Fort Ross-Seaview Chardonnay

2023 vintage. Relatively crispy and super clean. Light-medium body. Akin to the fog patterns in the area. Shifting and constantly morphing. Complicated stuff and definitely not your usual CA chard. 12.10.25. — a month ago

last bottle and it was the best — ever!

opened for an old friend and after battling a broken cork and decanting, it ended up absolutely pristine, darn near flawless. A testament to Fred Scherrer

Needs air but so elegant and gorgeous. Pretty. Roses, mid season. cherry, mineral and very open palate that is fleshing out minute by minute. Gorgeous, elegant tannins and very pure. Let’s see what air does. Such a wispy wine. — 10 months ago

One of the best Girard 23’s. First time since April and it’s just as I remember. What a wine. Lush, giving cherry nose that just exudes purity and generousness. So inviting. Palate is lush and generous with unreal fruit. Black cherry, red cherry, blackberry. So dense, so explosive and fresh. Gorgeous, diamond cut tannins. Unreal wine. Wow. — 10 days ago

A wonderful Mount Veeder Cab that has aged elegantly.

The nose shows blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum laced with savory notes of cedar, tobacco and dried herbs. The palate is concentrated yet vibrant with silky tannins has firm grip, finishing long with hints of cocoa and espresso.

Restrained power and finesse, Yannick brought both Veeder’s rugged characters and French precision. Last bottle.

While I wanted to enjoy this one it wasn’t my favorite. Was described as having some fruit present but fell short. — 10 months ago

Hi Shay! Same I love it. Sadly it was just a quick trip from Sacramento after kid volleyball matches ended for the day.

'Clos du Ciel' Fort Ross-Seaview Pinot Noir 2011

A bit syrupy on the nose but the highish abv is surprisingly well balanced. Lot of blueberry. One of the better Pinots imo but not worth the extra wait and still boring — 11 days ago

Casemates mystery wine. Used a bit to poach some salmon, and drank the rest with dinner. It was delicious, and complemented dinner perfectly. — 5 months ago
