Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2014

Greg Ballington
9.0

Light to medium garnet red. Layers of floral notes, twigs, herbs and red currants. Moderate acidity (7/10), almost moderate plus, and light bodied. A touch savory, tons of red berries, and slight mineralogy. Acidity carries through the long finish. Drink till 2022. — 9 years ago

2011: all varieties. Meaty, lavender, garden herbs, smoky, but still very vibrant red fruit. Lovely vibrancy of red fruit and all Mouvedre and Grenache aromatics. Sweet fruit, juicy acidity, hot indian spice and liquorice. Plum, cherry, spiced. Quite ready now. — 11 years ago

APPEARANCE Clear Medium Ruby color. NOSE Clean Light aromas of Red berry fruit mélange, tea leaf, with air more notes of earth and spice.. PALATE Dry sweetness, Medium acid and Low tannin with Light body and flavours of spice that lessen on the palate while the tea flavors are more pronounced, however the red berry fruits are the most present of the flavors with a streak of minerality. which last for Medium length on the finish. Very Good quality. #beaujolais #morgon #lapierre — 12 years ago

Taittinger

Comtes de Champagne Grand Crus Brut Blanc de Blancs 2000

Light straw gold. Impactful effervescent nose with notes of bread yeast, lemon, marzipan and apricot. Vibrant in the mouth. Expands and has a long finish. Expect this will get better and more complex with a bit more age. Really good right now tho. — 9 years ago

Sonoma County Trousseau 2014

A beautiful example of contrast & tension. Fleshy red berries are at the core surrounded by shimmering acidity and a light spiciness. That spice gently walks the line between an herbal or savory note on the back of the palate. This is on the light side of medium bodied, but possesses an almost creamy texture, yet another contrast. I usually love Trousseau with fish, but this was brilliant with bibimbap. @Tegan Passalacqua — 9 years ago

Bibimap???
Anthony Lombardi

@Ron R - I misspelled it before. Bibimbap is a Korean rice bowl with lots of tasty meat & veggies & Gochujang (spicy bean paste). All topped with a fried egg. The acid in this wine & the egg yolk are heaven together

Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin

Yellow Label Brut Champagne Blend

Endless rosary of tiny bubbles, within a light golden straw color. Nice compromise on the nose between aromas of freshly made brioche and bread dough, and green apple, and citric acidity. The tangyness in this champagne es fenomenal. Great body to it, very harmonious and interesting composition. Great value for the price. Its acidity is really seductive and gracious. Very discreate orangy flavor on the ligering finish. 91 pts. — 12 years ago

Château Lafite Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

Its hard to find words for this beauty. A nose of cedar and tobacco leaf, graphite. Lighter bodied than expected but lithe, feline, with a core of dark berry and a tapestry of perfectly concentrated blackberry, cherry and light floral elements. It just got better with every sip, passing through any reference I have for Bordeaux excellence. — 9 years ago

Château Rayas

Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Blend 1999

A perfumed nose of red fruits that follows thru to the palate. Plenty of intensity despite the light color. Gained weight with air but also showed some alcohol. — 11 years ago

Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1959

This gets a 11+ rating if it was possible. The gods would be so lucky to have a sip of this. Incredible wine for Christmas. Such a light color for the age. So round and perfect. Finish that never ends. Doesn't get better. — 11 years ago

Arianna Occhipinti

SP68 Terre Siciliane Nero d'Avola Frappato 2012

Boy, do I love these grapes. The floral aromatics are enough to hook the most jaded wine snot. Light body, concentrated, and acid that goes all day. I don't know why I buy this wine only a couple of bottles at a time. Just so delightful. — 12 years ago
