San Saba Chardonnay 2020

Bottle #2 from the LB chardo mystery case….one of those super heavy chard btls…much better than #1, a ton of flavor, heavy on citrus & honey, not offensive in any way, but at the same time a little too up front on the palate, not much restraint. Stands up well to strongly flavored dishes. NB: open btl does not age well! — 2 months ago

Bonny Doon Vineyard

Vin Gris De Cigare Grenache Rosé Blend 2019

Pre-Covid vintage; what have these grapes of wrath provided unto us mere mortals? Pink and gold, excellent clarity. Strawberries in nose and mouth, hints of peach, apple, pear and lemon flavor, mineral finish. Acidity is fine; this ain’t watery to my palate, just “lightly flavored”. If you want a fruit-forward red fruit dominant Rosé, this is not your wine. Its charm is it’s different. Good for sipping, but not a great food wine, I’d think — 3 years ago

Stella di Campalto Podere San Giuseppe

Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015

Consider it an intoxicated decision that I brought this bottle for a boys night out… Intoxicated on the high of Stella’s stellar Rosso a couple of nights ago that is. And given how displeased my wife was when informed that it was the only bottle we had, you could say this was a misjudged decision. It was great though - clearly cut from the same cloth as the Rosso but with extra depth, the Brunello soared with a bouquet of fresh flowers, strawberries, cherries, exotic spices, and hints of vanilla, followed by an incredible robust-yet-airy palate, with a mineral undertow and an elegant silky texture only found in the finest of Burgundy. But the question remains - was it great enough to warrant the wrath of a woman? Thankfully, I was never granted the “privilege” to find out. Call it husbandly smarts, but I was sensible enough to spare a couple of glasses for the wife that evening, and was quick to secure more bottles from the importer. — 3 years ago

I am excited for you discovery, i remember the feeling of when i first met her wine, i am all the way agree with your wife. You should look at some of my notes on her wines. I happen to have family from Tuscany even though born and bred in Rome and the sangio is indeed a very special grape.. i must admit quite hard to understand perhaps for the fact that there is so much bad sangio around, but after you taste Stella or Soldera or Salvioni or a old Poggio di Sotto(before 2007) you will understand what is all the fuss about, why brunello or some chianti or Nobile or even supertuscans are there in the gotha of the wine world.🙏
I apologise to invade your space😅
Cheers and enjoy🍷

@Ceccherini Cristiano Oh don’t apologise. Always appreciate a good convo on wines. Admittedly, I’ve never really geeked on Brunello, let alone sangio… though as you say, it isn’t really hard to see it’s greatness. Stella’s an exception of course, which I’ve been acquainted with for a couple of vintages now. Haha. Only thing I wonder is how they’d age - they’re so hard to keep my hands off, and there’s of course a much smaller library of older vintages compared to the region’s legacy producers. This release is the same… it is just wildly delicious to drink now! Having said all that, I’ve had the privilege of a couple of lovely run-ins with some great Brunello producers courtesy of friends. Haha. Soldera still eludes me though. Great tip on the Poggio!

Swan/828 Pinot Noir 2020

Very nice. Full-bodied, a little sweet at the tongue, but quickly cut with a bramble, dirt finish. Quite drinkable. — 6 months ago

San Saba Vineyard Syrah 2019

Big, rich, earthy with a very subtle fecal (Brett?) note in its aromas and on the palate, acidity seems a little low, alcohol (14.6%) shows in the medium-long finish, very good domestic Syrah. — 6 months ago
