Trader Joe's

Diamond Reserve Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Excellent - lots of fruit. Dried cherries, blueberries and blackberries. Some nice tannins a decent finish. This one is always a winner. Looking forward to the next vintage. #cabernertsauvignon #californiawine #californiacab #traderjoes — 2 years ago

Clos De La Tech

Santa Cruz Mountains Estate Pinot Noir

I think this is my first time tasting a Pinot Noir from the Santa Cruz Mountains. Let me tell you, this 2012 Pinot Noir from Clos de la Tech has aged well! 🍷 A funky nose with aromas of strawberries, some plum, and aged red wine notes of mushrooms, wet earth and truffle. I love a good funky Pinot Noir! 🍷

Harvest of Joy To-Kalon Vineyard Fumé Blanc 2013

MICHAEL COOPER DipWSET
9.3

2013 and it’s still alive and kicking. As it opens up it begins to express all of its tropical fruit aromas like mango, papaya and passion fruit. It has a creamy aroma and creamy texture from its fermentation and ageing in oak. It’s like a light coconut and white chocolate powder dashed on top. Lovely texture, tight and crunchy, with an orange peel and cream. Long finish. #sauvignonblanc #fuméblanc #mondavi #californiawine #napavalley — 6 years ago

Médium garnet, legs, medium nose, potpourri, dried roses, slightly meaty and bloody, cumin and sage and smoke. On the palate it’s completely #californiawine with a rich and luscious body and flavors.

This is a second label of Spottswoode's. A dense, rich dark fruits with toasted oak. Voluptuous. Love it. Approachable now.


スポッツウッドのセカンドラベル。凝縮された濃厚なダークフルーツにトーストされた樫の木の香り、樽香が何とも言えない。官能的とでもいいましょうか。とにかく美味しい。十分早飲みが可能。

Paul Hobbs

Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2012

Paul Hobbs Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2012


Paul Hobbs is one of the greatest producers of California pinot noir. Opulent, floral and fruits forward in youth. This is my 2nd bottle of 2012 since 2015. The fruits have somewhat settled down. I remember my first experience with this floral, beautiful wine as clearly as if it had happened just yesterday.


カリピノの魅力を教えてくれたPaul Hobbsのピノノワール。3年前(2015年)に開けて以来の2本目。香り高く、華やかでフルーツ感が前面に出ていたあのピノは、落ち着いた感じになっていました。このピノに関して言えば、3年前に飲んだ時のあの華やかな香りが忘れられないなー。

Bedrock Wine Co.

Dolinsek Ranch Heritage Red Blend 2014

Bedrock Dolinsek Ranch Red

Dried blackberries and rich black and pruned plums. Black cherry dusted bituminous. Cedar and wet violets locked in an energetic embrace. Baked strawberry aromas and dried rose petal. Dried lavender emerges from bing cherry and red currant with a blackberry and bitter chocolate entourage. Touches of ginger and chicory on a medium full palate that bursts with Mallow blossom and blueberry. Intermittently tart, tangy, rich and floral, with a medicinal nod in the dried aromatics, that is a welcome and pleasant diversion. There is a black currant leaf note that likely opens to fruit with age, but is still very pleasant in its youth. #bedrockwineco #BedrockDolinsekRanchVineyards #BedrockDolinsekRanchRed #Sonoma #RussianRiver #RussianRiverValley #Russianriverred #SonomaCounty #DolinsekRanch #dryfarmed #LagunaTrenton #redwine #cared #calired

Grgich Hills Estate

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Grgich Hills Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Mike Grgich, one of the founders of Grgich Hills, was the one who put California chardonnays on the world wine map winning the Paris Wine Tasting of 1976 with his 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay. Probably more well-known for its chardonnay, Grgich Hills also makes great age-worthy cabs. This 2010 cab is fully integrated. Beautiful. Rich, dark berry fruits with cedar, mocha, leather notes.

ガーギッチと言えば、カリフォルニアワインの名声を世界に知らしめる契機となった1976年のパリ・テイスティングで白ワインのトップとなった1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnayをつくったことで知られるマイク・ガーギッチが設立したワイナリー。白ワインの印象が強いですが、熟成に値する素晴らしい赤もつくっている。2010年のカベルネは、凝縮したリッチなダークベリー系のフルーツにシダー、モカ、レザーなどが見事に調和した素晴らしいワインでした。

Ridge Vineyards

Lytton Estate Vineyard Syrah Blend 2017

Cheers to more blue skies in northern California! 💙 The 2017 Syrah, Grenache, Mataro from Ridge Vineyards is a lovely new world GSM blend 🍷

62% Syrah
27% Grenache
11% Mataro (Mouvedre)

This Syrah dominated wine exhibits aromas of red currant, raspberries, plums, thyme, cedar, oak, and some pepper. On the palate, you'll get a fruit driven viscous sensation probably as a result of the malolactic fermentation. The seemingly sweet tobacco flavors linger on the palate with a slightly bitter aftertaste.

14.2% ABV. Medium-plus body.

This Southern Rhone style wine did great on a Thursday night! 🍷

Cheers!

There’s a prickly pickle (vinegar) /ginger hint on the nose and on the palate. The alcohol is bit unbalanced by lack of fruit and somewhat hollow palate. The finish is an off-dry yeasty experience. #californiachardonnay #chardonnay #californiawine — 6 years ago

A great combination of bright red fruit and spice notes. Vibrant, classy California Russian Valley pinot noir. Went well with Japanese sukiyaki.

カリピノらしい果実感と様々なスパイスが絶妙なコンビネーションで味わえるピノノワールでした。果実感の強いカリピノとすき焼きとの相性も抜群でした。
