Whispering Angel Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend

Minerality, crispness, mostly dry…a profile I love. I was pleasantly surprised by this find at Fred Meyer!

Whispering Dove

Oakville Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Deep dark plum in the glass. Basically impenetrable. A touch of bricking on the thin edges. On the nose, the fruit is barely clinging on but still present. Plums and blueberries are the dominant notes here. A heavy dose of toasted cedar and green bell peppers. There’s faint floral aromas of violets along with a shock of burnt tobacco.

This is about as Napa as Napa gets. I was quite worried about how this Cab would present but it’s still alive and kicking. The end may be nigh but not quite nigh enough. Pleasant acid and well integrated tannins. Big and rich as you would expect an Oakville Cab to be but still smooth after hours of decanting. Plenty of chocolate with a dash of vanilla. The fruit on the tongue is diminished and subtle but still showing pretty well. Cherry pie and blueberry cobbler. The finish is medium length with just a touch of soft spice. This was so much fun and a great experience. Definitely mature and knocking on the door of almost gone but still good, nonetheless.

Needs a good hour of decanting. Anderson Valley PN’s are not necessarily something I’d pour for a crowd of people. IMHO — 4 years ago

Domaines Sacha Lichine Rock Angel Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend

Apricots - some nice fruit flavor. But alcohol is out of balance. I prefer whispering angel of Declan’s roses. — 3 years ago

Deer Meadows Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Somewhat muted nose full of baking spices. Beautiful flavors of cranberry, ginger, milling spices, and forest floor that just goes on and on. — 4 years ago

Loveblock

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2019

A welcome familiar face from my bar in NYC that luckily Tim’s Wine in Orlando, Florida carries.

Mineral, mountainside zephyrs, glens of dewy grass, peach in the nose.

Welcome fine, subtle carbonation. Supple grass like a day spent on the great lawn in Central Park in better times.

Peaches and the citrus of a mandarin orange. Love the sweet, creamy mouthfeel.

An ode to beautiful rolling meadows.
