Rippon Vineyard
Tinker's Field Mature Vine Pinot Noir 2021
This was a generous gift from a friend who visited the winery and raved about out the wine - I can see why! Very fresh presentations of red fruit that is ripe and not jammy - perfect timing of the harvest! The brightness of the fruit suggests some whole cluster but there are additional layers to this wine. Definite floral hints on the palate, minerality and M tannins that will soften with age. All in all a wonderful representation of Pinot and of central otago. — 8 days ago
Château de Puligny-Montrachet
Les Folatières Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2014
This wine was a disappointment - lots of citrus with some green apple. Very limited minerality IMO with a little neutral oak to provide a modicum of roundness. A little creaminess on the finish. NOT a typical Puligny - perhaps it’s the producer since the 1er cru vineyard does have some wonderful wines. — 18 days ago
Château Petit-Figeac
Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2020
A well structured second wine from Chateau Figeac. Lively floral bouquet on the nose transforms into a structured wine with dark fruits on the palate. — a day ago
Luigi Tecce
Satyricon Irpinia Campi Taurasini Aglianico 2021
An exceptional aglianico that was a perfect pairing with a tasting menu of Tuscan and Roman food. A little VA - but not in a distracting way! — 10 days ago
Château Tournefeuille
Lalande de Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2022
A high quality price ratio wine! Very approachable with soft tannins, dark fruit and sundry oak influences that make for a nice wine. This bottle cost less than $30!! — a day ago
Benito Ferrara
Vigna Cicogna Greco di Tufo 2024
Ripe stone fruit with exceptional freshness in a warmer weather white wine. Definitely worth consideration with food especially italien cuisine — 10 days ago
Cayuse Vineyards
God Only Knows Armada Vineyard Grenache 2015
This is a very unique Grenache - distinctly New World IMO. More fruit driven like Aussie grenache. Good acidity and a long finish. A real treat to finally taste Cayuse!! — 17 days ago
Scott Kahn
A very perfumed wine reminiscent of a junior torrontés! Not my style! — a day ago
