Petillant Blanc Macabeo Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains 2019

YUMMY! Got self conscious when I saw this described as cougar juice, but after tasting I can’t be mad. This is easy drinking. Can’t believe I’ve been wasting my money on G and TS and rose when this is superior. Flowers and pandan, citrus and faint peach on the nose. Green apple and lemon on the palate with a pleasant and neat finish. Picnic perfection. Imported by De Maison Selections. — 6 years ago

One of my favourite wines. Very heavy, covers the mouth. But still full of flavour and drinkable in a really conscious way. A real memorable one for me — 7 years ago

Kevin White Winery

Yakima Valley Red Blend 2017

The “Cotes du Rhône”- style blend from @kevinwhitewinery . 57% Syrah, 24% Grenache, 19% Mourvèdre. The wine is lush and aromatic and this producer seems to make a conscious effort to keep the retail cost low. That sentiment follows this band and album perfectly. Total brilliance all around here. — 7 years ago

Rodney Strong Vineyards

Estate Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Unusually supple , refined and beautifully balanced for one of the Heavyweight Cal Cabs especially as it is so young. As I was told by the Sommelier " this wine although not having enough Merlot to consider it a Meritage , Uncle Rodney and his crew do blend with more than a modicum of Merlot and have made a conscious effort to make the wine more eminently drinkable and approachable at a younger age .
Gorgeous full forward fruit w cherry notes , I feel a roundness of toasty oak as well.
Worth higher marks than the rating I saw at 8.9. I would give this wine about 9.3! Incorrect not north by northwest sb Rodney strong Alexander valley 2014

Conscious

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir Rose 2020

100% Pinot Noir. Brilliant carnation pink. Abundant , slightly musty nose of earthy red cherry. Medium palate echoes the nose with a bit of cinnamon candy (without the heat) and red apple peel layered in. Medium plus acidity runs through all of that fruit. More rustic than its cousin under the Samuel Robert label, making it a bit more of a food wine, but it will do well as a summer sipper. Drink now. — 5 years ago

Château Lilian Ladouys

Saint Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

2015 vintage. An unusually high percentage of Merlot for Saint-Estèphe. This estate is owned by the quality-conscious Lorenzetti family (who did such a great job at Pédesclaux in Pauillac), and it is great value. — 6 years ago

The Prisoner Wine Company

Blindfold California Chardonnay Blend 2015

As a result of all the different varieties blended in here(chard with white rhones and aromatics) this wine has a really cool complexity on the nose.
Grilled pineapple with white pepper and lychee. Vanilla, soap, salt. We are right on the edge of how much oak in a chard that I can tolerate, and I believe that to be a conscious decision. They purposely didn't bury the subtleties of this wine with oak. It plays as much of an influence as the supporting varietals. The pallatte brings a great balance of acid, salt, cream, and fruit. It has a little of the disjointed feeling, but altogether it's a nice experience. A little surprised here, my expectations were low but the wine caught up to it's pricetag.

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2015

Very fine Pinot Noir value. I recommend this to my budget-conscious Pinot Noir loving customers for its alluring fruit and charm. Fruit-forward. Clean, well-balanced and showing lovely fruit. Wonderful producer with a unique story and a certified Biodynamic farm. — 8 years ago

Arbe Garbe

Sonoma County White Blend 2014

This Friulian inspired blend is more than just a fancy label. A very conscious and clever winemaking that includes both an extended skin contact, partial new barrels, and to judge by the taste probably som battonage as well. Generous indeed; floral and ripe fruit, pronounced oak influences, a scrumptious viscosity but with enough freshness to carry the wine all the way to the finish line. A very interesting encounter I must say. — 8 years ago

Foradori

Dolomiti Teroldego 2015

Elisabetta Foradori is on a very short list of natural winemakers who have a history of what I’d call dedicated unrecklessness. It isn’t enough to make wine without anything added or taken away. The best natural winemakers make calculated decisions. And she does with her beloved Teraldego- what a grape!

It’s elegant like Pinot but meatier. Pillow plush. There are dark berries, nothing eccentric. Simply restrained, deliberate, conscious, winemaking.
