Contra Costa County Sauvignon Blanc

Natural Zinfandel recommended when I asked for something not as tart. Slightly mushroomy / peppery finish, very enjoyable. Purchased from Gemini Bottle Co — 4 years ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 1997

Very good Nebbiolo from a strong producer and a good vintage. In very good shape plenty of fruit and acid. Should be good for another 5-7 years — 9 years ago

Neyers

Evangelho Vineyard Carignan 2017

Clear deep red-violet Boysenberry on sight

Clean sandy berry aroma

Dry, med+ acidity, fine tannin, lighter side of medium body, red fruit and dark berry in the finish. Delicious now, could age. Needs a nice decant, great to watch evolve in glass too (air wakes up the tannins and elevates the red fruit notes)

Hooray and Keep up the good work 140+ yr old vines!

Otin Fiorin Piè Franco-Michet Barolo Nebbiolo 2006

2006 vintage. Medium ruby hue. Nose is off the charts - slight metallic, dark plum, roses and violets, sultana, coffee lift, licorice. With air, fennel and tangerine. On the palate, wow. Huge acidity, medium body, high tannin - softened with time in glass. Medium plus alcohol. Great length and complexity. Drink now until 2027. — 7 years ago
