Dry Estate Vineyard Riesling 2022

See notes from 2020. 2022 is more fruit-forward with banana and tropical fruits dominating. Hint of petrol. — 3 months ago

Rippon Vineyard

Lake Wanaka Mature Vine Riesling 2020

Lime zest, coriander, tangerine, minerals, hints of honey, petrol, and dairy cream. Wonderful finish that reminds me of peaches and cream, really elevating what's a more subtle nose. — 8 months ago

Kivelstadt Cellars

Twice Removed Lovett Vineyard Rosé of Mourvedre 2022

Crunchy and tasty and refreshing and all the things you would want on a summer Saturday in Sonoma.
It's a Paloma of wines - grapefruit and squirt with a touch of effervescence (served from C02 kegs) but enough tequila to keep it interesting

Hermann J. Wiemer

Finger Lakes Cabernet Franc 2021

We had the pleasure of opening the 2021 Hermann J. Wiemer.

On the nose there was nice strawberry, cranberry, raspberry, herbaceous notes and green bell pepper.

On the palate there was good strawberry, raspberry, red plum, green bell pepper, a bit of oak and crushed gravel.

This is a medium bodied wine with light velvety mouthfeel medium to medium + acidity and medium to medium + fine tannins that leaves with a medium to medium + red fruit gravel dust finish. Well it looks as though spring can't make up her mind. This weekend looks to be a bit on the cooler side so lets get out and enjoy ourselves. Please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Robledo Family Winery

El Rey Red Hills Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Ruby in color with medium intensity and a reddish rim.

Very pretty nose of sweet red and black fruits, cedar, licorice, tobacco, chocolates, coffee, light cola and spices.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and fat legs.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, tobacco, licorice, light herbs and peppercorn.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and cranberries.

This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Lake County in California. Spicy and tangy. Showing an elegant mouthfeel with nice complexity.

Easy drinking and good right out of the bottle, but a little hot at the back of the throat.

I had this vintage 4 years ago and it was better then, so drink up.

Good by itself or with food. I paired it with hard cheeses and crackers.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$45.

Forge Cellars

Classique Seneca Lake Dry Riesling 2021

Very interesting and very different from the three previous single vineyard Forge Rieslings we tried. Floral, with a more distinct but still mellow hint of Riesling plastic poncho. A lot of white pepper and cumin, followed by a grassy finish. — 10 months ago

High Valley Vineyard

High Valley - Lake County Zinfandel 2019

Juicy and the right amount of acid for me to keep me engaged. Cherries and plums are the prominent combo I’m getting here. — 2 years ago

Hermann J. Wiemer

Magdalena Vineyard Riesling 2020

BAM goes the nose. Full of banana, minerality, slight petrol, mango, grass, and more. Palate isn’t quite as full. That plus medium minus acidity drops the score a little lower than other Wiemer rieslings. — 5 months ago

Enfield Wine Co.

Heron Lake Vineyard Chardonnay 2020

Quite Chablis like. Just 600 bottles made. Not super complex. More on the subtle side. Lemon and touch herbs 🌿. 12.8%. One of the the producers which are on the burgh side of the spectrum. — 9 months ago

Hawk and Horse Vineyards

Red Hills Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Last bottle of this vintage and think it should be drunk now. It will likely last another 10 years but may not be same quality. Decanted this for 30-40 minutes and it opened up slightly. Very smooth on tannins and mellow. — 2 years ago
