Burn Cottage

Central Otago Pinot Noir 2014

The flagship wine from Burn Cottage, a Central Otago, New Zealand producer focused on Pinot Noir. Husband and wife owners Dianne & Marquis Sauvage sought out Ted Lemon of Littorai, and SF Chronicle's winemaker of the year for 2010 (Jon Bonné: "The simple version of Ted Lemon's story: Young American goes to Burgundy. Becomes first American to run a Burgundian wine estate. Comes back and stays true to Pinot's motherland."). Lemon oversaw the planting of the vineyards, along with all aspects of vineyard management and winemaking, chief of which being Biodynamic from inception. The label is a derivative of a 1795 fairy tale called “The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily” which represents the ideal intersection of people and the land reflected in Biodynamics. Black cherry, citrus, and lavender pastille, with some secondary loam and herbs. — 7 years ago

@Shay Aldriedge @Eric S I had seen this a couple times and when I found out that Ted Lemon was behind it, I had to try. The label really makes me want to like this more than I do, but it is very good.

Pio Cesare

Ornato Barolo Nebbiolo 2012

After a couple strictly traditional Nebbiolos, these come across as comparatively oaky and generous. Built like a tank and delicious. Intersection of "modern" and "traditional"? — 7 years ago

J&A Frey Vineyards

Trisaetum Ribbon Ridge Estate Pinot Noir 2011

My pick of Trisaetum's Pinot Noirs, the 2011 Estates Reserve is comprised of 13-20 barrels that are aged 11 months on French oak and offers elegant, complex aromatics. Dried mint, bittersweet chocolate, and lively orange zest notes lead into a wine that is bright, yet balanced. The fruit really shows up on the palate—an intersection of dried cherries and cranberry compote that finishes with a spicy jolt of white pepper. — 8 years ago

Grosjean Frères

Vigne Merletta Valle d'Aoste Fumin

I really love this wine. Very simple yet subtle. Lots of fruits, like black berries but also lots of structure and something wild and anima. With a tiny smokiness... Yum! The reference might be stupid but, for me who is huge fan of both burgundy and north rhone, I kind of feel at the intersection of both. — 8 years ago

I’ve rated and said this before, but this is my favorite vineyard designate and vintage of all of Tor’s Chardonnays. Drinking perfectly, this to me sits at the intersection of old and new world wines. Restraint, balance with and abundance of fruit flavors. Butter, lemon curd, vanilla, with a great acidity. — 6 years ago
