Sassy and full of pep it’s a great summer wine - maybe not Lee Hazelwood/Nancy Sinatra “Summer Wine” but fun nonetheless. — 6 years ago
SVV is a limited-production winery producing estate-grown-and-bottled red wines. For more than a century, the Corkum-Derby family has been farming the area known as Spring Valley, first planting grapes in 1993, with first estate grown and bottled wine in 1999. Aromas of berry fruit with citru and pepper nose. On the is palate blackberry & raspberry flavors with oak and cracked pepper, good focus, drinks well now. Lingering finish ends on the spicy side. — 7 years ago

Second winery on day two in Sonoma was Hanzell Vineyards with Whitney. Third wine was the Hanzell Chardonnay, which is their flagship Chardonnay bottling. All the fruit comes from five of their estate vineyards with an average age of 29 years; de Brye, Zellerbach, Day, Ramos and Ambassador's 1953 vineyards. This bottling is fermented in a mix of stainless steel (62%) and new French oak barrel (38%), the later goes through lee stirring for two months. Aged for a total of twelve months in neutral French oak with all barrel fermentation going through malolactic.
Medium to medium plus lemon yellow with a slight golden hue. Lovely Chardonnay nose with layers of stone, tree and tropical fruits followed by an interesting note of herbal tea like chamomile and honeysuckle. A touch of citrus zest and brioche. Some more mouthwatering acidity on this bottling from Hanzell (7/10) with a medium plus body. Rich palate with a touch of butter, citrus, honeysuckle and some white stone fruits. A nice creamy mouthfeel with a long, lingering finish. Drink till 2032. (93+)

The #anatomyofafieldblend keeps 32 year old Zinfandel fresh and vibrant. Great to drink and I love the deep history it invokes. Bummed @Morgan Twain-Peterson couldn't make it, we had lots of questions. — 7 years ago
Outstanding! I've missed this wine. Glad Lee pulled it out of hiding, thanks Lee! — 7 years ago

How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave?
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain. And even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all. You are light, dry and when you opened up, you were slightly fruit and tobacco filled. Me leaving you is against all odds. With @Miles Macdonell @Taft Morgan @Ginette — 6 years ago
