Marvelously expressive #sancerre - apricot, quince, some green herbal aromas. I didn’t decant much so none of the advertised animal (barnyard) funk emerged but it’s a lovely textured #sauvignonblanc on the palate from the lees aging, mineral notes and candied ginger and honeyed elements on the finish. This is a rounder, less steely style if you like that sort of thing, which I do. — 9 days ago

Last bottle of this vintage. Heavenly. Rum raisin, cranberry, old strawberries, carob, fig, earth, tobacco leaf. Silky, delicate, and resolved. Loads of sediment, not out of life but on its decline. — 4 years ago

Wine flight at Sunday Vinyl. So great to see @Bobby Stuckey and the crew. And nothing like a Macintosh set up for sound. “It is so choice. If you ever have the means I highly recommend it.” — 4 years ago

Unfined, unfiltered Beaujolais. 100% Gamay. Not usually my style but I LOVED it. A perfect French bistro wine. 2019. — 5 years ago

#1000th Review# One of my all time favorite, this can easily crush many Amarone. Very young, no signs of tertiary notes at all. Sweet and warm spices, raisin, sweet cherries, mocha, dark chocolate and bright acidity. Best on day 2, very smooth texture. 15% abv and it’s well balanced. Wish I have more in the cellar! — 7 years ago

Went out on a limb and picked up a small bottle of sherry. Pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Sweet honey, raisin, a hint of vanilla, cedar and so smooth. — 4 years ago

With wild yeast fermentation (hence the name cuvée sauvage) and 16 months in French barrel, a rich and plush chard was to be expected. Ripe pear, lime, apple pie, chrysanthemum tea, and touch of roasted almond. Soft creamy palate with vivid acidity. Oak is very well integrated, and by no means it’s oaky. A bit heat at the end, but overall complex and well balanced.
As with the winery’s Napa cab, they don’t make this bottling anymore. A pity. — 6 years ago

Crushable, light, red fruit, smoky, nice structure. Paired it with roast cauliflower, bitter salad and burnt butter pasta. It was tight. — 6 years ago

9.3

Tar, raisin, soaked fig, cherry pit, wilted violet, hung meat, boudin noir, leather, cinnamon, cocoa powder, honey, truffle, scorched earth, roasted herbs, camphor, black tea. Wears the vintage well. More moderate frame (relatively speaking) showing some consistent grip throughout, surprised by the acid support this has, makes for a plausible argument about whether or not to continue aging. So tertiary and savory right now. — 7 years ago

Dark hue and based with Pinot Noir. Black cherry, blackberry, grapefruit citrus, pepper and tea makes a structured taste wanting to be elegant but too much sweetness. It’s a good Champagne but not great — 7 months ago
