Straight forward easy drinking cold weather white. Citrus zip with a clean finish. Great with a simple meal of chicken, lemon, and parm. Not too much acid. Cheap and tasty. — 6 years ago

Nice decently priced Napa Cab. Part of the Stormy Weather vineyard, this was a solid Cab, with a decent finish. — 6 years ago

Probably my last bottle of Rose this year before the weather turns cold, and it’s a good one. Very aromatic with perfume, strawberry, tangerine, grapefruit, watermelon, sea breeze, and hint of white flower. Soft and smooth on the palate with medium high acidity and a bit saltiness, yet the finish is fresh and crisp. So nice!

40% Grenache, 30% Carignan, 25% Mourvèdre & 5% Cinsault.

Juicy, fresh red berries, a lovely acid and a generous touch of funk and a mouthwatering finish that leave you wanting more. Good in any weather but if it’s over 80, this is what you want to drink. Definitely a little sweet but not cloying. — 8 years ago

I wasn’t expecting much, but this was surprisingly good. Petrol on the nose, but well-balanced acidity. With soy sauce burgers, sushi rice, and sautéed honey-orange bok choy. Channeling sunny beach weather on a rainy evening. — 6 years ago

All 5 BDX Varietals led by CS and Merlot in a typical bombastic Paso style. The fruit is amped up, acid is fairly low and tannins are medium. I do appreciate that in a hot weather wine they kept the alcohol fairly in check at 14.4% — 7 years ago

Strawberry jam wine. Drank this during a rare heat spell. Light enough for the warm weather, and fruitiness was very refreshing. Once paired with food, the fruitiness was a bit excessive. — 9 years ago

Newish vintage, 600 cases produced. 94/6 blend of Grenache Blanc and Roussanne from three vineyards: Boushey (81% GB), Weather Eye (13% GB), Olsen (6% R). Pale yellow white, excellent clarity. Floral, vanilla and mild aldehydic barnyard aromas. Guava, lactic flavors, tropical fruit finish (banana then coconut? But this ain’t no Piña colada). Lingering cherry and heavy (skin and seed) tannic aftertaste . This is either serious experimental winemaking, or ultra craft-focused ‘blanc de noir’, or is this just their iteration of a pale “orange” wine? Massive tannins for a “white” wine. Not a wine for the faint of heart. Dry, just enough acidity, fruity but still pondering this one... The trop fruit flavors backed off, with cherry and other red fruit and Grenache character flavors emerging after 30-60 minutes. Tannins also softened somewhat, with patience — 6 years ago

2007 a sub par year with cool wet weather then dry late.

A 1 hour decant (little cloudy sediment). A inspiring dark garnet color with some nice bricking on the sides for this 2nd growth. On the nose: green veggie, black olive, plum, cassis, and just a little of that Margaux perfume. Taste: A medium body, soft wine with chocolate, little black cherry, leather....a smokey tobacco slightly astringent medium finish. Low acidity, and any elegance and finesse is buried and not going to rise like a zombie from the grave...drink em if you got em. — 6 years ago

My favorite go-to Sav Blanc, especially when the weather turns warm in Phoenix. Green apple, pear and citrus notes (lime?) followed by a hint of herbs in the finish. Pairs well with goat cheese. I like this wine with a cheese board. — 8 years ago

It’s rosé season in spirit in Chicago. This is a great one. Nice balance of the acid you expect with lush fruit off the old Mourvèdre vines. Wish I had more bottles for actual warm weather. — 8 years ago

Bring on the warm weather! Bright acidity dancing on the palate. Super dry finish. Clean ocean breeze nose. Unripened red berry fruit. Ever so slightly tart. — 8 years ago
