So...I had a birthday a couple weeks back.and due to scheduling, my regular bottle finishing team wasn't available until now, so we're finally doing it up in my grand, unique style.
Notes possibly tomorrow, scores honestly tonight.
Decanted 6H.
24-Hour Update:
Nose has crushed bricks, blood orange, ripe cherries, cranberry sauce and wet vines.
Palate has dried cranberry (unsweetened), chalk, orange zest, black currant and dried blackberry.
Seems a little shutdown, revisit 2023+. — 4 years ago
Parádní primitivo, ten nádech tabáku a třísloviny. — 5 years ago
A flavorful Pinot with a nice body. — 6 years ago
Rustic and fast-forward, while dry and tasy. You can't do much better for $6. Thanks Lidl! — 6 years ago
Beste wijn. — 9 months ago
A little bitter aftertaste, and the taste of the stainless steel left this Chardonnay a little lacking. 2018 vintage in November 2021. It has a crisp taste. Did not pare as well with seafood or poultry, as other Chardonnay’s. — 4 years ago
Very tasty wine — 5 years ago
Nice medium body and a smooth finish that lingers nicely for just a bit. — 6 years ago
My understanding is the ‘16 vintage of this is their last one as the SauvBlanc grapes have been ripped out as more Cab is being planted. Such a shame. This is a superb SB, one of the better ones I’ve had and reminiscent of another Mountain SB I’m fond of, Arkenstone. Everything about this is just rich and round. Guava, white peach skin and lemon tart bar aromatics. More viscous than most SBs on the palate showing limestone, pineapple and a Creamsicle like finish. Very white Bordeaux like and could hold for a few years. — 6 years ago
Could drink this every day. Perfectly balanced, medium-bodied 60-40% cab-primitivo. Dark cherry on the nose, smooth finish, delicious with steak, asparagus, roasted potatoes, and arugula salad. — 10 months ago
