Chard Farm

River Run Central Otago Pinot Noir 2015

Just perfect. Light color, but lots of depth in flavor. Red berries and Central Otago dirt. Strong sense of terroir and place. Perfect balance. And so, so drinkable. — 6 years ago

Somers Vineyard Mission

Impatiently picking and eating strawberries that are still white on the top. Grittiness like panning for gold on a hot day in gold country. — 7 years ago

Bien Nacido Vineyard Chardonnay 2014

9.2

Gordons Čhanin tasting 6/13/17. $35. #3. Nose like 2013 but more buttery and minerals. Softer and acidic on palate but still balanced and lively with medium finish with tension. Minerals more like river stones. — 8 years ago

Dry River

Martinborough Pinot Noir 2009

Not as opulent as some Central Otago Pinots. This is from Martinborough. James Halliday who has had more Burgundies than most of us called this the "Pommard of New Zealand"! Notes of spice and rhubarb with excellent length. A top quality Pinot. Not cheap at $100+. — 9 years ago

Domaine Vacheron

Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2015

The '15 is superior to the '14 at this point. Whereas the '14 seemed more two-dimensional and driven by its grapefruit tinged acid structure, the '15 is more generous and open and resonant: river-rocks and barely ripened honey dew. — 9 years ago

Cool Climate Central Ranges Viognier 2013

This is a tiny family winery near cold climate Orange in NSW which was a welcome discovery when I was judging at the 2017 Toowoomba Wine Show. They make award winning Shiraz Viognier and straight Viognier in minute quantities. It would be safe to say this would be the first bottle of this wine ever consumed in Copenhagen as I brought it over here. This is a full bodied flavoursome and voluptuous White with attractive Apricot flavours and some bitterness to finish off. Very Good. — 7 years ago

White Hill Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2014

Hard to beat LF from a QPR perspective, or any other perspective when it comes to Cali Chard. Beautifully cut notes of river rock, lemon zest, sage pepper all in a restrained and balanced package. — 7 years ago
