Sous La Mer

Mer Soleil

Reserve Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay 2022

Taking its name from the sea and sun – the two forces of nature that shape its character. Pale lemon, aromas of Stone and tropical fruits, with floral and sweet spice notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peach & apricot with lemon zest and toasty vanilla notes. Smooth long finish, well balanced, nice acidity, ending with fruit, vanilla oak and mineral character. Sip’s well now. Pair this with some fresh tuna! — 3 days ago

So good. 22’s rounding into the form I had from barrel in June 23. Unreal cherry clarity on the nose and super floral. Pungent. Palate is so good. Opulent sweet fruit but all so chiseled. Juicy and just gorgeous clarity of fruit here. Sick inner mouth aromas. Such finesse and softness but structured softness. Unreal velvet texture. Let’s see what air does. Supple and sweeter with air. — 12 days ago

LOVE when this shitty app eats an almost 500 word tasting note. I love it. Anyway. This nose is inane. Meyer lemon that is pure, clean and crystallized in a way that is just next level. It’s so focused and pointed. There is a lemon sweetness on this nose that is just super elite. The background is all minerals but this nose floats. There’s an almost Mosel Rieslingesque affectation here. Like Weiser-Kunstler. The wet earth, which this cuvée is known for needs some hours to come out but when it does, and it will, the nose will go from 9.7 to 9.9, just like 21 and 22. The powdered minerals really is channeling dry Mosel or even Nahe. That palate is just insane. Unreal orb like insanity and then detonates with the lemony intensity of a thousand mini perfect Meyer lemons all exploding at once. It’s so intense. Like stop you in your tracks. The lemon sweetness is just incredible. It’s so pure. Like Icelandic glacial water runoff pure. The opulence balanced by the electric acidity makes this conscious on your palate. Crazy inner mouth aromas. Elegance is top and the finish is long and winding. Wow the lemony intensity with flesh, pith and sweetness is just insane. This is genius wine. 9.7 for now but air will tell the story. The sap and extract on the finish is just insane. After 24 hours this was crazy. It got richer, but kept that acid line firm and had the most insane texture. — 24 days ago

For real. Years ago, I started writing in my Notes app and simply copy and paste because I lost so many drafts in the blink of an eye.
