Question: was it this or that next wine? Who cares…a Museum Reserva! Had at a Spanish restaurant in Santa Fe…very good wine with positive surprises of full flavor big dark berries and smooth palate, controlled tannins, tasty finish. — 3 years ago

Central Coast Viognier Blend

9.0

Another @Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher Bum pick. Scrumptious. So damn scrumptious. A bit fleshy but it almost echoes the whisky I tried last night—a viognier-based blend it is richhhhhh. But was picked early enough that there is a tasty acid level and it is all tangerines and honeysuckle salad with an apple cider vinegar dressing. Refreshing and richhhhhh. Lushness delivered on a saber. I usually despise California viognier but I like this blend. Direly need to try their Rhône variety rosé and red. Santa Barbera Rhône has been my bag recently and not just cause TOP wine’s Elena is on my podcast soon bwahaha — 6 years ago

Santa Cruz de Artazu Garnacha 2019

9.1

@Delectable Wine this is the Garnacha Blanca from Artazu

Enticing and fresh nose with ripe pear & reine claude plum, rye toast, salty stones. There’s a fresh purity here but also an interesting edge. Very enticing!
Medium weight on the palate but also very juicy & fresh. Love the purity of fruit (ripe reine claude & mirabelle plums) paired with the slightly creamy mouthfeel and just a hint of tannins. Finish is salty, mineral, edgy.
Much more precise & more structured vs a Languedoc Grenache Blanc. So nice!
This is truly a lovely wine! — 5 months ago

Wow. Plum and blackberry notes with a hint of leather and tobacco on the nose. Rich but no overpowering; wonderful companion to a Santa Maria tri-tip. — 4 years ago
