Nose - gardenia, chamomile, ocean and clay pot. Appearance - Super duper clean. Beautiful light straw color. Main tasting notes - tart lemon all day with a little bit of grapefruit. Pretty acidic with a longer acid finish but the acid works well with the lemon flavor. Really nice with a spicy summer chicken dish. Not always a fan of acidic whites but this hits the spot. — 3 months ago

Chardonnay from 40 years old vines in the Trout Gulch vineyard, a very cool site on sandy loam in Aptos, about 4 miles from the Ocean in Sabra Cruz County. Pure nose with aromas of citrus, salt, crushed stone and white fruit. Medium-bodied, bright, lively with citrus flavors. Good acidity and noticeable salinity on the palate — 3 years ago

Atlantic Ocean, lite...Notes tomorrow?

192H Update:
Nose has fully saturated oak plank, moist almonds, incredible sweet & saline notes, fermenting green apples, white chocolate bar, white candle wax and fresh yellow apple slice. Palate has almond broth (does that exist?), dried yellow apple, chamomile tea, moist bread, faint green olive (?) with mild saline finish, faint acidity. Damn I do not drink enough Manzanilla! — 3 years ago

Nose shows greenness/stems, smoke, strawberries. Lightly crunchy, medium+ acid; some ocean spray cranberry juice here. Texture is where this shines with a rich creaminess that ends with medium+ acid. Great food wine. — 3 years ago

Older bottles of Chianti are some of the wine world’s unknown treasures. Everyone is happy to age Brunello but you don’t see many people putting away Chianti in the cellar. And they’re missing out. If you can find old bottles you can sometimes get them for a song, as I did a bunch of these from @garagiste_wine. You want to talk about punching above your weight?!? These suckers are classy AF. Dark fruit with leather, a touch of graphite and earth. Great acidity still, decant and watch them shine. 1996 Terreno “Riserva” Chianti Classico, Tuscany, Italy. ⁣ — 3 years ago

Blend of Listan Negro and Negramoll, with about 10% of Listan Blanco (white variety) from the stunning Margalagua parcel, perched above the Atlantic Ocean in the area of Taganana, in northeastern Tenerife. Fermented in open top vats and aged in neutral oak for a year. Delicate, ethereal. Smoke and citrus notes. Some spices. Volcanic funk. Light on the palate. Really elegant — 3 years ago
