Yum! All I can say. Delicious premier cru from my favorite region in Burgundy. Earthy, mineral, super balanced. Ever lasting finish. Yep, got to drink those wines once in a while. Feel so blessed that I can. 🙏🙏 — 21 days ago
Nice balanced flavorful Bordeaux. Dark fruit with earthy mineral notes. Missing a lingering grippy finish. — a month ago
Expressive Bordeaux blend from …. Valle de Guadeloupe! Brought it home when we were traveling there. They are making great wines in Baja California region but interestingly very difficult, if not impossible to get in the US. Paralelo 31 was recommended by several. They are part of a larger project. No dedicated tasting room. Lot of upfront dark earthy expressive fruit. A bit tart on the finish. — 6 days ago
Complete symphony! It had about everything, dark dry plum and black cherry, earthy under notes, infused with just the slightest hint of ‘barnyard’, fine grained tannins carrying a long, minerally edged finish. All in harmony 💃🏻🕺 — 19 days ago
Classic cool climate Syrah. Vibrant, elegant dark red and blue fruit with beautiful forest floor, mineral, earthy under notes infused with fine polished soft tannins guiding you to a soft lingering finish. — a month ago
Balanced but single note. Vibrant blue fruit up front. Limited depth and finish for a 9 year old wine. — a month ago
This was my second Pinot Noir from Jack Winery in Napa Valley. Their winery and tasting room is towards the top of Altas Peak. However, they are getting their Pinot grapes somewhere in Sonoma, I believe, closer to the ocean. The 2019 blew my top. The 2021 brought me back down to earth with a smack. Nothing special and certainly not for the price. Not sure if they received the grapes from a different vineyard or if there were striking difference between the two years. The 21 version had little character. Just light to medium bodied red fruit with little else going on. — 10 days ago
Wonderful Bordeaux blend from Saint-Julien. Super dry dark blue fruit seamlessly integrated with aged wood notes of dark chocolate, raw tobacco and leather (remember chewing on this as a kid 😁) and smooth rounded tannins. A great wine to just sip, reminisce and… wondering where the oldest vineyard in the world might be? You want to know?

Nine year old Brunello. Vibrant, dusty dark red fruit on the palate. Nice umami notes on the background. But that’s about it. Limited layers, complexity or finish. Hmm. 🧐 — a month ago

Concentrated, focussed fruit, deeply penetrating and revealing layers of dark flavor infused with potent tannins. Not for the ‘faint of heart’ — 8 hours ago
