Littorai

The Tributary Vineyard Chardonnay 2010

Talk about "in the zone." Rich and voluminous but not weighty or fat. Still carries good acid and tension. Hedonistic and awesome — 9 years ago

The Ojai Vineyard

Santa Barbara County Chardonnay 2014

Not bad for $15 on Benchmark. Richer than most, without teetering towards milky, lactic zone. Definitely went through malo and brings the toasty oak to the party. Not bad, and definitely made the girlfriend happy. — 10 years ago

Vincent Dauvissat

Les Preuses Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2000

Yellow gold color, heavy weight in the glass. Great classic nose of aged Chablis with honeyed scents plus river stones, orange peel and lemon. Expansive in the mouth with very long, tasty finish. This is in a great drinking zone. — 10 years ago

Pascal Janvier

Cuvée du Rosier Coteaux du Loir Pineau d'Aunis 2010

Thanksgiving cometh, and there’s no more versatile wine at the Thanksgiving table than a fresh, savory, light-bodied red: precisely the reason we chose this wine for this newsletter. In the most northerly and coolest viticultural zone of the Loire valley, Pascal Janvier farms three acres devoted to the indigenous, pale-skinned Pineau d’Aunis. The results are stunning. Medium ruby in color with beautiful orange highlights, Janvier’s Cuvée du Rosier casts fresh aromas of pink peppercorns, cranberries, strawberries and spicy cinnamon. Focused and bright on the palate, the wine fuses tangy raspberry and earthy cranberry fruit with spicy suggestions of Szechuan peppercorns, cinnamon, smoky limestone minerals and an appetizing herbal note reminiscent of agave. Fresh, crunchy and vibrant, the wine grows with aeration and finishes long, tangy and stony. This wine stuns you first with its deliciousness, and then grows and adds complexity with each successive sip. Enjoy this now and over the coming three years with roast turkey and all the trimmings, fresh chèvres, roast duck and grilled or roasted vegetables. - L&E Review — 13 years ago
