Château Coutet

Sauternes-Barsac Sémillon Blend 2003

I am amazed that sitting with this wine this weekend actually showed better than from a 1.5L several years ago. Glorious in all of its unctuous splendor, the 2003 Chateau Coutet is one of the great wines made this vintage. The balance mid-palate is incredible, as is the unctuous texture. Rich vanilla creme brulee, butterscotch and roasted pineapple tones combine with minerals, and sour mango on the palate. With serious weight and verve, this is really singing now at the seventeen year mark and will continue to provide drinking enjoyment at least for another decade. Drink 2020-2032- 96 — 5 years ago

I don’t drink them often but retain a soft spot for a small circle of Sauternes, including this one

Arbor Mist

Mango Strawberry Muscat Blend

Ice sweet sipping refreshing wine. Definitely taste the mango and strawberry — 6 years ago

Hall Wines

Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2016

Had another bottle in my cellar. Hall, located in Napa Valley, employs organic small-vine viticulture. Straw with green edges and fragrant aromas of tropical fruit and citrus zest with hints of complex spice. The palate shows fresh fruit flavors of peach, mango, lemon, and notes of creamy honey. The wine has lively acidity on a medium length finish ending with mineral tones. Good value! Very Nice! The '16 developed nicely over the year + sitting in my cellar. — 7 years ago

Château de Saint-Cosme

Condrieu Viognier 2016

2016 vintage tasted in 9/2018. Pale straw yellow. Exquisite aromas of ripe mango and honeysuckle. Off dry, low acidity, medium alcohol. Primary gushing ripe fruit up front with subtle secondary notes possibly due to malolactic fermentation giving it a very rounded mouthfeel. Superb Viognier. — 7 years ago

Domaine Henri Perrusset

Mâcon-Villages Chardonnay 2016

Light pale straw color. Nice Chardonnay. A little pear with some mango? And a slightly butteriness and touch of oak. — 8 years ago

Patz & Hall

Dutton Ranch Chardonnay 2014

Found another '14 bottle, continuing to develop nicely. Bright straw yellow with aromas of fresh fruit, stone fruits and citrus with floral notes. On the palate, complex flavors, full and rich with peach, green apple, mango and vanilla spice. The wine had a soft mineral taste with nutty toasty oak, noting that the wine sat on French oak, (40% new). The finish was smooth with great texture and balance, time in the cellar will add benefit, an outstanding offering from Patz & Hall. — 8 years ago

Aubert

Sugar Shack Chardonnay 2013

An incredibly balanced chard. This one crushed a 2010 Kistler Kistler Cuvee Cathleen quite easily. This nose is very complex and quite aromatic. Limestone, melon, mango nose. Peach, mango middle. The finish on this wine just goes and goes. I've been lucky enough to have four 2013 Aubert wines all within the last 1-2 years, and this one by far is my favorite (Yes, it beats the Larry Hyde although I'm rating it the same). REALLY close to a 96 IMO. — 7 years ago

@Mark Flesher: When (how many years of age) in your opinion is the best time to drink the Aubert Chards? I have heard 8-10 years is a great time.

@Bryan Kesting I think they show a really nice side within 3 or so years. I don't really like mine on the oxidized side, but I would imagine after 10 years there will be some oxidation which may stamp out some of the little nuances that make the vineyard specific chardonnays what they are. I would say 5 to 7 years is probably optimal. The non SVD chardonnays probably 8 to 10.

Honey Moon California Viognier 2018

I started drinking this Viognier about 10 years ago and it brings back all the memories! It tastes much sweeter now than it did then (when I drank Moscato on the regular) but it's still pleasant and enjoyable. Lots of peach and honeysuckle on the nose, on the palate more stone fruit, pear, and some tropical fruit like mango and pineapple, low acid and a nice fruity finish that dissipates quickly. It's nostalgic for me and I sure do like taking that trip down memory lane! — 6 years ago

Abbazia di Novacella (Stiftskellerei Neustift)

Stiftskellerei Neustift Kerner

Tropical and mineral nose, pineapple and mango. While the fruit somewhat dominates, it is a nice dance on the palate of fruit, acidity and earthy flavors. It is a wine with character as any white from the Tre Venezie area in Italy. This wine is from a local grape called Kerner. From Karen McNeil’s Wine Bible: the grape was created by crossing the red Schiava grape with white Riesling grape... explains the fruit forward characters if the wine. — 7 years ago
