Fannuchi-Wood Road Vineyard Trousseau Gris 2023

1L growler refills off the tap FTW. A bit longer on the skins in ‘23. This is my favorite vintage of this wine yet, didn’t love previous vintages. This feels closer to the Jolie-Laide version. That’s a good thing. — 10 days ago

Moss Wood Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

So much cassis, black currant and rich sweetness. Very atypical for a Margaret River Cabernet - this is more Barossa or McLaren Vale. Less herbaceous than is usual for Margaret River in this warm vintage. A rich medium to full bodied palate with excellent concentration and smooth persistent tannins. My 2nd of 6 and a vintage that will last well beyond 2025 as one well known expert predicted. Should have the next bottle in 2 to 3 years time. 91% Cabernet Sauvignon; 4% Petit Verdot; 4% Cabernet Franc; 1% Merlot. — 2 months ago

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

2010 vintage. Classic Pauillac with ripe cassis, lead pencil, and cedar wood. Still very young, but a class act. Concentrated, profound, and impeccably balanced, with layers of black fruit, a serious structure of haute couture tannins and balancing acidity. Long, mineral finish. Impressive, but nowhere near its peak. — 2 months ago

Frank Wood Ranch Oakville Chardonnay 2022

Ming L
9.3

Aromatic nose of peach, honeydew, orange blossom, hint of vanilla. Beautiful round acidity. Good weight and texture yet ethereal. Lingering salinity on the palate that I rarely found in Napa chard.
Not for the long haul, but so charming and delicious.

Domaine Auguste Clape

Cornas Syrah 2020

Delectable Wine
9.6

The full-bodied 2020 Cornas is a wild thing. Concentrated and expressive, it combines all the elements that Clape-enthusiasts rave about: a juicy core of fruit, ferrous gradations, crushed flowers, meaty undertones, rustic funkiness and an herbal edge. Remarkably round tannins lend solid structure to the delicious 2020, an instant classic that shows excellent persistence on the savory finish. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, March 2024)

The McRae Wood Clare Valley Shiraz

Absolutely smashing. Great balance and covertly boozy. Toffee-ish ballast resolves into bright red fruits. So drink-able — 14 days ago
