Pale lemon in color. 


Medium bodied with medium plus acidity. 


Showing lemons, gooseberries, limes, light grapefruits, spices and light earth. 


Long finish with lemons and minerals. 


This is a delicious Sauvignon Blanc From Napa Valley. Well balanced and fruit forward. Crisp and refreshing. 

 

This 4 year old is good right out of the bottle. Not bitter not tart, just the way I like it. A great sipping wine.

Drinking beautifully now. Would be nice to revisit it in a few years, and see how it evolved. 


This beautiful wine was made by Heidi Barrett (Screaming Eagle). 

 

A blend of 96% Sauvignon Blanc and 4% Sémillon. Aged for 6 months in stainless steel vats and used French oak barrels.

One of my favorite Chablis producers. Classic Chablis: Lemon zest, oyster shell, hint of salinity with screaming acid. So good. — 2 years ago

Dam that’s pretty serious wine for $24. 13.5% Old vine Mencia. Loamy mineral. Blackberry. Raspberry. Chalky tannin. Best enjoyed while screaming obscenities at the dumbass POTUS on TV. Yes I’m drinking at 3pm on a Tuesday. — 4 years ago

A perfect wine? Perhaps. Not many Napa wines can have this kind of horsepower at 19 years old (I was always told Napa wines fall apart after 15 years). I’ve never had Screaming Eagle or Grace Family or any of the new “premier cru” wines. What I will say, though, is that I have a hard time imagining a wine being better than this. Plush, with a solid core. Very little fade. Let it breathe, but it was drinkable right out of the bottle, rich with refined tannins, so much fruit, so much pleasure. The oak is now seamless with the wine, not an addition, but a part of it. If you had told me this was a more recent vintage, I would have believed you. This was Cosentino’s top of the line and what a top it was. Age has allowed for more complexity (I did taste this when it was newly bottled) and development, but this is a young wine, still. Nothing out of place. It is one of the best wines I’ve ever tasted. Quintessential Napa, the best the valley has to offer. I forget the story of “the secret clone” but knowing what all the steps are in making great wine, having this clone was just one of the many right choices in making this. This one may outlive me. It is in its prime with no end in sight. Perfect? I’m not sure. But I’ve not had better. — 11 days ago

A new vintage, and after tasting every vintage since 2015, I am happy to report the consistency is amazing. Super solid value Chianti Classico. As always, screaming to be paired with food. — 7 months ago

Silky tannins, fresh raspberry and tart cherry, earthy mushroom, moss, wet soil, dried rose petals. DELICIOUS. Keeps the palate intrigued - I keep picking up the glass to see what I’ll taste next. A wonderful collab between Raj Parr and Screaming Eagle. — 3 years ago

Passionfruit, grapefruit, and white peaches on the nose; high acidity; tastes like lemon zest, honeydew, and saline with a long finish. This is a great example of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. I love it. — 2 months ago

1st wine of the new year and had to open something fun. Of course, enjoyed with its classic pairing of chicken wings 😉

1.5 hour decant(minimal fine/cloudy sediment). A stunning dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: brambly red berries, herbaceous, wet forest floor, graphite, floral. Taste: silky, soft, juicy, layered beautiful mouthfeel wine with red plum, dark chocolate, dried herbs, touch of spice and a cedar espresso captivating long finish. YUM! — 4 months ago

Got a screaming good deal on this wine ($11) so for the price I was very satisfied. Mouthfeel and fruit are there. Not super complex but a solid cab that can stand on it’s own. I would buy a lot more if I found it close to my price. If it were $40 I wouldn’t be as enthusiastic. — 3 years ago
