This vintage a little more darkly fruited and less savory, but still centered. Would love to see with a little more time — 10 years ago

Grande Cuvée Brut Champagne Blend

Marc Stubblefield
9.3

Spendy bubbles aren't usually my jam, but this is pretty great. So much minerality and lime centered citrus almost keep you from noticing just how big a wine this is. — 10 years ago

Le Demi-Sec 1er Cru Champagne Blend

Amazing crisp Demi sec that translates to a festival of peach centered fruit salad. — 12 years ago

Casot Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2011

Peter Granoff MS
9.0

A fine value in traditional Piemontese Nebbiolo. Relatively rich core of red fruit; a touch of funk and minerality keeps it firmly centered in the old world. — 10 years ago

Two Messengers Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2013

Smoke and meat on the nose with touches of herb and raspberry. Very savory and centered. We'll. Integrated acidity keeps it lively without being tart. Pretty good Pinot. — 10 years ago

Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2009

Jörgen Lindström Carlvik
8.9

Made in a fruit-centered, modern version where loads of cherries and blackberries are balanced by sweet, ripe tannins, juice acidity and bitter chocolate flavors. Traces of VA and somewhat hit on the back palate. Individual. That said, I'll personally only digest it if somebody else is paying. — 11 years ago

Blanc White Bordeaux Blend 2012

Jörgen Lindström Carlvik
9.2

Elegantly built-up aromas and flavors, centered around peaches, gooseberries and orange blossom notes, framed by hints of oak, but first and foremost this is a modern and positively naked expression where tart fruit and minerality are driving forces. Mid-term cellaring is recommended. — 10 years ago

Alder Yarrow
9.1

Bright and raspberry, cedar and strawberry. Citrus kick on the finish. Sweetness of oak stays well centered as dusty, gauzy tannins hang in the background. — 11 years ago

Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2011

Fruit centered for a Sauvignon blanc. Not oaky at all. Great for sipping on a hot day — 13 years ago
