Four Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2017

“Four” is a single-vintage blend of the most exciting barrels of Chardonnay from Liquid Farm’s vineyards. Popped and poured; enjoyed with friends over the course of an hour or so. The 2017 pours a striking, intensely bright golden color. I’m not sure I have seen anything quite like it before. It’s nearly neon. On the nose, the wine is redolent ripe and tart tropical fruits: starfruit and pineapple along with lemons, green apple, butter, gentle baking spices (this does see extended time in a small percentage of new oak). On the palate, the wine is dry with what I perceive to be high acid. It’s awesome. Confirming the notes form the nose, the finish is long with good minerality. This is titillating wine that hooks you from sight to nose to palate and it’s the latter that drives it home with the remarkable acid to match the fruit. About as good as any New World Chardonnay I’ve ever had. Drink now through 2039. — 5 days ago

Surprisingly youthful color and freshness in this 15 year old. Full-bodied with a harmonious 13% alc. Almost dry. Silky texture with a fine acid backbone. Secondary and tertiary flavor complexity. — 6 months ago

Domaine de la Côte

Bloom's Field Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

Strawberries, eucalyptus and plums on the nose, maybe even a lil crushed raspberry on a medium body, with a ruby core with purple hues through the edges. Old world styled, gripping tannins and dry, with prominent eucalyptus, ripe plum, cigar smoke, and tart cranberries and maybe even a lil tar. Definitely could use some time to soften, but still beautiful! — 7 months ago

35.6.18 Judean Mountains Red Blend 2017

This Israeli Grenache blend is delicious now.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

Showing black fruits with light wood, spices, coffee, cola, licorice, light vanilla, black pepper and herbs.

Spicy finish with soft tannins.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it always delivers.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food. Will pair nicely with a lamb dish.

A blend of Grenache, Carignan and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in French oak barrels for 12 months. Kosher.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.
