San Diego County Riesling 2023

I didn’t know what to expect from a San Diego County Riesling but this was very good. Well balanced with notes of melon and lemon. — 18 days ago

Talley Vineyards

Rosemary's Vineyard Chardonnay 2018

Beautifully clear gold color. On the nose delightful lemon aromas. Early on thought acidity was low but as it aired lovely acidity developed as did the grape flavors. Very fine wine from south of San Francisco. I have to agree Rosemary’s challenges the California Chardonnay top tier. A very delightful and delicious wine. — 3 years ago

Temecula Valley Vermentino 2017

Made from grapes grown by a grower “down the road.” There's a nice tropical nose with fabulous salinity, and similar notes for the palate. Great acidity. It should have been a great pair with the San Diego halibut, but oddly, it was not. It wasn't a bad match, though. — 6 years ago

Estate Romana Valley Cabernet Franc 2015

It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a delicious Cabernet Franc.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish /brick rim. Wonderful color.

Nice nose of blueberries, black currants, vanilla, cedar, bell pepper, spices, tobacco, coffee, chocolates, vegetables, herbs and black pepper.

Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, cedar, vanilla, leather, earth, spices, vegetables, bell pepper, licorice, dark chocolates, black coffee, light celery and peppercorn.

Long tangy finish with soft tannins and raspberries.

This is a very tasty Cabernet Franc from San Diego County. What a great surprise. Showing nice complexity and mouthfeel with nice balance.

Tasty and enjoyable by itself as a sipping wine.

Needs 90 minutes to open up properly and remove the acidity.

I paired it with cheeses and crackers.

Aged in French oak barrels for 27 months. A small production of only 72 cases.

Tasty and delicious.

13.4% alcohol by volume. Yay. Nice to see that from California.

92 points.

$44.
