blend in Australia. 98 points from HH and 18.5 points+ from Jancis. Very detailed as you would expect from Tim Kirk. — 4 months ago

Maté's Vineyard Chardonnay 2022

Lemon curd, white peach, flint and wet cement with some kind of savory thing going on with the finish. This is really light and acidic but well made and complex. — 2 days ago

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025

This is a secret weapon for parties. Consistently good and punches way above its weight class. The nose is saline (sweat) and grassy. Flavors of lemon, grapefruit, peach. Lower acidity, which makes it a party favor. My friends say, "This isn't too dry..." On sale for $10, but i would splurge and pay $12 😛
Listening to a song I'm working on. Meh.
