Ashbourne Pinotage/Cinsault 2018

Wonderful! The grape Pinotage is a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsault, so naturally I figured that a red blend with Pinotage and Cinsault would be a harmonious one. I was not wrong. Great fruit and nicely balanced. 80% Pinotage, 20% Cinsault. 4/12/23. — a year ago

Maison Saint Aix

Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence Rosé 2019

Very interesting Rosé, complexion of fruit notes (super very subtle of watermelon) but so smooth finishes (wet The whole mouth with more saliva, but yet dry acidic fresh)
No wonder why they have this in a magnum sizes, Cuz it’s enjoyable for everyone, even the beginner to the wine tasting. Drinking in the pool, during a first date or at home during shelter in place, suitable of ‘em all lol.

Domaine François Raveneau

Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2000

This is amazing. A rush of rock pool, salinity, yellow fruit, soft citrus on the nose. Loads of slatey mineral and rock. On the palate this expands and expands. It’s just amazing how this is so complex but restrained and in place. Just wow. — 4 years ago

Hemel-En-Aarde Valley Pinot Noir

This is a BIG Pinot. Big, fruit dominated nose, with a little herbal spice on the back end, with hints of black olive and rose permeating throughout. Big palate and body, with an herbal, hay or thyme palate, tannic, with a salinity that’s prominent, with black olive, some tar, and even a smokiness hitting the end, with dark cherry, plum, and a peppery spice showing up loud on the palate. Really good entry to South African Pinot. — 8 months ago

Domaine de la Pépière

Clos des Briords Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Muscadet Sèvre & Maine Sur Lie Melon de Bourgogne 2020

Popped and poured. Steely grey straw color in the glass with medium-viscosity. On the nose, minerals, green apples, peach, and pink flowers. On the palate, Granny Smith apple, lemon and an unbelievable amount of minerals. Medium+ acid and super long with a lovely texture. I’m suddenly craving a pool and a dozen oysters. Alas, it’s late November and I’m in Nebraska. — 2 years ago

Simply exquisite! One of Michael best builds. All round hill fruit :) this was gold in GovCup (2019?) This raises the bar for both terroir and maker! — 4 years ago
