Sandlands

Contra Costa County Carignane 2014

2014 drunk in 2024. Last bottle of this vintage. Still holds up and has more time in it. Lovely subtlety that does open up a bit with time.  — 3 months ago

Sandlands

Contra Costa County Red Table Wine 2018

Ruby red, moderate pigment extraction. Moderate tannins so plenty of mouthfeel initially, flavors of blueberry, raspberry, and blackberry, mostly. Needs time to open. Finish of tart raspberries. Plenty of age left in this one. — 6 months ago

In a great spot. Tannins resolving and fruit still strong. With Jo-Jo and family. — a month ago

Ridge Vineyards

Monte Bello Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1990

Perfectly ripe. This wine is peak. Mature fruit in balance with everything. This was ready to go from the pour. Well rounded and deep. Gorgeous color. Likely to start receding soon. So drink up! — 2 months ago

Honeydew melon and pineapple everywhere.. broad and expansive on the mid-palate. Moderate and honied sweetness is tucked in with complementary acidity. A beauty. — 2 months ago

Cloudy Bay

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Pale lemon. One the nose- apple, pear, peach, citrus, and a grassy/herbaceous note that I can’t put my finger on. Burst of grapefruit and pineapple with some minerality on the palate. Medium body. Nice, zesty acidity. Was a bit tight at first out of the bottle. Best to let it breathe a bit and losen up some. Fun and cheeky wine! — 7 months ago

Oyster Bay

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Pale gold in color; lemon, yellow apples, and peaches on the nose; high acidity; tastes like lemon zest; honeysuckle, and pear with a long finish. Nellie and I like it. Rayne did not. — 4 months ago
