Saint Ferréol Bandol Mourvedre 2012

Oh heavy and deep and it’s someone who gets into my head and body and soul. As Mourvèdre/monastrell/mataro does. It is in my body because it is balanced: alcohol acid and body seem to waltz whilst NOT waiting for the unbalanced part: the onslaught of flavor. Those parts are moshing(body): leather and funky high toned but aggro tobacco orange peel all sorts of sour red and black things and an umeboshi plum are the sharp acidic cinnamon veil over all so my soul is here thinking and... — 6 years ago

Domaine de la Côte

Bloom's Field Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2013

Just lovely. Crushed raspberry and a lovely smell of pepper and you can almost smell the foggy air in Sta Rita Hills. Taste is smooth with both red berries and vegetables. Hint of new oak. Love it and I am lucky to have more in my cellar — 8 years ago

Nice - a lot of ‘99s are still closed. I have a couple of bottles of the ‘11 - hoping they might be approaching a drinking window soon.

Sattlerhof

Gamlitz Sudsteiermark Sauvignon Blanc

Another tasty exception to my rule of not usually enjoying sauvignon blancs. Not all the way dry, plenty of wet stones, white flowers, passionfruit, clementine and kind of a classic Austrian aromatic quality that i always get, which makes me think of a foggy spring morning with wet concrete all around. — 7 years ago

Roar

Sierra Mar Vineyard Viognier 2016

SLH without too much explanation is a premier site for Pinot Noir and Chard. But like Napa/Sonoma and Santa Barbara the similar theme is we're finding more grape varietals to diversify ourselves because of how great our weather is and generally our love of many options. Roar is a local leader of quality wines, if you're looking for an SLH example of the good stuff.. here you go.

Went on a cool personal tour of some vineyards at the winery and tried some wine after. This is a newer vineyard for them, high elevation grown Viognier (10 years). Keep in mind this is a foggy climate versus most other Viognier climates. Rich peaches outweigh the honeydew melon fruit for an ideal balance of fruit I'd prefer. I think an edge to this wine is some minerality I usually find clouded from old world veen. Also out here we're in our 2nd or 3rd year in a row of very cold summers and cold spring/fall. It's really what I imagine Seattle to be because most days I just get overcast with my beach view😂 I look forward to a very warm SLH year; this will wake up the locals.

Niederösterreich Rosé Blend 2015

Lauren Vance
9.0

One of the best $10 & under rosés on the market. Nose is subdued and approachable, showing red berries and a veil of minerality. With a slight effervescence and a touch of RS, this reminds me of fresh raspberry lemonade on a hot day. Accompanied with great mouthfeel and youthful acidity, this is rosé far outshines it's price tag. — 8 years ago
