Morillon Blanc Vin de Pays d'Oc Chardonnay Blend 2016

Ron R
9.1

Hailing from Languedoc, this white has a similar profile to that of a Rhoné white blend. No idea of the blend, but the nose presents honey, apricot and dried herbs. The palate suggests that viognier is in the mix. Big notes of lychees and passion fruit are bold and strong, along with the oak, which I consider to be a little too prominent. Acidity is lacking, and this comes across a little too smooth. Still a good effort, just dial back on the oak treatment. — 7 years ago

This was fine. I imagine seeing this on a wine list with friends and saying "hey, I got a bottle of this in Paris; I liked it!" To which they'll say "cool! Wanna get a bottle?" Followed by a quick meh — 8 years ago

Liquid Farm

Golden Slope Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2015

A favorite bottle to commemorate some new ink. Always love LF, as this is a chard that definitely grows and progresses as it opens up and warms up in the glass. Beautiful notes of iris, candied pineapple, melon, toasted walnuts, and saline minerality on the nose. Gorgeous texture and purity of fruit.. bruised apple, Meyer lemon, papaya, and chalky minerals. Bright zingy acidity on the backend, but not as lean as something like Ceritas or Failla - a bit more baby fat and textural complexity on this bottle that keeps you coming back for more. A perfect hybrid of styles by Jeff Nelson and co. Paired with a creamy bow tie pasta with dried tomatoes and a spring salad. — 8 years ago

I’ve only had their entry level chard, this sounds nice. Think you told me about it when we were discussing Ceritas. Impressive ink!

Good call. Always well made but I can't tell Jeff's wines apart from one another. Ask @John Sweeney to try galacia effect Syrah made at Jeff's winery. It's freaking nuts Paul. Gotta get on the mailing list but well worth it. Second label is just as good for a fraction of the price

Wow- it is not often that we drink first growths. This was an incredible, rich, generous claret that had the balancing cut to make the dry aged ribeyes sing. What an experience... It lived up to its giant reputation.

Wow! Singing. Menthol, berries, hint of cream, herbs, cassis. I am influenced by drinking with the guy who made this wine while listening to him play songs from the album! Still excellent for an almost 20 year old wine. — 7 years ago

Domaine Puydeval

Jeff Carrel Cabernet Franc Blend 2015

Smells like a shop that only sells dried fragrant fruit on tiny hemp strings. The shop is playing “Gorecki, Symph #3”

The first flavor/band to hit my palette is “XTC: skylarking” a harmonious blend of red and blue fruits, subtle, yet always a new one after every sip.

This wraps up with a truly silky, smooth style, with a long, lingering flash of vanilla. “Prince: Purple rain” is what’s happening in my head at the moment..
Stunning Cab Franc blend..

TOR Kenward Family Wines

Tierra Roja Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

This is how we pre-game! Wow! Amazing. May be my favorite Tor yet. The nose is literally intoxicating - I imagine it's similar to the smell in the air when walking down a gravel path lined with blackberry bushes. This is super rich and dense - blackberry, raspberry, creme de cassis and a touch of brown sugar on the palate with a distinct minerality. Smooth tannins balanced with nice acidity. Long finish - L-O-N-G. I love Tierra Roja Cab but what Jeff Ames and @Tor Kenward do with this vineyard is just superb. — 10 years ago
