D.F.B. Dundee Hills Melon de Bourgogne 2015

Retasting five months later. Melon and citrus notes in nose initially. Similar flavors plus orchard fruit and apricot in mouth, lemony finish. Creamy, nuanced, lovely flavor profile, balanced acidity. A tad more skin astringency intensity than I’d like at first, but much to admire here as the wine integrates over time. Also, this is a much better wine than communicated by its labeling, IMHO. — 7 years ago

Lots of red fruit — raspberry, dark cherry — plus blackberry underneath. Vanilla and cola notes, along with some forest floor earthiness. Easy to drink 7 years in. More fruit forward than other vintages I’ve had. Quite good. — 3 years ago

Rancho la Viña Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023

2023 vintage. Medium body. Always nice. Possibly Matt's best wine year in, year out. This could use another year to knit. Hoping to taste again down the road. Definitely believe in his abilities and the authenticity of this vineyard. 3.23.26. — 3 months ago

Rancho Chimiles Vineyard Valdiguié

Beautiful garnet color with flashes of magenta. Ripe fruit on the nose with a hint of radish. Medium bodied, a little puckery and not overly sweet. Carbonic glou glou, as a reviewer said before. — 7 years ago

Wilson Foreigner

Rancho Chimiles Valdiguié 2015

While the flavor profile isn’t the same, this wine’s spirit reminds of Beaujolais! Blueberry, raspberry, mint, white pepper. Tannins announce their present but are neatly integrated. — 8 years ago
