Santorini Assyrtiko 2024

Tangy lil’ freak. Saline sorbet salad. White sand beach and fresh ocean air. Dense minerality. Stash some in the cellar.

Would be bad ass to be in Greece right now.

High Sands McLaren Vale Grenache 2016

A highly awarded Grenache from Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale, possibly the best terroir for the varietal in Australia. Its gnarly old bush vines were planted in 1946. It is dry farmed on a 1.7 hectare block sitting on the deepest sand with the lowest vigour and yield. Not as raspberry as many Australian Grenache - more balanced, restrained and excellent. Wine of the Year at the 2020 Halliday Wine Awards receiving 99 points. On the medium weight palate red berries and cherry finishing with ultra fine tannins. Jancis made the comment, “Might give the odd cult Spanish wine a run for its money too.” — a year ago

If you have an hour, James Lindner and Jonathan Bitter with Langmeil winery, both phenomenal story tellers, give you a beautiful perspective of the history of the wine industry in Barrosa including the booms and busts of the Australian wine industry. Here is the link: https://youtu.be/Rj1pxFdSCvM

Contra Costa County Red Table Wine 2022

This really does live into the moniker “Red Table Wine.” 100 year old vines. Pure sand vineyards. 75% Carignane 35% Mataro. No one varietal stands out. It’s just gutsy and deep and balanced and good. Little bit of everything: ripe fruit, earth, spice, acids, tannin. — a month ago
