Sassafras Shade Vineyard

Château Smith Haut Lafitte

Le Petit Haut Lafitte Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

This needs more time to knit together, but does show promise, even if I feel a shade less impressed than the first time trying a couple of years back. It’s initially very herbaceous, with tomato leaf and green pepper, eventually giving way to a svelte personality with plush oak and sweet fruit. Not perfect now, but should be great in four years’ time. — 19 hours ago

Domaine Drouhin

Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2017

Monday night and winter is tearing through our area. I have tonight opened the 2017 Domaine Drouhin Dundee Hills Pinot Noir.

On the nose I am getting aromas of cherry, raspberry, cranberry, mushroom, spice and earth.

On the palate there is tart cherey, raspberry, cranberry, sassafras, spice and forest floor.

This wine is medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel, medium + acidity and medium + sandy tannins which leaves a long red & dark fruit finish. Having had the Joseph Drouhin the other night and the Domaine Drouhin tonight the Joseph Drouhin was just more elegant over all. I hope everyone's Valentine weekend was good. Have a great week, stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Moshin Vineyards

Lot 4 Selection Pinot Noir 2017

We had the 2017 Vintage on 11/11-12/23. This is a real good PN with tastes of black cherry, rhubarb, vanilla, cinnamon and baking spice. Well balanced and a smooth mouthfeel. Very good. Would buy more. Other similar wines had more sassafras and cola. Not so much here — a year ago

Ernst Loosen Pfalz Pinot Noir Rosé 2020

Purchased from Dan Murphy’s for $16 and a real crowd favourite. Very yummy and would definitely buy it again.

Pink diamond shade in the glass with notes of strawberry, grapefruit and some kind of herb, maybe coriander, on the nose. It’s super smooth and easy drinking with hints of watermelon 🍉 and nectarine 🍑 on the palate. Light and bright 🥰

All opinions are my own. Drink what you enjoy!

Moshin Vineyards

Estate Grown Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2018

We had the 2018 Vintage on 10/6-7/23. Black cherry and blackberry on the bouquet. Same flavors on the palate. The most striking feature is the velvety mouthfeel. Smooth texture, fruit forward, but still medium bodied. One of the better wines from Moshin. What this did not have is the sassafras and cola tastes. — a year ago

Domaine Amiot Guy et Fils

Vieilles Vignes Chassagne-Montrachet Chardonnay 2020

Softest golden straw with glints of green gold. Hint of gunpowder melts to reveal a pudding-soft, dried lychee which peels away to white roses, citrus pith and avocado cloud glistening with flintlock shavings in ginkgo shade. Extraordinary palate leans hard into a soft wall of olive, evaporating lemon oils, cottonseed oil, and lime nodules. Tangerine-pear impossibilities flower, riveting the tongue with pithy, zesty, and blossoming evocations. Ginger, tea and nano bits of Wrigley’s original juicy fruit.
