Kistler

Les Noisetiers Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2020

Ron R
9.4

This wine is so good, it should not be overlooked. Apparently, Kistler (Jason Kesner) produces this wine for restaurants. But that doesn’t mean us mere mortals can’t enjoy it at home. Some would consider this a mass-market proposition, but it’s anything but that. It possesses a transparency of an individual story, which is easy to read. There are no missing pages or chapters. This wine is well structured and prismatic in terms of its complexity, layers and minerality. Butterscotch, honey and calcium pierce the taste buds, and at a price I consider to be reasonable for such an outstanding product. Check out Kistler’s website. They hide nothing. It screams about very considered wine-making at its very best. Consider this for short-term cellaring only. — a year ago

I totally agree Ron, except for your conclusion about the aging potential. I have drink several for 10 up to 20 years old bottles, and every time it was party time!

@Willem Booij, totally respect your viewpoint on this wine. As a rule of thumb, Kistler is certainly age worthy. This wine presented very little acidity, and it was for this reason that I felt that this wine would not further improve with age. It’s a beautiful specimen now. No need to risk it decaying prematurely, IMO.

@Tom Casagrande and @Eric Urbani, thanks guys. Great wines deserve the best prose that we can muster.

Greer

Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

A truly amazing tasting hosted by non other than Rob Greer!!! We loved hearing the history of his vineyard and his transition from making what he called “Fun” wine to making “Fine Wine”. If he was shooting for simply fine he completely missed his Mark. This one was absolutely unequivocably Superb!!!!! Wow., his 14 was balanced., balanced, balanced. Seamless integration and a touch of oak which doesn’t over power the wine. This was Badass in a Glass for sure!!!!!!
I was lucky enough to have been introduced to Greer wines by Howard Greenfield a few years ago. I’ve never looked back and say YES SIR to my entire allocation on a yearly basis. If you haven’t had Greer YOU MUST contact Rob and pick up a 3 pack. Believe me.,you won’t regret it!!! It will do you proud when you pour it for your family and friends🙌🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🙌.

Leonetti Cellar

Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Visiting friends who I know Iove this style of wine. Beautiful nose of red fruit and plums along with vanilla. In the mouth powerfully extracted fruit but very well-balanced with a good dollop of acid. Silky smooth tannins well contained with a 3 hour decant.Thanks @Jason Soloway — 3 years ago

Prospect 772

The Brawler Calaveras County Syrah Viognier 2015

My 700th wine! Recommended to me by @Jason Oliver, he was spot on!

This wonderfully toes the line between Californian and Australian styles. There is the heft and bramble berry but also the olive bacon fat. A great wine indeed!

Murrieta's Well

The Spur Livermore Valley Red Blend 2015

Shay A
9.2

I’ve started seeing quite a bit of this winery on Delectable as of late, and @Jason Oliver does a great job of being an ambassador for them. He informed me of a killer deal they had going, so I snagged a 3-pack.

Robbie Meyer (of Del Dotto, Pierson Meyer) became the full time winemaker in 2015. The Spur is their red blend and really is an awesome value for Livermore Valley. Bordeaux varietals + petite sirah. Super dark in the glass. Nose is full of herbs, crushed blackberries, graphite. I thought it would be super heavy on the palate due to the color, but it was soft. Easy to pick up the petite sirah in this with the spice and pepper on the finish. Tart and spicy fruit too like rhubarb. Smokiness and cedar wood. Looking forward to the merlot and Malbec I have.

@Mark Flesher let's just say... I'd recommend murrieta's well, steven kent, occasio, nottingham, mckahn, kalin (no tasting room) and wente. And prospect 772 is a sierra foothills winery that makes black tie charlie (petite sirah from livermore).

@Shay Aldriedge @Mark Flesher murrieta's well for more fruit forward. Steven kent for elegant higher acid ageworthy cab. Kalin for aged whites. And occasio (wait for 2015 vintage)/nottingham for bordeauxs/rhone.

BlackCap Pinot Noir 2009

“ A bird, a mushroom, and a berry, all native to Oregon. A limited production from Heritage vines, this cuvée is composed of 20 barrels. Vinified traditionally, the song, the savor and in the sweetness of the blackcap are manifest here, in a Pinot Noir that embodies its origins.” Jason Lett. — 5 years ago
