'La Carrière' Knights Valley Chardonnay 2023

Medium lemon yellow . Quite open and rich on the nose , with buttered popcorn , toasty oak , lemon confit , honeysuckle and touch of apricot . On the palate this is also quite round but has good balancing acidity to counter the rich profile , with apricot , lemon peel . There is a creaminess to the mouthfeel and the alcohol , though I imagine it to be quite weighty , is well integrated . Lightly toasty , well balanced finish . I think this is drinking pretty well now , no rush , enjoy this over the next 5-8 years. — 6 days ago

Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay 2024

This is a beautiful Single Vineyard Chardonnay from Napa Valley.

Full bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with a soft mouthfeel.

Elegant and nicely balanced. Fruit forward, complex and entertaining.

I had this vintage a year ago, and it wasn't showing well at all. Drinking beautifully now.

Cantina Ar.Pe.Pe.

Stella Retica Sassella Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2019

Popped and poured, enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2019 “Stella Retica” (Sassella) pours a garnet color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with a beautiful perfume of Morello cherry, red flowers, alpine herbs, truffle and inorganic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. A beautiful, elegant wine that’s nipping at the heals of the 2017 vintage. Drink now through 2044. Thanks for the assist @Lyle Fass — 2 days ago

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

I would probably only have this beautiful wine only 10 years later but the 375ml brings things forward, showing why this winter if 2016 vintage is so highly regarded. I think the juice is ready now but will be a long runner for decades — 6 days ago

A delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich and fruit forward. Nicely balanced and elegant with a nice mouthfeel.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2023

Medium deep ruby with a quite thin bright ruby violet rim. This is quite closed on the nose at first with bright cherry fruit , red plum , blueberry, blackberry , some floral hints and underneath a touch of slate . On the palate this is quite focused and lean , lovely red fruits , hint of spiciness and red cherry floral hints . Really fresh , vital acidity , with fine but very noticeable tannins and a very long focused red cherry , mineral tinged finish . Needs time , but is very promising, great freshness. Probably not at the level of the 2021 , tasted previously , but it’s close . Leave another 5-10 years and will show well a further 10. — 6 days ago

La Muse Sonoma County Merlot Blend 2021

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Pretty nose of black currants, black plums, cherries, light cedar, licorice, chocolates, black pepper, black tea, herbs and spices.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black plums, cooked cherries, currants, light oak, spices, chocolates, light black tea, licorice, herbs, coffee, tobacco leaf and black pepper.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This young Merlot from Sonoma County is already drinking beautifully, but needs a few more years in the bottle to mature properly.

Fruit forward and very elegant, with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel. Spicy, tangy and entertaining. Feels like a Right Bank Bordeaux.

I've had an older vintage of this Merlot not too long ago, and it was drinking even better. Will continue to age nicely in the next 25 years. Has good potential to become a 96+ point wine.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

A blend of 90% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Malbec. Aged for 16 months in (95% new) French oak barrels.

14.1% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$500.
