The Wine Selection At Asda

Robert Mondavi Winery

Private Selection Aged in Bourbon Barrels Monterey County Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Really good cab sav someone gave us for engagement, not bitter at all but still rich (in a good way) — 25 days ago

Domaine & Selection

Meursault Chardonnay 2006

Last bottle of the trip, taken to Napua at the Mauna Lani. Canary gold color, bright and cheery in the glass. Notes of citrus and kiwi, tropical fruit, wet stones, tan spice, vanilla and white acacia flowers. Rich and glycerol in the mouth, matched with serious acidity. Paired perfectly with a nice Onaga fresh catch, which turned out to be the best prepared fish dish of the trip. Young but drinking well. Aloha! — 4 years ago

Alfio Moriconi Selection Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc

Thankfully it doesn’t remind me of Sauvignon Blanc at all. Ryan thinks it’s too sweet — 4 years ago

Soalheiro

Granit Mineral Selection Monção e Melgaço Alvarinho 2019

This is an extraordinary wine from the prestigious Monção e Melgaço sub-region of Vinho Verde. Not at all hyperbole to say that this wine shows like a 1er cru Chablis—wow. I’m laying down a case for ten years (very age worthy) — 6 years ago

Brut Selection Champagne

My first time with this producer. Very enjoyable and classic. Lemon, limestone, chalk, caramel dipped underripe Granny Smith apple, and a fruit taste I commonly get with Pinot meunier. Not sure if it’s included, but I’d venture to say it has a fair bit. On the lighter side with a fresh bite at the end. — 6 years ago

Crown Point

Estate Selection Red Blend 2014

Shay A
9.2

Earlier this week, a rep for Crown Point wines hosted a tasting to show off a few of their newer releases. New to me, they are out of Santa Barbara and have the duo of Adam Henkel (former assistant winemaker at Harlan for 8yrs) and Philippe Melka (who came on starting with the ‘15 vintage) making the wines.


This wine is their Estate Selection, which is 73% cab, 16% malbec and 11% merlot. I believe this was the first vintage for this wine. It sports a very soft profile and is made in a riper style. Aromatically it smells of baked boysenberry, fig and mixed berry pie with milk chocolate chips. The ABV is around 15.2% and it shows here. Extracted on the palate with chocolate covered dark fruits, baking spices, nutmeg and Andes mint.
