La Tour Saint-Martin Morogues Menetou-Salon Sauvignon Blanc 2020

More minerally, and a bit sweet, than is typical for a Sauvignon Blanc, this paired well with fish and with pasta and cream sauce. — 10 months ago

Rich, buttery nose. minerals, high end peanut butter and deep sea air. Wood shavings. Palate is rich and velvety with top top texture. Such great acidity and cut and a wonderful, very integrated finish. Amazing sap and purity. As this airs it gets so elegant and even more integrated. — 4 months ago

Old Vines Saint Georges Zinfandel 2019

Such a unique take on Zinfandel. Lower alcohol and much more red-fruited than is typical, the nose has great purity of cherry and raspberry compote, crushed rock, and a dusting of baking spice. In the mouth it’s got great flavor concentration in an aerodynamically lean package. Intense red fruit and lots of crushed rock. Great acids. A perfect summer Zin. This winery never disappoints, in my experience. — 9 months ago

9.5

One cannot ever drink enough elite St. Pourcain. A dream of a nose with gorgeous aromas of butter, minerals. baked apple, iodine and wet earth. Just stunning and evocative. Layered and so complex. Wow. What a palate. Salty, rich, but fresh and textured. Long and rich but so much energy. Coats the backend so nicely and such pure sappiness. Just a stunner. Sadly no made in 2021. Amazing length and purity. Masterful balance. A genius wine. Is this a 9.6? Maybe. Let’s see how it develops. — a year ago
