Blueprint Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Ron R
9.3

Happy 4th peeps!
This is a classic proposition for sauv blanc, but in a more restrained style. The nose is reductive; simple, which is counter-balanced by the layered and complex palate. While subtle, it opens up on the mid-palate displaying white peach and nectarines, bolstered by good minerality and delicate sweetness. Bright acidity will let this stand still for a few more years, but I would consume this vintage now. Wifey rating, and I agree.

Hey @P A. We had a great time - thanks. Trained twice during the day, and then relaxed together. Regretfully, two bottles of wine were despatched down the sink, but we recovered. Enjoy your weekend 🙂

Rhys Vineyards

San Mateo County Pinot Noir 2013

When I come across Kevin Harvey's Rhys Vineyards I always think about this excerpt from a piece Jon Bonne wrote for the San Francisco Chronicle back in 2011: "The depleted soils of Harvey’s Skyline vineyard, planted at the winery, are so densely planted and demandingly farmed, at about 7,000 vines per acre, that its 14,000 vines yielded just 660 bottles of wine in 2009. Which explains a revealing harvest moment that stuck in Harvey’s head: “One guy comes out of the vineyard and says, ‘Why do you hate money?'”"

This is strawberry at its perfect ripeness. Exotic, perfumed, pure, and wild. A Pinot Noir like this probably makes Cali Pinot producers wish they were in Burgundy and Burgundy producers awkwardly self-conscious. It's cerebral hedonism.

One of my favs. Someone had decent taste

Aldi

Adven Calendar American Pilsner

Generic Wisconsin American Pilsner; Day 1 Advent calendar from Aldi. Golden grain colored with snowy cap of fluffyness. Clean lemon dough and dinner roll notes, grapefruit zest in minutiae. Acorn meat and day lily with a glass of iced tea and lemon garnish. Desert skyline lacing with mesas, and sparse scrub dotting. Creamy mouthfeel suggests quality Pilsner from a good family. Tasty and consistent throughout, breads with a citrus zip, but very satisfying in all respects. Great style to kick off the holidays.

Maker Clarksburg Chenin Blanc 2018

The fact that Clarksburg Chenin Blanc is now available in a gorgeous millennial chic ombré can (featuring the skyline of sac) brings me great joy. Made by Colleen Sullivan, the young queen of Clarksburg Chenin Blanc. Honeycomb, beeswax, preserved lemon. More expressive after it warms up a bit (vs refrigerator temp). — 6 years ago

The Monster Zinfandel 2009

Smells like fresh berry jams. This 2009 Zin is full-bodied, sweet, spicy, and robust (16.5% ABV). It has a long finish that will stay with you and keep you coming back for more sips.

Call me crazy, but I paired this with Skyline Chili and it was awesome 🍝

Ridge Vineyards

Monte Bello Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2003

I believe Ridge is the greatest winery in America. My long-form case is at leduwines.com/blogs/connor/ridge 🇺🇸🍷

Full disclosure: they’re my home team! I’ve been hiking on Monte Bello ridge since I was a child, and took every opportunity I could do drive Skyline Boulevard while living in the Bay. It’s no wonder to me that these vines are so happy.

With the retirement of the great Paul Draper in 2016, three men - Eric Baugher, John Olney, and David Gates - have taken up stewardship of the legendary estate. All three have been with Ridge at least twenty years.

There is no doubt: the principles instilled by David Bennion and perfected by Paul Draper are alive and well. If anything, Ridge is entering yet another golden era, and will continue leading American wine toward its most authentic self.

Rhys Vineyards

Horseshoe Vineyard Pinot Noir 2007

Fabulous fruit acid balance. Drinking well now. Reminiscent of a well structured Cote de Nuit with a little more fruit. One of the better California style Pinots I have had in a while. Bottom line: Rhys Horeshoe, Skyline and Alpine all need 10 years. — 8 years ago

Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin

Brut Rosé Champagne Blend

The Rosé Garden at the heavily branded polo match framed by the New York skyline had, appropriately, what felt like infinite amounts of Rosé. More red berries and depth than the Yellow Label, I was happy drinking this through each of the chukkas and beyond. — 9 years ago
