Seek And Escape

Giornata

Giornata Nebbiolo 2020

Wow! This is amazing. Great nose of dried flowers, red fruit, dried fruit, leather. Palate is more of the same. Prunes, flower, cherries, leather. Such a long finish. Maybe best CA Nebbiolo. Will 100 percent seek out more. — 4 months ago

Silver Oak

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

So nice we did this again. Best wine available in Juneau. Cheers @Matt Duncan AK is my escape from the world, my favorite place to visit - and though good wine can be tough to find sometimes, there are a few places... — 4 years ago

Padelletti

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2012

Popped and poured. Bright ruby in the glass. Fresh cherries, dried herbs and leather on the nose. Bright cherries, black tea and leather on the palate. Light and lean but impeccably polished. Definitely more on the elegant side of BdM. My first Padelletti and I’m sufficiently intrigued to seek out more. — 5 years ago

Château Lascombes

Margaux Merlot Blend 2004

Not flawed but just not great. Sometimes the vintage reports are correct. 2004 is not one to seek out. It’s oddly somewhat similar to how they are talking about 2021 Bordeaux, another rough vintage. — 9 months ago

Domaine Servin

Les Preuses Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2016

Rich but mineral-driven, with a nose haunted by an old Yquem. Incredibly expressive and multidimensional, with light tropical fruit, shellfish and neat salinity. Seek this out. — 4 years ago

Château Bel Air-Marquis d'Aligre

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1995

Cassis, graphite, firm tannin, not at all polished (I believe this saw no new wood at all), but still elegant. I need to seek more of this out 😍 — 5 years ago

Behrens & Hitchcock

Saint Fumee Napa Valley Syrah Blend 2016

AEL
9.0

So this is basically impossible to dislike. The young woman on the label has it right: grill up a steak and dig in. Those seeking finesse and subtlety, seek elsewhere - that's not what this is for. A juicy, dense, spicy, over-extracted wine (15.6% ABV). Go big or go home. — 3 years ago

Cantina Luigi Pira

Serralunga Barolo Nebbiolo 2015

2020 summer. I remember the few Luigi Pira wines I had in the past as being done but not the the type of thing to seek out. However, this basic bottling is great in 2015 - it has all the classic elements for a very fair price — 4 years ago
