I was looking for something to pair with a binge on the new season of Better Call Saul. For scenes of Albuquerque and Santa Fe I needed something simple yet classic, but not tired. The New Mexico sun had me thinking white. Something from the "what's old is new" category seemed appropriate as well. And if Jimmy isn't Chardonnay...
Some new oak, but no malo. Lemon custard, caramelized apple, and orange blossom. Parker calls it "premier cru Chablis-like" and I wouldn't disagree. A balanced, and even bipolar, round and racy character. This fit the bill perfectly. — 8 years ago

This is my favorite wine right now. Fruity nose dominated by black currant and boysenberry. Moderately dry and smooth with a touch of fuzzy tannins (that add a little structure) and gentle oak. Flavors of black tea, currant with a slight peppery and tannic finish. Moderately full-bodied. A pleasure to drink. — 11 years ago
Pretty nose with a nice spiced pear, lychee, white grapefruit, and a dash of kerosene. At first taste it's a touch sweet, but the bracing acid manages to make it perceive rather dry, notes of pink grapefruit, lime, honey and lavender. All in all a solid #nmwine #value #other46 — 8 years ago

2007 in 2016. Fruit has fallen and has become a little port, a little tawny, but there's a vanillin, a dustiness over dried red fruit and prune that reminds me of a great old Rioja that made me really enjoy this. — 9 years ago

Vintage matters with this one. One of my favorite cabs. 2012 is best. 2011 is good. I didn't much like any other vintage yet. Nice Oak taste. Barrel aged. — 10 years ago
