Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2014

2014 vintage. Opened but not decanted. Probably a mistake as the wine was muted for the first 30 mins after opening. Light-medium bod. Raspberry and plum suggestions frontal/mid palate. Tannic references available upon request. Showed decently but have tasted better exactly same specimen previously. Seemed slightly muted but not flawed. Blaming it on me decanting previous bottles of selfsame but not this one. How to lose a wine in a second. My bad. Call me the same name as Steve Martin's dog in The Jerk. Grrr. — 5 months ago

Martin's Gold Chardonnay 2015

Delicious Chardonnay from French Creek Vineyard. Ali really knows how to make her white wine. Went surprisingly well with stir fry. The ginger really brought out the flavor. — 6 years ago

South Australia Cabernet Sauvignon

I was pleasantly surprised on how nice this wine tasted. It was slightly sweeter than I’m used to. I had it with Sheppard’s pie and it was very tasty. — 4 years ago

Fritzi's Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Had the same vintage as Nacho, I didn’t find the same intensity or length. The wine WAS unique and a bit compelling. It seemed like some over ripe plum/prune character that was a subtle note. There was acid, that played off the length, giving it some legs, but it seemed a bit lean. There too was a green element of leaf as well. The oak and tannin profiles were modest and gave wine a way to express its location. Interesting wine. — 5 years ago

Sauvignon Blanc 2018

We really enjoyed this Cab with steak and mashed potatoes. Fruity with cherries and berries in particular. Seems to be low in tannins, with no aftertaste. Will absolutely buy again. — 6 years ago
