One of my spring / summer pets (thanks @Maura Passanisi for introducing me). A Viognier picked so early that it can masquerade as Riesling: lemon/lime dominant, light summer jasmine, subtle hints of underripe nectarine and tropical fruit (mango?). Racy acidity. No grandma’s perfume here. Medium, buttery body. Excellent paired with coconut 🍤🍤🍤 tacos. — 3 years ago

From favorite/best blocks Lede winery. Dark black/purple. On the nose: black fruit, cassis, spice, cedar. Taste: black cherry, spice, cocoa, wet gravel....Give it more time to show best.

Mixed feelings, mixed review: very inward nose, crushed wildflowers with some sourness; strong piss yellow color; on the palate, white petals, some dry nectarine pith, soft acidity. Could masquerade as a funky white Rhône? But it’s not, it’s Spanish, Ribeiro. . And rare. And expensive. A few double sips as wondered if corked. A strange if not enjoyable wine. — 4 years ago

The nose of this medium-dark wine is beautiful, all ripe and red, with notes of vanilla and tobacco woven into the fruit. A high minty element makes things interesting. On the palate, it walks the tightrope between elegant and muscular. The alcohol is somewhat restrained and the acidity is refreshing. There is some brawn there, but it stops just short of being the kind of California Pinot that tries to masquerade as Syrah. — 7 years ago

Wow...the bouquet jumps out of the glass with black fruit, forest floor, green veggies. Taste: Currents, leather, black fruit, dried herbs. Some bitter tannins at the end??

Clear yellow gold color, clean grapefruit nose, refreshing hoppy grapefruit & bready taste, this could masquerade as an IPA, very good! — 7 years ago
