Silver Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay 2012

The Wagner family struck gold with this beautiful, buttery Chardonnay. Light acidity welcomed with an explosion of ripe papaya, toasted banana and lemon grass. Very interesting take on a delightful Chardonnay. Fresh, exotic, and rich. — 7 years ago

Avennia

Gravura Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Nice blend (48 CS, 41 Mer, 11 CF). Opened it a little cold but it got much better as it warmed up. This wine has really mellowed out. The fruit still comes through and the pepper from the Cab has softened. This is a very nice wine. — 7 years ago

One of the poorest Margaux estate compare to the price not very elegant too oaky in order to mask the fact that they can never arrived to have density and fine tannins, really poor wine 😩

Valinière Faugères Mourvedre Syrah

2006, men fick av oklara anledningar inte områdesklassas. Lite oxiderad doft. Dill, gräddfil, trä, mörk frukt. Mer balanserad i smaken med fattoner och integrerade chokladiga tanniner. — 7 years ago

Nuits d'Ivresse Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2011

Grön paprika, svartvinbärsblad, lite svartpeppar och antydan av tobak. Rönnbär och lingon. Känns fortfarande ungt men med en större och mer komplex finish än de yngre årgångar jag tidigare druckit; örter, grus och blyerts. Från magnum. — 7 years ago
