Nicholson Jones

St. Helena Sauvignon Blanc 2016

One of my favorite small production wine, 300 cases. Cal Nicholson spent his youth in So. CA & after a long marketing career he hung up his spurs to follow his 2 real interests in life – surfing & wine making. Jones is the maiden name of Cal’s wife Pam. A wonderful wine. Aromas of lemon citrus with herb, stone & tropical fruits. Palate, peach, Granny Smith apple & ripe melon flavors with lively citrus zest wrapped in lbalanced acidity. Lingering finish ending with mineral citrus finish. Consistent! Nice! — 7 years ago

Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2010

Superb wine! More powerful than the Gran Reserva ‘10. Great nose of red fruits, woodsmoke, spices, forestfloor, milkchocolate and coconut. Fully integrated fruit in the mouth with velvety tannins and al lot of depth and great length. Very juicy wine and a nice surprise! — 7 years ago

Nicole Marie Napa Valley Merlot Blend

A really nice red blend. A great "go to" especially as the weather warms. Nice for grilled meats outdoors or charcuterie. It's an unusual blend with real depth. — 4 months ago

Château Palmer

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1988

Ok it’s not the greatest year, but this wine is very nice. A real classic Margaux with stil some dark forest fruit, some pencil and a box filled with vanilla stuffed Havana’s. Not a full bodied wine but a real charmer. — 5 years ago

Colene Clemens Vineyards

Estate Dopp Creek Pinot Noir 2017

A real winner. Tried 3 bottles, all were consistently great! Located in the western end of Dopp Road where the Chehalem Mountains converge with Ribbon Ridge, medium Ruby with aromas of red fruits and enticing spice. On the palate ripe raspberry and wild cherry with pepper, baking spice and earthy notes. Young with integrated tannins, well defined, elegant with underlying richness, long finish ending with flinty notes. Nice value! Tried several bottles, now starting to develop more complex spice. — 6 years ago

Gosset

Excellence Brut Champagne Blend

I don’t often drink Aperol Spritzes (OK, that’s a blatant lie) but when I do I prefer Gosset. Actually, Bisol is killer for an Aperol Spritz. This wasn’t real creamy but it was very nice. Citrus, a little tart, lovely. — 7 years ago

Gilbert Picq et Ses Fils

Vosgros Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2015

Very nice magnum, slightly toasted and nutty notes but barely, rich and full palate, still good enough acidity, some salinity as well, nice balance, gorgeous. This domaine did real well with the 205’s.

Magnifique magnum, des notes un peu fumés et noisettés très légèrement, riche et gras avec une belle acidité qui donne de la structure et de l’équilibre. 90-91

Bodega Chacra

Lunita Patagonia Pinot Noir 2015

A real find from Argentina, fermented 50% in cement, aged for 12 months in used French oak. Light red with purple edges, aromas of fresh red berry fruits and notes of floral spice. On the palate cherry with a touch of raspberry flavors adding in fresh spices, soft integrated tannins giving a great balance. Lingering finish ending with fruit and mineral character. Nice delicate Pinot! — 7 years ago
