Domaine Jean Michel Stéphan

Vin Nature Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2012

Côte-Rôtie Deep ruby with purple highlights. Clean, medium-plus nose with a riot of aromas including medicinal overtones of iodine and tar, black olive licorice, black pepper and exotic spices. Medium plus acidity, medium plus ripe tannins with all the aromas mirrored on the palate. Excellent multi-layered wine with a long finish. — 10 years ago

Georges Laval

Brut Nature Cumières 1er Cru Rosé Champagne

Youthful, vivacious, light on its feet, with an untamed side as with many Laval wines. Iron, rose and cherry nose; palate is bone dry with the echo of red berries, cherry, blood orange and rhubarb and smoky mineral finish. — 11 years ago

Caves Avinyó Brut Nature Reserva Cava Macabeo-Xarel-lo-Parellada

Actually this is the Brut Nature, aged longer before disgorgement (26mo) and no dosage. One of my favorite pairings with (difficult) artichokes. — 13 years ago

Martin Fontaine Brut Nature Champagne Chardonnay

Rather simple. Enjoyable enough to drink, but not a lot of depth or complexity. Has oxidative character seemingly due to less SO2 being used. — 8 years ago

La Pucelle 1er Cru Brut Nature Champagne

Ripe Red Delicious apple, unmissable and unmistakeable. Lemon curd, brioche/autolysis at a moderate level, more on the toasty side, a bit of oxidation. Tight mousse but I served it a bit cold. Very good juice, and well priced at that. — 9 years ago

François Chidaine

Montlouis-sur-Loire Brut Nature Chenin Blanc

Wine 2 of 2 for Valentine's Day Revival Fried Chicken takeout! Some serious Chenin bubbles. Another wine with simultaneous richness and verve. Ripe, slightly bruised green apple and Anjou pear, smoky crushed chalk minerality, a honeyed, beeswaxy character, yeasty brioche dough, and some very slight anise-y spice and dried floral notes. Moderate weight with great oily texture and juicy, high acidity. Kinda like a good Savennieres with bubbles. Also awesome with Revival's fare. #Friedchickenandchenin — 9 years ago

Ultra Brut Nature Champagne Blend

Elegant and penetrating. The austerity of the ultrabrut style is redeemed in the persistent pear-fruited finish. — 11 years ago

Rob Murray Vineyards

Force of Nature Tempranillo 2014

Stewed blackberries, black raspberries, earth, anise, baking spices. Excellent acid/minimal smooth velvet tannin balance, juicy slightly silky texture, medium bodied, fruity warm spicy finish. Big fruit with the acid structure to support it. — 10 years ago

Jean François Ganevat

De Toute Beauté Nature Gamay 2013

This, on the other hand, has no VA issues, just an insane variety of aromas and flavors. Barnyardy funk, spices (cinnamon even?), along with what I swear comes off as garlic to me. I'd like a bit more body though, and it seems pretty tannic still. A few years in bottle will probably do this some good, but this is unique and fun to drink anytime. #ganevatwednesdays — 11 years ago
